“After ignoring my hearing loss for a long time, I made an appointment to meet with Alison Wyss, a clinical audiologist. Alison is very patient and extremely informative. She answered all my questions and I chose the right hearing aids for me. My hearing aids were very easy to get used to and easy to maintain. Overall a very positive experience.”
