Dream Patients: The Type of People That We Love Working With
Having cared for the hearing health of tens of thousands of local people, we have learned a lot about who we enjoy working with and who is not the right fit for our services.
With us truly valuing each other’s time, it’s important that we ensure that we’re the right fit for each other and share the same values before progressing with what will be a long-term relationship.
That’s why we have developed this document to outline what an ideal patient looks like to ensure we’re the right match for each other.
It’s important that you read this document to ensure that this feels like the perfect relationship.
The 3 Core Values of a Dream Patient
Kindness.
The reason that we love what we do is because we love making a meaningful difference to incredible people’s lives.
We often turn patients into friends, and we find that the patients that we have the greatest relationships with fundamentally share this core value.
Fun.
Although we’re all here for a rather serious reason, it’s important to have fun.
The patients that we love working with are fun to be around and share our core value that we may as well have fun along the process.
Commitment.
Achieving better hearing requires work. To ensure that you achieve better hearing for life, it means that we’ll have to work together.
There may be some tough times, and some good times, but it’s important that we’ll always be on the same team, and you understand that this is a journey rather than a destination.
If you feel these 3 values represent who you are, then we may just be the perfect match.
Alternatively, if you read the above and discover that it’s not the right relationship to progress with, then there are no hard feelings if you decide that we’re not the right fit for each other.

Our Happy Patients Say
I started losing my hearing 30 years ago when I lived in the Seattle area. As a result, I have seen many audiologists but none have been as professional, knowledgeable, or determined to improve my hearing experience as Erika has been.
Sally S

Erika and her staff have been very professional in dealing with my hearing issues. They have taken time to sit down with me to explain issues and options and answer my questions.
Dolores B

What a wonderful "ear opening" experience wotking with AHAA. They have helped open a world of lost sounds.
An element of my lile has been restored.
BL B

I purchased my hearing aids in December of 2023. The clarity and ease of use are astounding. They are so comfortable I don't know that they are in. They are nearly invisible. The service has been great. I recommend them to anyone.

My experience with AHAA, Erica and staff, has been nothing short of first rate. As a recent cochlear implant recipient, I am grateful and humbled to have access to a clinic with this level of expertise and dedication.
CMac

Erika and her staff are amazing people. They are alway friendly and helpful with problems or questions. I can’t thank Erika enough for recommending hearing aids to deal with my tinnitus and hearing loss. It has made a huge difference.
