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.

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.
