Hearing Loss: Choosing the Right Audiologist
Dr. Ronna Fisher | Ask the Audiologist

If you only heard with your ears, then any audiologist would do…but the truth is, it’s your brain processing what you hear. And no matter how state of the art your hearing instrument may be, it will not do you any good if it’s not properly programmed and adjusted by a licensed and trained audiologist! That is why the Doctors at Hearing Health Center take the time to learn all about you, establish a relationship with you and your family, and provide YOU with a solution for your hearing problems that suits YOUR individual needs.
What to look for:
