Marybeth struggled to hear at large gatherings or when dining with six or more people. Her hearing loss, along with her irritating tinnitus, left her in an awkward position.
She recalls, “I couldn’t hear the people sitting across from me. I basically would nod and smile and hope it was an appropriate response. I felt left out of conversations and ill at ease.”
Although Marybeth knew she needed hearing aids, she was “concerned that I would not be able to handle them. I was also concerned about how they would look or change my appearance.”
Fortunately, she found the reassurance and support she needed at her first appointment. “The Audiology Associates were very friendly. The office felt very welcoming.”
With her hearing aids, social gatherings are much more enjoyable now for Marybeth. She says, “I attend gatherings without the fear of being left out or unable to hear.”
She also finds the apps that control her hearing aids and mask her tinnitus very helpful. Overall, she is very satisfied with Audiology Associates and encourages everyone to try them out.
She says, “The associates are very thorough and patient friendly. Every aspect is explained carefully and questions are welcome. …Help is just a phone call away.”

Kimberley has had a hearing loss since childhood and didn’t get hearing aids until she was 18. Now, at 51, she has had plenty of experience with audiologists over the years, and some of those experiences were not always positive.
She says, “I have had poor experiences with several audiologists in my past where I feel they simply were pushing to make money and not find what is best for me.”
Although it’s been a while since her first Audiology Associates visit, she recalls, “At first, I was worried it was not as ‘glossy’ as some I’d been into. But then, I almost immediately found this group is focused on what the customer needs – not decorating and fancy places.
“I prefer an honest, customer-centric approach. I like that I am not treated like a number in this firm.
“I found Audiology Associates to be a trustworthy group and I’ve lost track of how long I’ve been coming there. I even now live 2700 miles away and still fly back to see my office. I have a confidence in this group after they have helped me overcome many challenges with my hearing over the decades.”
Summing up her relationship with Audiology Associates, she says, “I would say life-altering in every way. Without them, I would feel isolated, unable to stay connected to the world around me. Unconnected in my relationships.”
Kimberly says she “would 120% recommend this group above others in the region,” and she encourages “anyone to speak to any audiologist associated with Audiology Associates.”

Oftentimes, people are hesitant to get their hearing loss treated because they fear what others might think if they need hearing aids.
Paul recalls the moment when he realized he had a hearing loss, saying, “I was in a demonstration meeting at work and I couldn’t understand what the person was saying. When I asked a few questions, even though the person answered, people around me had to repeat what was said. I felt a little embarrassed, and old.”
The thought of hearing aids troubled Paul and he worried whether they would affect his career. He says, “My concern was would others worry if I was becoming too old for my position. I was concerned that wearing hearing aids would make me be perceived as being old.”
Following his first appointment at Audiology Associates, Paul thought the team was “knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.”
And his experience with his new hearing aids is equally positive. Paul explains, “I am able to have a conversation without asking people to repeat themselves. I am also able to hear when my family are out to dinner in a noisy place.”
He is further impressed with today’s technology. Paul continues, “And the technology features are a big plus, such as Bluetooth connection to my iPhone so I receive my calls directly in my hearing aids.”
To those considering an appointment, he says, “Do it! Don’t wait. Audiology Associates are easy to work with, and most of all, they genuinely care about you.”

When you have a hearing loss, finding an audiologist you can count on is important. Amy learned this at a very young age.
“I was born hard of hearing and throughout life my concern has been staying connected in social situations from school to work to play,” she says.
So when she moved to Maryland, she was worried whether she’d find a good hearing care provider. Fortunately, she found Audiology Associates.

Amy also loves her hearing aids. She says, “The advancements in hearing technology mean I worry less about if I’ll be able to hear on a conference call or in a crowded lecture hall.
“I would have no life without them. I would be so isolated and alienated from society if I did not have hearing aids. I’m so grateful for them!”
As someone with a lifelong history of hearing challenges, Amy advises, “Hearing health matters! Get your hearing checked and with the help of an audiologist, find what device may help you hear loved ones more clearly or hear the dialogue on a favorite TV show that makes you laugh.”

Since getting his hearing aids, Robert says, “The overall quality of my life has improved 25%.”

The next step was addressing her hearing loss, which came very easy, as she knew how “professional” the whole team is at Audiology Associates.

She recalls, “I was an elementary school counselor and during a lesson, I realized I was missing many words as the children spoke. I was so worried that I couldn’t be responsive to them. Then one day, I didn’t hear the fire alarm! That could have been tragic.”
Part of her job involved taking children to the audiologist and sitting with them during their evaluation, so Susan was already familiar with the testing process.
She eventually met Dr. Michaela at Union Memorial Hospital in the office of Dr. Alan Shikani. This was the beginning of a life-changing relationship.
Susan explains, “She was so pleasant and welcoming! I liked her right away and she explained procedures as they happened. She shared results so that I understood them.
“When it turned out that I needed hearing aids, she carefully showed me how they work. And when they came in, Dr. Michaela spent time making sure they worked properly.”
She is pleased with her hearing aids and hasn’t encountered any problems with them. She says, “I can hear words now and I turn the TV down to a proper level.
“During the pandemic, I still had trouble hearing people through the masks, but I had an adjustment made by Dr. Lowe, who is also wonderful.”
Based on her positive experience with Audiology Associates, Susan says, “Do not hesitate to have your hearing evaluated. This a very reputable organization and you will be treated with respect.

She realized she had a hearing loss several years ago. Mary recalls, “I was having to turn the television up and up, I was starting to have to ask people to repeat themselves, I wasn’t hearing the birds or the rustle of leaves in the wind anymore.”
Mary came to Audiology Associates and knew she had found the right place for help. She says, “I didn’t get that ‘on an assembly line’ feeling or experience, which was a blessing and quite a unique and refreshing experience from other doctors’ offices these days. I was treated as an individual.”
Her new hearing aids have reconnected Mary to many joys in life. “I can hear the rustle of the leaves in the wind! Sounds simple, but after years of missing it, it’s wonderful.”
However, she does acknowledge her hearing didn’t return to perfect overnight. Mary says, “I have to admit, at first, it was difficult for me to accept I needed to wear them every day. They felt ‘different,’ everything seemed ‘louder,’ but it was just me getting used to being able to hear all the things I had previously been missing.
“Now, I take them off right before bed and put them on as I get out of bed. Not having them on NOW seems odd.”
Mary encourages others to visit Audiology Associates and get tested. She concludes, “Go. Life is too short to miss out on the things you don’t have to miss.”

Judith recalls, “At work, I was at a training with a video, and my co-workers were laughing at some dialogue – and I realized I could not hear it!”
Additionally, she had moments where she thought others weren’t speaking clearly. She continues, “I realized that in other situations, when I thought someone was mumbling, they probably weren’t and I was being unfair to them.”
Based on the recommendation of a friend, Judith decided to book an appointment with Audiology Associates at their Ellicot City location, despite not knowing “what hearing aids were like then.”
Like many other patients before their appointment, she says she “didn’t know that they were basically invisible and were comfortable to wear.”
Judith says, “I got a good exam and saw how my hearing needed help.”
Overall, Judith is very satisfied with her new hearing aids. She says, “I still have some hearing loss with the hearing aids, but without them I am in big trouble.”

He recalls, “There was this brilliant man, and I hung on his every word…when I could. He was a giant in his industry, and literally a Grey Beard. I could not read his lips! It was then that I realized how much and how often I depended on the ability to first see, then read lips.”
Faced with the prospect of needing hearing aids, Albert positively approached his situation. He says, “From my perspective, seeing an audiologist could only result in better hearing. There was no downside to seeing an audiologist.”

She says, “The biggest concern was I knew I was missing parts of conversations that were important to my daily living with my husband, friends, colleagues, and work.
“When I was at work, people would whisper something in my ear and I would not hear it. I would miss things during meetings, especially if I was the one who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be taking the minutes. I would have to keep playing the recording of the meeting back over and over again to get all of the conversation that I missed.”

“Gave a good deal of time for questions, concerns, and explanation of testing.”

“They definitely helped me.”
Often feeling left out, Mary got to the point where she “couldn’t understand conversations with people with soft speaking voices.”
What initially concerned her was the cost of “hearing aids.” However, when she visited the clinic, she knew she was in the right place.
After meeting Dr. Anne only once, she thought that she was “very helpful and acted like she cared about me.”
Since then, she has had hearing aids for 5 years now, adding, “They definitely helped me.”
Mary encourages others to “Get your hearing checked – it is much better to wear hearing aids than not hear people you love.”
Based on Mary’s experience with Audiology Associates, she rates us as 9/10.

“Give it a go! Be patient. The technology and the skills are there to assist you in improving your hearing.”
While her hearing loss could be disguised, Pat first came to terms with her hearing loss when she realized that she couldn’t hear the birds singing outside.
Truthfully, her hearing aids took some time to adjust to, but now she can’t go a day without them and feels “funny if they aren’t in my ears.”
Looking back, she couldn’t imagine life without her hearing aids and finds that she is much more relaxed in social settings.
She encourages others to visit the team at Audiology Associates, adding, “Give it a go! Be patient. The technology and the skills are there to assist you in improving your hearing.”

“Call and make an appointment. I’ll go with you if you want.”
While Robert understood he suffered with a hearing loss, he assumed that “nothing could be done to help me hear better.”
Out of curiosity, he booked an appointment to see what could be done and it took him by surprise.
Since then, he can hear better in almost any circumstance and is “so glad I sought help.”
What made the process so easy was how accommodating the team was, as the “audiologist asked pertinent questions, was warm and reassuring.”
Robert adds, “Call and make an appointment. I’ll go with you if you want.”
