Q: Why do you do that thing you do?
A: So many years in to the making of what we do at the Hearing Lab.

A: I spend a minimum of 4-5 hours of Lab time working on a customized set of Hearing Instruments before they ever land in there Ears. I use many tools not standard in the industry to calibrate each Instrument Chipset to each person’s unique Hearing environments for best results. On average I will spend over 24 accumulative hours of time within a 6-8 week period making sure each patron gets everything they need to Hear there best.

A: I work with some of the best people and manufactured products in the industry.

Most importantly, if it were not for my wonderful patrons who trust in me to provide the results I do, all is for not..
