The hearing aids have significantly improved my life by allowing me to hear conversations

I first became concerned about the gradual deterioration of my hearing, which I had put off addressing for a few years until it became more of a problem. After deciding it was time to seek professional advice, I approached Dr. Mark Overholt at Ear Nose and Throat Consultants of East Tennessee.

My primary concern before contacting them was how progressive my hearing loss might be.

Upon my first visit, I was convinced I was dealing with an exceptional ear specialist who did not rush me into getting hearing aids. The hearing aids have significantly improved my life by allowing me to hear conversations much better without having to ask others to repeat themselves.

For anyone who’s concerned about their hearing, I would say, take the step when you first realize your hearing is not going to get better on its own.

My initial impression of the clinic was one of confidence. Since wearing hearing aids, the volume of my surroundings has significantly increased, making it much easier to hear. If you’re concerned about your hearing and considering a visit, it’s a good choice.

I immediately knew I had picked the right place

I first realized something was up with my ears which left me feeling mad and annoyed. Having never had ear trouble before, it was a shock to me, and my biggest concern was whether this would be it or if my hearing would continue to deteriorate.

My first impressions were great—I immediately knew I had picked the right place. Unlike the other ENT office where I was dismissed, here, Dr. Wheeles listened to me, provided answers, and genuinely valued my concerns.

For anyone worried about their hearing and considering a visit, I would emphatically say, “GO! Get there ASAP.”

I have a severe loss, and people continually tell me they had no idea I have aids

I first realized I had a hearing challenge when I found myself continually saying “what” or “I didn’t hear you.” Before contacting Ear Nose and Throat Consultants of East Tennessee, my main concern was how hearing aids would appear cosmetically.

It’s amazing the technology used in hearing aids today. I have a severe loss, and people continually tell me they had no idea I have aids. My first impression of the clinic was very positive; the overall experience left me feeling confident I was in a good place. I do wear hearing aids every day, and it’s amazing when I take them out how the extreme loss of sound becomes obvious immediately. I particularly appreciate the Bluetooth connection to my phone, as I can make adjustments whenever necessary.

For anyone who feels they have a hearing issue, you will be amazed by the improvement once you are diagnosed and fitted with aids.

I couldn't live without them now!

I first realized I might have a hearing challenge gradually, and it seemed to correlate with my deepening diabetes. Before contacting Ear Nose and Throat Consultants of East Tennessee, I didn’t have any preconceived fears or concerns because they have a good reputation.

My first impression of the clinic was that they were very professional. While hearing aids can’t restore natural hearing, I couldn’t live without them now. When I take them out at night, the world goes almost silent.

If you feel any loss of hearing, run, don’t walk, to an audiologist. Ear Nose and Throat Consultants of East Tennessee is great.
