"My experience was surprising smooth sailing. It was nice to see how far technology has improved with hearing tests and hopefully the same for the hearing aides. "
"fantastic"
"My experience has been awesome! Carol and her staff are extremely knowledgeable, and they have helped me deal with my hearing loss in the most positive way possible. I feel very fortunate to have landed in their office four and a half years ago when I moved here. Because of Carol's expertise and knowledge, and with the assistance of the State of New Mexico and state-of-the-art technology, I am able to perform my job and live my life in a much more efficient and comfortable way than I thought would be possible. I am forever grateful!"
" Carol Clifford is quite warm and attentive, taking time to explain what is being assessed, the outcome of the examination and the approach to resolving problems. The client's imput, questions and comments are heard. My bottom line concerns were addressed and I was offered unexpected information of what may or may not be a source of my personal concern (tinnitus). Several avenues of treatment were presented and a focus was selected. The front desk staff is friendly and efficient, making one feel welcome and relaxed. When I left, I was confident I'd dealt with professionals. "
"Everyone at this facility was very friendly, caring, and professional. The technician took the time to explain the process and the purpose of each phase of the examination."
"highly recommend"

Hearing tests help us determine how much hearing loss we have. The tests measure the ability for us to hear sounds in the inner ear and sounds transmitted through the skull. Most tests use sounds or words to respond to, and some require no response. Hearing tests are used on newborns and young children, routine physical exams, older adults, and those who are exposed to persistent loud noises (such as construction workers).

What? Could you repeat that? If you find yourself asking for someone to reiterate what they just said more than a few times a week, you may need to get your ears checked. Consequently, a hearing aid may be your best bet! Hearing aids are utilized by people who have damaged the small sensory cells in the inner ear, called hair cells, which results in hearing loss.
