I realized I had hearing challenges as a child and felt that no one could help me except the hearing doctor. Over the years, I had to get hearing checkups every six months, and a doctor found a cholesteatoma in my skull that took them five and a half hours to remove. It was a very serious operation, but I am thankful I made it through. I moved to Indiana and am glad I met my new doctor at Family Hearing Care. The staff are very outgoing and willing to help with my hearing aids, and they always communicate with me whenever I need anything. Wearing hearing aids has been really great because now I can hear, even when there's noise and it’s sometimes hard. If someone is concerned about their hearing, I'd say just give the clinic a try. I really like the unique personalities of the people there and how supportive they are. 

My hearing loss came on gradually over several years, and I started to struggle hearing my wife’s voice. I didn’t have any fears before contacting Family Hearing Care, just hope to find a solution for better hearing. My first impression was that they were very pleasant and professional, and I felt like I had been a patient for years. I love that I can change the hearing aid settings on my phone app to adjust for everything from farm machinery and livestock to my wife’s voice or attending church. My favorite thing about working with them is their friendly and welcoming personalities. Do it, don’t hesitate. Dr. Tomlin is great to work with in finding a solution and I’m sure she would honestly tell you if she couldn’t. 

I was a baby when my hearing loss was discovered, which wasn’t a big surprise since both my dad and sister also had hearing impairments. Growing up, I didn’t think much about it, but in high school I realized I needed hearing aids. That was hard because I was in denial and just wanted to fit in. When my previous audiologist retired after more than 20 years, I was nervous about starting over, since I had always cherished that sense of trust and comfort. Luckily, her high recommendation of Dr. Tomlin reassured me. Everyone at Family Hearing Care came across as kind, easygoing, and genuinely attentive. I’ve never been asked before, but my hearing aids make all the difference, I simply couldn’t function without them. They let me do my job, stay connected, and maintain relationships. My favorite thing is how personal and caring the experience feels, Dr. Tomlin and the staff really listen, take their time, and support me at every step. I’d highly recommend the clinic to anyone concerned about their hearing. 

I started to have trouble understanding people in regular conversations, then with TV, then everything. My mother did not get hearing aids until her nineties and I was only in my early seventies, so I first thought the problem was with everything else. It was a case of denial losing to reality, so I decided I needed to be tested. I had zero fears because my mother had already been a patient at Family Hearing Care, and my hospital volunteering showed me how dedicated medical staff can be. The staff was very tuned in to their patients, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Hearing aids have been a huge help and easier to get used to than I expected. My favorite part is the banter with Kelsie, mostly about her "Robinhood" shoes. I would tell anyone concerned about their hearing to take the time on their first visit to get their ears professionally cleaned there, then take the full exam. 

I first realized I had a hearing challenge when I couldn't hear my students whispering questions during quizzes in class. It was really frustrating for both me and my students. When I first visited Family Hearing Care, they were very organized, very polite, always on time, and the office was clean. They focused on my needs and solving my hearing problem. The professionals there, especially Kelsey Tomlin and her associate, as well as the staff, are top-notch and do excellent testing. They listen well, keep up with the latest information about my hearing aids, and helped me find the perfect aids for my needs at a price I can afford. Thanks to the clinic, I can now hear the high notes at a symphony concert and also hear my wife when she whispers to me during a concert or in a meeting. 

I used to struggle with meeting new people because I worried about not hearing them properly or mishearing what they said. I would often avoid conversations with people who didn’t know I had hearing problems. I had family members who wore hearing aids in the past, and they always seemed to have complaints, so I assumed that would be my experience too. Very thankfully, that is not the case at all. From the beginning, everyone was kind, caring, and helpful. Wearing hearing aids has helped restore my confidence after years of worrying about communication. If someone is concerned about their hearing, I would urge them not to wait. My favorite part of working with the team is being treated with compassion and respect.

At first, I thought all I needed was more volume. That worked for a while, but as my natural hearing got worse, I realized that clarity matters more than volume. I didn’t have any real concerns before reaching out, since I had already been using hearing aids for 10 years. I’m actually on my fourth pair now. I first connected with the clinic after attending a presentation and liked what I heard. It’s important to get educated about the use and care of hearing aids. My hearing aids are my lifeline. Without them, I would feel isolated from the world. If someone is concerned about their hearing, I’d tell them to get educated about hearing loss and consider making an appointment to talk to an audiologist as soon as possible. For me, the best part of working with this team is having the opportunity to talk to a professional who really understands hearing loss. 

I realized I had a hearing challenge several years ago. Since my brother has worn hearing aids since he was six, I’ve always understood the need for them, so I didn’t have any fears before reaching out. My first impression was that you were there to take care of my hearing needs, and that’s exactly what you’ve done. Wearing hearing aids has made a big difference, you don’t miss out when you can hear. To anyone concerned about their hearing, I’d simply say, get your hearing checked. My favorite part about working with the team is that they are always glad to assist. 

I started to notice something was wrong with my hearing when I could no longer understand my son, or most men, when they spoke. I also couldn’t hear the TV and felt like I was constantly annoying people by asking them to repeat themselves. It left me feeling very alone in my silence. I didn’t really have any fears before reaching out, as I had already been wearing hearing aids for several years. My first impression was that the team was very thorough with my evaluation, professional and empathetic throughout. Hearing aids are everything to me now, they are my life, as I’m deaf without them. To anyone concerned about their hearing, I would say: go get an evaluation and get the hearing aids, they will change your life. My favorite part of working with this clinic is the professional and friendly staff.change your life.
