Richmond Hearing Doctors - West End

“I first went to Richmond Hearing Doctors after the pandemic, when my previous audiologist sold her practice, and it no longer offered service for Lyric (Phonak) subscribers. I drive from Charlottesville every eight weeks or so to have the devices replaced - a pleasant drive, and certainly worth my time for the care I have received. ”

“Have been a patient for several years with Dr Imajo. She has been very helpful with calm focused evaluation of my hearing and the best treatment. The results have been very good. Thanks Doc.”

“I have been going to Richmond Hearing Doctors for a year and a half. This was my first visit with Susan Ulmer. She was cordial and professional. She was able to answer my many questions. I look forward to working with her as I select my new set of hearing aids ”

“I can’t say enough good things about this practice. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and responsive. I have been with Dr Ball for many years and always feel like she goes the extra mile to help.”

“I’ve been seeing Susan Ulmer for approximately 5 years & her knowledge has been exceptional. I’m now ready for hearing aids but unfortunately my Humana insurance doesn’t accept RHD. Sorry to have to move to another practice.”

“Richmond Hearing Doctors is an excellent place if you need hearing aids. They are very knowledgeable and genuinely care about their patients. I hear better now than I have in years because of Leah’s recommendations. I highly recommend them!”

“Susan Ulmer is wonderful. She will work with you to insure that your hearing aids are the best fit for you. Not to mention that she genuinely cares about you. ”

“Dr Daniel Shearer is simply the best audiologist in every sense of the word: Professional, thorough, a great communicator and matches those qualities with understanding of one’s concerns and kindness. ”

“I purchased my hearing aids nearly 3 years ago and began having issues with them recently. I called, made an appointment and took them to the Richmond Hearing Doctors - West End office. I met with Dr. Shearer who checked them and made the necessary repairs as I waited. He also made me an appointment to meet with Dr. Ball for a hearing exam. I met with her a week later and she checked my hearing and made the adjustments to the hearing aids. It was quick and easy and I highly recommend Richmond Hearing Doctors.”

“Dr Daniel Shearer was the audiologist who provided me with an excellent assessment. I was worried that I might have hearing loss but didn't want to be pushed into wearing hearing aids if I did not need them. Dr Shearer gave me a thorough exam and explained the outcome very professionally but in terms that I could easily understand. I thought he was fabulous and would highly recommend going to him if you need your hearing assessed.”

“Dr. Ball carefully listens and answer all my questions in a way I understand. She’s very kind and personable.”

“Daniel was very helpful and knowledgeable about my hearing problems and hearing aids. I felt this is the best experiences I have had since I noticed more problems hearing. Thank u so much for all the time explaining my concerns &remedies u provided.”

“Dr. Shearer was excellent. He tested and evaluated my hearing loss and Tinnitus condition thoroughly. Explained all my options and answered all my questions in a most professional, through, and congenial manner. He allayed many of my concerns and covered future expectations with my conditions . I highly Recommend Richmond Hearing Doctors if you have hearing concerns.”

“Friendly, professional Knowlegable, very competent staff. What more would one need. Tom ”

“Dr. Ball is always helpful to continue my education about using my Aids. It's a pleasure to visit their office. Thank You”

“I was in for a replacement as I am new to all this. I had only met with one person before but found Daniel to be so kind and informative as I navigated my new situation. It seems I was doing everything wrong. But he did not not make me feel that way. He was very helpful. ”

“Always appreciate the attention and courtesy paid by everyone in this office. Can't imagine going anywhere else. Highly recommend the honestly and friendly doctors and staff. ”

“Richmond Hearing is by far the finest, most professional and caring audiology group I have experienced anywhere in the world. From the moment you walk in through being cared for by great hearing professionals you know you are receiving the highest level of treatment available. And they are caring, flexible and forward thinking. A 5 rating is insufficient. Thank you Team!”

“Richmond Hearing Doctors was a wedding gift to me. My husband was a patient of Kim’s at the time of our marriage, at Richmond Hearing Doctors. I began seeing Kim and my hearing experience changed for the better instantly. Between Kim and Susan Ulmer, who came to the practice later I have found not a perfect hearing solution but vast improvement. Susan is the ultimate, professional with expertise and experience that is truly amazing. All I have to do is explain to her what is amiss with my hearing aids and she has a solution!!! I am so grateful to Susan as she keeps my hearing at its best of level functioning. I am grateful to my husband, Mike for giving me the second best wedding gift a woman could ever have…. Richmond Hearing Doctor. The first, of course was himself! ”

“Very well attended to by the receptionist, very courteous and helpful, the problem I had was my left hearing aid was not connecting to my iPhone, I was offered to be attended by a Hearing Doctor very courteous but I had to wait since it was a Friday and they closed at midday, anyway I decided to go home and I fixed the problem myself. I hereby I apologize to interrupt your activity, when it was a problem I could have fixed myself before going there.”

“Attentive, caring, listens. Answers questions. Does not up-sell. Provides best options for you. Front desk and staff customer service oriented. I love this place!”

“Dr. Imajo is excellent! These were my first hearing aids and she ensured I received a great fit and excellent sound quality. The shape of one of my ear canals presented a challenge to get a good fit and she took the time needed to get a great fit. ”

“Dr. Ball is excellent! She takes time to talk and listen while working to ensure that I can hear as well as possible. ”

“Hearing Doctors and Dr. Imajo have been my audiologists for a long time but not my first. I have been wearing hearing aids for 20 years. I appreciate that they keep me up-to-date on hearing aid improvements. When my hearing can be improved or, if it cannot, there is no presssure to change devices. I know they wil try for the best fit for me so my hearing will be the maximum it can be. New ears would have to be next!”

“The doctor did a great job renewing my hearing aids”

“Always able to get in a reasonable timeframe, the knowledge and patience is amazing. Will always recommend”

“Dr. Ball refurbished my very old hearing aids. They are now easier to use and I am enjoying being able to hear better. Her service and care are excellent”

“One word...BEST!! I wish every appointment that I have to keep would be this nice. The office is filled with competent staff and doctors. A pleasant experience all around!!”

“Excellent ”

“I wasn't old enough to be old thus I wanted a friendly place and personable individuals to meet my needs. They listened, tested and consulted me as to which aid be be a good fit for my hearing loss and other issues I had. When I need a tweek or have an issue I can't figure out it's easy to get an appointment or I stop by. ”

“Great response to immediate issue scheduling me, then solving the problem quickly and taking care of my hearing and repairing my hearing aids etc. ”

“I had my normal 6 month check in appointment today and had my hearing aids settings ‘tweaked’, got an update on the latest tech available and what is on the horizon. Richmond Hearing Doctors does such a great job of staying on top of the latest developments in the industry, but also making sure everything is going well with my experience as a patient. Couldn’t be happier with these folks. ”

“I don’t yet need hearing aids, but decided to have my checked every five years (first at age 70, now 75). I see Susan Ulmer, whom I believe is not only a highly competent pro, but also has a “user-friendly” personality that puts me at ease, shows respect and interest. No hard sell about anything. The office is pleasant, clean and modern.”

“Excellent service all personnel are very helpful ”

“I've seen many audiologists over the years and Richmond Hearing Doctors is top notch. I highly recommend my audiologist, Susan Ulmer. ”

“I was quite satisfied with the entirety of the care I received and would happily recommend Hearing Doctors to others.”

“Dr. Leah Ball has gone "above and beyond" at every step of the process. I couldn't be more pleased.”

“Dr. Dan Shearer is an excellent audiologist, and has demonstrated proficiency in profound deafness. You will not go wrong with services provided by Dr. Shearer. ”

“When faced with the reality that you’re hearing is failing, there is a sense of embarrassment. The staff at Richmond Hearing Doctors put me completely at ease. They explained every detail, offered reassurance as they perform my hearing test and then gave me a very detailed report on where my hearing deficiencies were. Dr. Shearer was incredible as he eased me through the process, and then explained how my hearing deficit was affecting my everyday life. He offered me all options possible that included if things did not work out, there was a 45 day return policy. I can’t say enough about the positive experience I had and the feeling of freedom again to hear the sounds and voices I didn’t realize I was missing. You will not regret visiting their clinic and gaining the hearing that you don’t realize , you have lost. ”

“Highly recommend Richmond hearing Doctors, Leah Ball is the best!!”

I have mainly worked with Leah and I can't say enough about her amazing customer service and how she truly strives to make sure you get what you need to hear the best that you can!

“Daniel was a great listener and solved all my immediate issues. He will be my hearing Doctor from now on. Update Feb. 2024 - I called because my hearing aide went out just as I was leaving town. They were wonderful in squeezing me into a busy schedule. I left town with a functioning hearing aide. I have had two appointments and this repair with great service and very professional and friendly attention.”

“I had an appointment with Daniel to discuss my long standing tinnitus and possible hearing issues. He was very thorough and gave me lots of information about both. I felt better knowing I’m in a good place right now and when I need to follow up.”

“I am always very nervous when I have a doctors appointment and Anxiety sets in, however, my visit with Dr. Daniel Shearer was absolutely the best visit ever. Checking in and out was also the best. The staff has shown such wonderful support, calmness professional treatment. I will definitely refer this office to my Family and Friends. ”

“As always, a pleasure to work with Dr. Leah. She personifies excellent service as she has done for me for many years now.”

“ It is easy to give a glowing review when everything goes perfectly with no unforeseen problems. When something totally unexpected happens with your charging station and All of the Team (Lisa, Susan, Sara and Dr. Ball) help you immediately and get you a replacement, then I would say I would quickly recommend Dr. Leah Ball and all her team again and again. I look forward to seeing all of you again when I am once again in Richmond. Take care, Sarah ”

“This is the best set of hearing doctors I've encountered in more than 20 years of trips to the audiologist. Dr. Susan Ulmer does a top notch job. I recommend this practice to anyone looking for expert hearing care. ”

“Staff was very professional. After the audiologist adjusted my hearing aids and worked with them to create my workable "hearing comfort level", I was able to hear a clock "tic toc" and birds whistling in the air. This may not be the case for everyone, but they took the time to reach the highest therapeutic level possible with the resources that I had. Recommend Richmond Hearing Doctors on Glenside.”

“I highly recommend Richman Hearing Doctors. I have been under the care of Dr Kim Imajo and recently had an appointment for a hearing test. She is very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. My appointments are always on time, she has helped me sort out some issues with my charger, always there to listen and resolve any questions I may have. ”

“Excellent care”

“Richmond Hearing Doctors provide competent care. They are supportive and knowledgeable.”

“This practice is the best! I had a dome cap, stuck deep in my ear canal. I think everyone on the team participated in trying to extract it. Even though they were not able to remove it in the office, they quickly got on the phone and referred me to an ENT, who had the specialized equipment to do this. It was removed that day. Yah! I am very appreciative of all the efforts of everyone going above and beyond, like always. :-) ”

“They started on time, explained each step before starting give over view of finding. The part I really liked was when I was told I had some hearing lost as lots of people have as they age. That I could probably benefit from hearing aid but they would not pressure me into getting them. No scare tactics or sense of urgency. If I decide let them know.”

“Excellent service staff and Susan are the ”

“The office staff is wonderful and Susan is the best. Always a pleasant experience and Susan is easy to talk to and explains things thoroughly and is extremely helpful.”

“I was referred to this practice a year ago by my physician. Both of my visits to see Leah Ball have been wonderful. She is very experienced, kind, caring, and understanding. The office staff was great to work with. I highly recommend this practice for anyone experiencing hearing issues.”

“Susan gets a "thumbs up" from me! I was less than enthusiastic about wearing a hearing aid and admitting that my ear was getting OLD...(not the rest of me). She was reassuring, not at all pushy, and even suggested that I could opt out after an actual trial. She was informative and really helped the decision-making. When we discovered my ear canal was in-between sizes, she immediately made an exact mold and sent it to the manufacturer to create a perfect fit. On a subsequent visit, she adjusted the device to my personal preferences. Now I can hear all of the sarcastic comments from my kids. (Bonus...Susan has a great sense of humor.)”

“Dr Ball is one of my favorite doctors. I feel like she really cares about not only my hearing needs but my overall health as well. I’m very pleased with the care I receive from her. Her office runs smoothly and efficiently. ”

“I am so grateful and pleased with the care I got from Dr. Daniel at Richmond Hearing Doctors. He was extremely patient and addressed all my hearing concerns and adjusted my hearing aids. I can now hear better without any discomfort. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs hearing aids and hearing aid adjustment. Thank you so much!”

“So thankful that my friend recommended Richmond Hearing Doctors when I needed their care. They are welcoming and expert in listening and recommending the best approach to solving your Hearing problems. Leah even saw me after office hours when I needed help. Can't ask for anything more!”

“Highly recommend Richmond Hearing Doctors! Been with them since the beginning! Great at what they do and they really care about their patients. They’re the absolute best!”

“I highly recommend Richmond Hearing Doctors. Susan is excellent at what she does. Patient, understanding, knowledgeable and honest. Never tries to sell her patients something they don’t need. She has been working with me for years. Makes sure I understand and pleased with all adjustments. ”

“I'm glad to have made an appointment with Hearing Doctors because I have hearing aids that work for my ears now I can hear with clarity thank you Hearing Doctors for your help.”

“Excellent service for over three years. Kim did a thorough test of my aids just before Warranty expired and found things to be fixed under warranty. Always responsive to my questions and needs.”

“Simply the BEST audiologist organization there is. Appointments ‘on time’, check-in easy, evaluations thorough, hearing aids simply the best. And Dr. Ball truly ‘my favorite Dr.’ ever.”

“Impress with staff and clinician assisting me through the process. She was patient , courteous, and calm which relaxed me as she navigated me through the process!”

“A pleasant experience being evaluated and having the desired result of better hearing.”

“Efficient and super friendly staff. ”

“Dr. Imajo took excellent care of my late sister, who wore hearing aids, and that is when I became aware of their excellent service. So when I decided it was time to have my hearing checked I knew that was where I wanted to go. New offices but still the same excellent service.”

“Dr, Ulmer has been my hearing doctor for over 10 years. She is very generous with her time and fits me in when I have unexpected problems. She has lent me a loaner when I would be away with my family for the holidays and one has been acting up so I have a replacement during that short time away and can continue to hear my family. She also introduces me to some of the items that have come out that can enhance my hearing in specific situations. I have referred 2 of my friends to her and they have also been very satisfied.”

“Richmond Hearing Doctors has the best customer service of any medical practice I have had experience with....hands down!! These are excellent doctors who have so much expertise and experience. I see Dr. Leah Ball, and I can't even begin to put into words how helpful, knowledgeable, thorough, concerned and very very patient she always is. When I had trouble with one of my hearing aids, she went way above and beyond to get me a brand new pair and make sure I was more than satisfied. She never gets impatient with questions (no matter how many times you ask ), anxieties or issues. She absolutely does everything she can to make sure that her patients are hearing the very best they can with excellent hearing aids. When I have had to go in when Leah was not in the office, I have received the same courtesy and concern from every one I have seen. The office staff couldn't be more helpful or more friendly. Being hearing impaired has many challenges, but Richmond Hearing Doctors works hard to help their patients meet those challenges and live their fullest lives. Thank you Richmond Hearing Doctors. And a special heartfelt thanks to Leah for all you do for me!”

“I have been a patient of RHD for 5+ years. Besides being professional in manner and knowledgeable in their field, they always take the extra step to make sure that my aids are working well. No matter what the issue may be, they are quick to respond and either solve the technical problem or, in my case, answer my questions with patience no matter how difficult the issue may seem to me! ”

“I always feel well taken care of at RHD. Service with a smile. ”

“RHD is just marvelous! I originally went to another provider - and over time became very dissatisfied with the services and practices. Now I have real audiologists who can clean wax etc. from my ears & are not trying to extract as many dollars as the can for ancillary services like batteries & small hearing aid supply needs. These ladies are the real deal! ”

“Couldn’t be more pleased with all aspects of my evaluation and treatment for my hearing loss. My ‘new’ hearing aids are particularly nice with the latest Bluetooth technology. Leah Ball is without question my all time favorite doctor. ”

“Richmond Hearing Doctors is by far the most professional, knowledgeable, and caring practice in the Richmond area. Dr. Ball and her wonderful staff have guided me through my hearing loss for the past 8 years. My family and I consider Leah and Shelley our friends, and we don't hesitate to call with questions/needs. I always enjoy my appointments. I leave their office with a smile and the knowledge of something new that was shared with me. This practice has it all-fixes hearing aid equipment on site, offers the latest in equipment, hearing tests on site, ear checks on site, etc. If they can't help you, they know who can. Dr. Ball always goes beyond the expected in researching what is best for each of her patients, and her encouragement to get out there and live is tremendous, She is the reason I am able to continue doing all the things I love in a hearing world with a hearing loss. So, folks, this is the practice you absolutely need to contact with your hearing loss needs and questions. ”

“Dr. Ball has been my audiologist for many, many years. My appointments are always very professional and productive, and they keep me from having problems with my hearing aids. Their customer service is great--very efficient and friendly.”

“Hearing Doctors is the best and and most effective medical professional group I have ever experienced. They are a great role model for how a business should be operated. Kim, Susan, Leah, are so knowledgeable and professional yet friendly, down to earth real human beings. They are empathic and seem to understand, predict and have a plan to fix a problem before it ever presents itself!!! lol. Seriously, they have the answer and will stick with you until a problem is solved. I have recommended Hearing Docs to many friends and family. The office staff is excellent, efficient and friendly. Their texting system to confirm an appointment is so great, fast and simple. They will always be the #1 hearing doctors in Richmond for my family and me.”

“I have been going to Richmond Hearing Doctors for a few years. They consistently provide great customer service. Leah Ball and the staff are wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about Leah. She takes her time to ensure that you fully understand what the best options are for your specific hearing needs. Always professional, kind, thorough, and never rushes through any of my visits. I highly recommend this group. ”

“I have been a patient at Richmond Hearing Doctors for 10 years or more with Mrs. Ulmer. I have been very satisfied with her help and attention to my hearing needs over the years as I graduated to stronger and stronger hearing aids. When I have emergencies she always is able to fit me in and if necessary set me up with alternative hearing aids while she sends mine off for repair, She is patient with my lack of understanding of technology and is a good educator!”

“I have been a patient at Richmond Hearing Doctors for over 10 years and love my audiologist! She is knowledgeable, explains my diagnosis and options clearly, and works with me to find the best solutions. Just the best!”

“Very customer service oriented and happy to meet with patients at the patients' request!”

“Very professional, on time, and very customer oriented!”

“Wonderful folks. Great service.”

“I have been going to the West End office for 18 months. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I get appointments in a timely fashion and I am always seen on time. I have seen Dr. Imajo and Dr. Ball, they are professional and friendly, always answer my questions. I am so glad to have found this wonderful practice to go to. ”

“My appointment was with Dr. Ulmer. She listened and answered my questions. The testing went smoothly and she explained everything very well. I felt that her recommendations were helpful and I left there feeling good about my hearing the solutions to my issues. I would highly recommend. The office staff was very friendly as well.”

“This practice is outstanding in every way. Dr. Imajo is working diligentlt, trying to help me hear a little better. (I am very hard of hearing.) I wish I had known about this practice earlier in my hearing aid journey. ”

“Really nice, working hard to get my hearing corrected. Thanks”

“The staff are always friendly, accommodating and professional. I have never felt rushed, even when they worked me in due to an immediate problem. Dr Ball, whom I regularly see, and Dr Ulmer, whom I saw when worked in, are great. I have recommended this practice to a number of friends. I rate them highly!!!”

“Dr. Ball is fantastic and I wish that more physicians were like her. She is genuine and cares for and about her patients. Shelley, has always been very helpful as well. They make you feel like your family. I do not want to take away from any of the other staff because they have been attentive and helpful as well. With the exception of one time I have always seen Dr. Ball. I am sorry that I do not remember the name of the person I saw but she was very nice. I have never had a bad experience at Richmond Hearing Doctors.”

“Richmond Hearing Doctors is a wonderful group of professionals! My advice is use an independent like this practice. Of course, if you have access to Richmond Hearing Doctors I recommend you use them for your hearing needs. ”

“Dr Imajo is the best. She is so patient with me and my hearing problem. She is doing all she can to help me hear better so I can have a better quality of life. There are new aids coming out that she is suggesting we consider. If I cannot ever hear better it’s is not that didn’t give her best effort. Great staff that responds to my needs.”

“Dr. Kim Imajo with Richmond Hearing Doctors has been my audiologist for many years. I can always count on her to listen to me and give me the best advice and product to meet my personal hearing needs.”

“Very simple... Leah Ball and Richmond Hearing Doctors is the BEST THERE IS. I could not be more pleased. ”

They have been very helpful and have shown me many ways to improve the quality of my life with better hearing. ”

“One of my hearing aids stopped working. Although I had not purchased it from Richmond Hearing Doctors, I called the office and was told to bring it In. In less than ten minutes the device was repaired, and at a very reasonable cost. The office is following Covid prevention procedures. I was very pleased with that initial experience and will return.”

“I came to Richmond Hearing Doctors for Lyric replacements. Not only did I receive superb service, the annual subscription price was substantially less than I had paid previously. As if that weren't enough ... Leah wants to evaluate my loss more thoroughly, observing an imbalance my previous audiologist had not noted. This is well worth a pleasant drive from Charlottesville.”

“Doctor Ulmer and the staff at Richmond Hearing Doctors were courteous, professional, and quite knowledgeable. They were attentive to my needs and made recommendations that were corroborated by hearing professionals elsewhere. I would highly recommend them ”

“Wonderful experience! Dr Ball had me "try out" new hearing aids for about 10 days. They were perfect - didn't need any adjustments to the frequencies or sound level. I purchased them, really like them, and now want to put them on first thing in the morning. Quite a different experience from my first pair of hearing aids from a different provider. I highly recommend Hearing Doctors, particularly Dr Ball.”

“I love Richmond Hearing Doctors-West End!!! I’ve been with Dr. Ball and Shelly before Richmond Hearing Doctors, and was so glad to find them!!! ”

“The west end office is convenient to me and all audiologists and staff are superb.Appointments are asap or faster if you need that. Audiologists are knowledgeable and share their wisdom with clients. You cant go wrong here.”

“Excellent experience with Susan. She always helps out. ”

“Over the last 9 years, I have received excellent service from Hearing Doctors Inc. My audiologist, Dr. Kim Imajo, a highly trained outstanding audiologist, is efficient and effective and professional. The entire office staff is friendly and service oriented. I highly recommend them. ”

“I don't recall how I ended up going to Richmond Hearing Doctors - West End but am so thankful that I did! Dr. Ball and staff are fantastic. I wish that more physicians were as caring as Dr. Ball. The staff is also helpful and friendly. I see and talk to Shelly more than the other staff members and she has always been helpful and knowledgeable. When you go there you really feel like they care about you not only as a patient but as a person.”

“Dr. Ball is very knowledgeable and up to date about the latest advances in hearing aid technology. She is also very personable and a pleasure to work with. ”

“Dr. Ball is a great audiologist. I saw her after. I was initially went to someone else who pushed me to get hearing aids 5 years ago when I only had mild hearing loss. When I got those hearing aids I could barely hear any difference. I returned them . When I went to Dr. Ball , she tested me and said my hearing was mildly decreased but it was not surprising that I didn't notice any difference with such a small decrease. I have had annual (free) hearing tests since then and now ready to try an advanced hearing aid which may help with my current hearing loss which has progressed enough to make sense to try one out.”

“Dr. Leah Ball went above and beyond in helping my 84yr old mother, my only disappointment is not finding her much sooner.”

“My daughter is a patient at Richmond Hearing Doctors. She is a young adult with a lifelong hearing loss. She struggled to find an audiologist who understands her hearing needs and the difficulties of maintaining reliable hearing aids on a budget. All of the members of this office have been extraordinarily kind and understanding. I can’t begin to thank them enough for their efforts to help her, their patience and compassion while working with my daughter. The doctors and staff of this organization go above and beyond to help their clients. ”

“Always easy to reach on phone when have questions, is a little bit of a drive, but have had wonderful experence w/ office visits. they are very understanding, patient, and helpful.”

“My experience has been positive in every way; friendly reminders via phone, welcoming greeting upon entering and comfortable waiting room. Leah Ball is not only professional and knowledgeable but gracious ,patient and supportive. Getting help for my hearing was a big step for me.....She made sure the devices were comfortable and and addressed my loss. I'm still getting used to them,so she made sure I have followup. As a health care professional myself, I especially appreciate their commitment to their patients!”
