It's been several nights since my visit, and I'm delighted to say that I am now sleeping all night and have less detraction during the day. I can't say enough about Dr. Fike's professionalism and easy manner in which he helped me. It was worth the three hour trip. ”

““Grateful” Is the word I would use to describe my experience with Dr. Fike! I’ve been wearing different types of hearing aids for the past 22 years. You name it, I’ve done it when it comes to hearing. On Friday, December 15, one of my hearing aids stopped working. To my surprise, when I explained my situation to him, he immediately made an appointment for me on Saturday. What a blessing! I’m now hearing better with my new hearing aids than I’ve heard in decades. I can’t truly explain in words what it means to hear things that you thought you would never hear again. For this I will be forever grateful! Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with him. He changed my life for the better, and he can do the same for you!”
