Very professional service and I would recommend them.”

Also, I was told that my hearing was probably as good as it was going to be and a possible next step was a cochlea ear implant. I was quite upset hearing that. I was recommended to Adept by a good friend who got her hearing aids at Adept. I was greeted by a very friendly office staff when I arrived. I thought the hearing test given was excellent, very extensive. Dr. Spinks was assigned to me as my audiologist. She explained the results of the tests to my husband and myself. We felt she did a thorough job with her explanations. We also looked at various styles of hearing aids. She helped me choose the one she felt were the best ones for me. I never got the feeling that my hearing couldn't be improved. My hearing is better already. Dr. Spinks assured me she will "tweek" them until I am happy with them. THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME! ”

Doctor and staff spend all the time one needs to answer questions and solve any problems that may arise. I look at little things with a critical eye since I was a practicing physician in another profession and ran multiple offices for over 40 years.

“Very Professional Front Office Audiology Assistant. Great Team Environment. Doctor helped with my very stubborn father, who should have wore hearing aids for the past 10 years. Her Prices were better than the Clinics in the surrounding area. She had the bedside manners of an angel. Dad can now hear, this has saved my mom and dad's marriage, and they are Both much happier and all us kids have so much faith in Dr. Lyndsey Nalu and her Audiology Assistant Eve”

“My Insurance recommended Lyndsey Nalu of Adept Audiology when I called them for a referral. Lyndsey conducted an in depth interview and got to know me well before proceeding to a thorough testing. Finally she offered me several choices at half the prices of my doctor recommended audiologist and also advised me where I might comparison shop to check out her recommendations. Lyndsey is committed to customer satisfaction, knowledgeable about the pros and cons of each approach, and patient during encounters. She wants to make certain that every question is thoroughly answered and the patient's needs are met. I highly recommend her for her professionalism and caring. My primary care physician had previously recommended another audiologist who turned out to be nothing but a hearing aid saleswoman who was perfunctory in her interview, limited in her testing, and expensive in her quotation. I'm happy that I looked further and found Adept Audiology.”

“After being frustrated with asking people to repeat what they said to me, by these same people responding "never mind," I finally decided to find out if it was them or me. Made an appointment with Adept Audiology, and it was the best decision I made. Dr. Lyndsey and her assistant Eve were professional, patient with all my questions and extremely kind. They are a family owned business and treat you like family. If you are not sure, like I was, I feel you will be happy when you give them a call.”

“Not being aware of my hearing loss prior to my visit with Lyndsey Nalu , felt that her professional handling of explaining everything to me , made my decision to use Adept Audiology an easy choice. I can highly recommend her to others. ”
