“My experience from beginning to end was exceptional. The minute I walked in the door I was greeted and assisted. Dr. Terry asked about my concerns and preceded with an exam, hearing test on myself and hearing aids with such precision. I was amazed of multiple suggestions for the results of the quality and clarity of hearing when she finished. After finding the clarity I was looking for, she set up a follow up appointment
if needed to be tweaked. I would recommend Dr Terry highly.

“Friendly and professional environment. Options and benefits of new hearing aides explained very well. Highly recommend to others looking for an Audiologist.
Oct 2025 Update - Dr. Terry and her staff are very friendly and efficient. My appointment was a follow up to the original fitting. Due to an excellent original hearing aide fitting, there were no issues or adjustments needed at the 3 month follow up. I recommend Broadwater Hearing to anyone looking for a fantastic audiologist with a friendly staff”

“Always a pleasant visit, never any pain. Dr. Terry makes sure my hearing aids are working well and brings them ep to date with the latest updates. Also provides a questionnaire that asks question about satisfaction or not, and makes corrections as necessary. Very often offers tips to satisfy some issues. She is delightful. Usually in and out in less under 15 minutes. No long waits.”

“Broadwater Hearing Care in St. Petersburg gives excellent, kind, and patience care for those of us struggling with hearing loss.
For example: I was not hearing in one ear. Dr. Terry looked at my hearing aid and say, “The… is broken but it will just take a minute
to fix. Let me also check your ears.” She found a wax encrusted dome in one ear, and a more recent lost dome in the other. She removed both, painlessly, and gave me a lesson on how to keep that from happening again.
That is the definition of care, of going beyond what was asked or expected. The Broadwater Hearing office is located at 4107 5th Avenue North in St. Pete. The phone number is (727) 369-8263.

“From past experiences with other audiologists and trial hearing aids I was convinced I would never be able to wear hearing aids because of my small, twisty ear canals. Then a friend of mine recommended Broadwater Hearing Care where she got her hearing aids. Dr Terry set me up with a pair of hearing aids that are so comfortable I forget I have them in my ears and I can actually hear so much better. I have to constantly tell my husband "please turn the volume down." Dr. Terry is very professional, knowledgeable, caring, etc, etc I can't say enough nice things about her. She is wonderful and she is always just an email or phone call away if you need help or have any questions. Her receptionist/office manager, Karen is very caring, kind and helpful. I am so happy my friend recommended Broadwater Hearing Care.”

“I called and got an appointment with Dr. Susan Terry at Broadwater Hearing the next day to adjust my hearing aids, remove ear wax and buy some supplies. Dr. Terry listened to my concerns and was able to make the necessary adjustments. Karen, the office manager, was also very helpful and very pleasant. Thank you both for helping me. I can hear a lot better this afternoon without asking for someone to repeat what they just said. I highly recommend this office for your hearing test and the purchase of your hearing aides and supplies. ”

“I recently moved to St. Pete from Orlando and have been making a "not so much fun" search for new doctors near me. After some time I finally found my internist but also needed to find an audiologist. She immediately referred me to Dr. Susan Terry. I was a little anxious about the idea of needing a hearing aid and hoped it was not necessary but my daughter assured me it was ABSOLUTELY necessary!
Dr. Terry spent time with me and led me through the process. She was
very caring and competent and when I walked out of her office I was wearing my hearing aids and felt very secure in her hands. She stressed the fact that she was always available to me and to call her any time for any reason, no matter how small. That was over a month ago and now I actually forget about them except I can hear the world around me. I can even hear my turn signal blinker in my car and I am sure everybody driving behind me also appreciates Dr. Terry.
Thank you, Dr. Terry, for being the BEST at what you do and for your very pleasant "bedside manner" and, of course, for your very knowledgeable and helpful assistant Karen. You two make a great team!”
