“Dr. Eric has helped me learn, adjust, understand, and encourage me to wear my hearing aides for the last six plus years. Every time I have a problem, he is there to help and solve my problem! I couldn't have had a more knowledgeable doctor with patience to help me to learn to hear! He is never in a hurry and takes the time to develop a relationship to understand me as his patient. I am grateful for Dr. Linert!”

“This hearing center has a great reputation for caring about any and all who step through their doors. The Therapy (Rigby) dog is an added plus! He gives a calming to the office that not very many offices have. All the office staff treat you like a friend not a client.”

“Dr Eric Linert was never in a hurry, when it came to discussing my hearing loss. He even gave me two separate hearing test, when I told him on my return visit to be fitted for hearing aids. My hearing had miraculously returned in my left ear to what it was before the hearing loss. (Praise the Lord!!) Since I have not heard anything out of my right ear for many years, Dr Eric got excited that with the right volume I could hear with it clearly. He customized a hearing aid to fit my right ear and now I enjoy surround sound! What a wonderful feeling it is to be able to hear and actually know where the sound is coming from. Dr Eric is a credit to his profession. He is patient and kind. He understood exactly what I was going through since he wore a hearing aide himself. I believe that makes him a better doctor. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a hearing aide. May God richly bless him for the help his is able to give to those with hearing loss. ”
