Clayton Audiology

“I have been more than pleased with Clayton Audiology. All the staff have been top notch to deal with. I was reluctant to try hearing aids because I had heard the adjustment period could be somewhat challenging. Thankfully I have found that not to be the case. Yes, there is an adjustment period; however, it’s very short and you will wonder why you put off addressing your hearing loss for so long. The staff at Clayton Audiology will fit you with the right devices and do their best to ensure they do their job to enhance your quality of life. ”

“Staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything that was done was explained to me and how things effected my hearing loss. Looking forward to getting my hearing aid ”

“Since I have been coming to Clayton audiology it has been very helpful to me as a veteran, lessened my travel time to Durham Va. Jill at the front desk is so sweet, helpful, personable and ever so patient with us. Dr. Palmer and Dr. Thornton are professional, patient ”

“I stopped in here by chance that someone could help me with pairing my Widex hearing aids to my android phone. I thought that at least I could make an appointment, but to my surprise, they told me to take a seat and someone would help me shortly. Meagan Thornton paired my hearing aids and even gave me written instructions on how to pair them. I was also given the phone number for Widex customer service if needed. What wonderful service and professional people. Clayton Audiology will be my audioloists in the future ”

“I have been going to Melissa Palmer for 4 years. She is an excellent Audiologist and has maintained my hearing aide, and always answers questions. ”

“Very helpful and friendly staff looking forward getting my hearing aid ”

“The best experience ever. Dr. Palmer and her entire staff are wonderful. From the moment you enter their office you are welcomed as though you are home. They are so professional , knowledgeable and very thorough when evaluating your hearing needs. My hearing needs were evaluated and the hearing aids are perfect for me. The followup visits after the fitting ensure that all is ok with the hearing devices you were fitted with. ”

“After decades of acoustical self-abuse my hearing had degraded to the point where I had inadvertently resorted to lip reading. Superfluous mask mandates during covid made it impossible to communicate. Dr. Palmer showed great patience in helping me find a solution for my hearing loss which would fit my lifestyle. I can now participate in conversations in crowded rooms and I am no longer asking people to repeat themselves. I'm rough on my hearing aids and Jill has been a master at keeping them in operation. I would definitely recommend Dr. Palmer and Clayton Audiology for anyone who suffers from hearing loss.”

“We are new to the area and was referred to Clayton Audiology by a neighbor. We were so pleased with the entire staff. Jill was amazing through greeting and paperwork, Christine went above and beyond with checking us out after appointment. Dr Thornton was extremely helpful and pleasant through the testing and options moving forward. Wonderful atmosphere and very welcoming. Would highly recommend.”

“We were referred to Clayton Audiology by a neighbor after just moving to the area and in need of an audiology office. Dr. Meagan Thornton met with both my wife and me. The testing performed was thorough and her review of the results was top shelf. Our experience from the starting line (staff) to the finish line (Dr. Thornton) was "best-in-class". Strongly recommend! ”

“This crew has grown! The audiologists and specialists here have more than doubled and have taken care of my hearing needs for almost eight years with professionalism and excellence. If you have any audiology needs at all, they will give you the care you deserve. Thank you ladies!”

“Clayton Audiology helped me get my new high tec hearing aids through VA. They did everything for me and far quicker than I could have imagined. Over the years they have continued to take care of all my needs. Very friendly and professional. I LOVE THEM. Thank you both.”

“It's such a privilege these days to find a place of any type business that makes you feel welcome and interested in helping you out . Being hearing impaired is such a diffrent path for every individual , but Jill and Dr Palmer have the gift and experience of making you feel like your the only person that matters at the moment your there .”

“Clayton Audiology made custom ear plugs for me to prevent swimmers ear. The off the shelf brand didn’t work for me. Dr. Palmer and staff are very professional, explained the procedure to make my ear plugs and assisted in every step. I’ve been extremely pleased with their service and recommend them to many swimmers.”

“The staff and doctors are wonderful! ”

“My husband and I went in to see Dr.Thornton to have his hearing evaluated. He walked out wearing a set of hearing aids for a 30 day free trial. Wearing those hearing aids has literally been life changing for both of us. Jill, at front desk was so welcoming and helpful. Dr. Thornton was so extremely patient. Explaining to us and stepping us through each step of the evaluation.And carefully going over the results with us. Very knowledgeable in her field and easy to work with. I would rate higher, if I could. ”

“Dr. Palmer and her entire staff are everything one could hope for in a health provider. From the moment you walk in the door until you exit, you are met with sincere smiles, concern for your well being and professional expertise. The staff each listen carefully to your needs, patiently answer your questions and perfectly tailor your audiological solution to a completely effective and satisfying result. I can’t think of a single improvement that would make a visit to Clayton Audiology any better, whether your visit is for first time testing to determine your level of need for hearing assistance or a return check-up for maintenance and adjustment to your current condition. Always a pleasant experience that leaves you smiling, confident and relaxed. ”

“Dr Melissa Palmer is wonderful. We had to get my mother special ear mold so her hearing aids would stay in place. They she did a great job. She also explained why she's still having difficulty with them. Do to a separate tube issue. We're now going to see an ENT to get medical advice. Everyone is always happy and we're well taken care of. We do often need to leave a message, but this is very understandable and calls are returned promptly. This is my mother's 3rd audiologist, due to moving and by far the best we've seen. ”

“I knew I had some hearing loss especially if there is a lot of noise it’s difficult to focus. I work in Surgery so hearing is very important. I saw Meagan her 4th year grad student. She performed a hearing test and explained everything to me beforehand of what to expect. Afterwards she sat down and went over my results. She was so patient and knowledgeable about everything. Not sure I am quite ready for hearing aids but I will continue to follow up and once I decide I won’t go anywhere else but Clayton Audiology! The whole office is very nice. From the front desk to check out everyone put my mind at ease. I highly recommend this practice if you even have the slightest loss of hearing!”

“Dr. Palmer and her staff are exceptional caring, knowledgeable and supportive people. I knew I needed hearing devices because I was constantly say “Huh” and I missed many conversations. Dr. Palmer was not pushing me to purchase the hearing aids. They let you try them out for 30 days and asked how i did. I knew right away that these aids were what I needed. Jill worked with our insurance company to find out what our insurance covered and I was pleasantly surprised to what our insurance company was willing to pay. So now I can hear my children and grandchildren talking to me and I can hear the characters in the movies. I love them and glad my neighbor recommended Clayton Audiology to me.”

Melissa and her staff are patient focused and go above and beyond to do what is needed. **October 2024 Update** Melissa and her staff are excellent to work with.

“I’ve had a hearing loss since I was a toddler many decades ago and have tried hearing aids unsuccessfully many times. I approached my appointment at Clayton Audiology sceptical, but with an open mind. They were very welcoming and patient in explaining not only test results but also hearing aid options and programming associated with them. Never felt rushed during appointments and staff, including the receptionist, were a joy to talk with. Took a systemic and logic approach to introducing me to new hearing aids, their technology, and programming them to establish a baseline and so that they were not overwhelming. A few months later, so far so good.”

She took time to discuss all my questions and concerns. I didn’t feel like I was rushed like you get with many other doctors. She took time to explain my unique type of hearing loss. I have been wearing hearing aids for over a year and the difference is incredible. I have gone back to Dr. Palmer several times for check ups. Each time the visit has been pleasant; no waiting around well past your appointment time only to get 10 minutes of face time with the doctor. She is always on time and I have never felt rushed. Highly recommended ”
