“We highly recommend Dr Shari Norval. Such kindness in her and her staff.”

“First time hearing aids wearer. Dr. Norval and her intern provided in depth and easy to understand directions on how to wear the hearing aids, clean them and utilize the phone app. I liked their instruction approach; the technician would demonstrate a procedure with one of the hearing aids and then you completed the same with the second hearing aid. Much better retention of details than just observing. Loved the hearing aids right out of the box. Such a big improvement. 3-4 months following the initial session, a follow-up was given to address any questions and instruct on additional care of the aids. The one-on-one assistance was very helpful for an older individual new to using hearing aids.”

“We just moved to Missouri, and I was having problems with my hearing aids. Since returning to the company that prescribed them was not an option, I made an appointment with Dr. Shari Norval at Discover Audiology - Springfield. Dr. Norval was able to access my records online and patiently listened to the issues I was experiencing. She corrected the original programming for tinnitus that was improperly configured and added another program to help me navigate noisy environments. I am experiencing a huge improvement in my ability to hear and can now adjust my hearing aids to my environment. A huge thank you to Dr Norval and her hearing technician.”

“Dr. Norval is a consummate professional! She is extremely skilled, accomplished, and has the highest degree of professionalism. My wife and I had realized for some time that we needed help with our hearing. Her clients’ online positive reviews encouraged us to make appointments at her hearing clinic. We left the clinic with state-of-the-art hearing aids that have improved our quality of life. We now enjoy conversations and group gatherings and have greatly reduced our “Huhs?”at home! We are grateful to Dr. Norval and appreciate her kind, helpful guidance in our adjustment to our new hearing aids! ”

Dr. Norval also counsels and provides custom hearing protection. 

When Should You Have a Baseline Hearing Evaluation? Just like other health screenings, it's a good idea to have a baseline hearing evaluation by age 60-or even earlier.

What is the Impact of Hearing Loss on an Individual? Individuals with even a mild hearing loss are three times more at risk of experiencing unexpected, injury-causing falls. We hear with our brains, so untreated hearing loss can lead to cognitive difficulties and increase the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s.

What is a Diagnostic Hearing Evaluation? A hearing exam to measure your ability to hear, but understanding your medical history and the social effects of hearing loss is just as important.
