“I have needed help with technical--making bluetooth work and using app to its full extent; Ken has been patient in working with me. I was initially fitted by Audra and found her also knowledgeable and helpful. Sandra in office is always helpful and caring. *JULY - 2025 UPDATE - Always treated respectfully and my needs are individually noted and met. No question is too simple, Ken and Sandra in the office are helpful every time.”

“American Audiology in Shawnee Mission… Yes, your audiologist is a major factor in having your hearing aids tuned properly to your hearing needs. Ken’s credentials are impressive. He recommends options to your hearing loss and fits you with the best products on the market to fit your budget. I have profound hearing loss. Ken has put me in what I would describe as the closest possible thing to my natural hearing before my hearing loss. I could have spent less or I could have spent more, but he put me in a set that was affordable & tuned just right. From education and experience reviewing your hearing test he knows what bests suits your needs and makes “hearing clearly again” a wonderful thing!!”
