“After years of putting off hearing aids and then more years trying to figure out WHERE to go - I am so happy that I recently chose Accent on Hearing in Castle Rock! Dr Sabina Scott tested, evaluated and fitted me with hearing aids that have changed my life! Dr Scott is incredibly knowledgeable and her experience with helping people like me was apparent from the start. No question I've found my hearing experts! Office staff has been very professional and wonderful to work with as well.”

“On receiving a mailer stating a near by free hearing test my daughter made an appointment . I was very pleased to meet the owner and have my test done by her. I was told and shown my results. Was disappointed to find this company was out of my Insurance network.. The test was still free to me - which was a great heart warming to know they are to be trusted greatly. I appreciate all that was done for me. I highly recommend them.. ”

“I have been going to Accent on Hearing since 2014 and I am so grateful to Joanne and her staff for their kindness and professionalism. Being tested and getting my first hearing aids changed my life both physically and socially. I have since referred several of my friends to them as I feel confident they will be treated the same way. Accent on Hearing has been nominated for "Best of the Best" in Castle Rock for many years for the very reasons I have mentioned.”

January 2024 Update - This is a wonderful place to go to have your hearing checked out and if needed, hearing aides ordered. The staff is amazing and extremely knowledgeable and patient with all the questions you might have. Joanne, the Audiologist, is super kind and friendly, and wanting to make sure we covered all the questions, concerns and issues that come up with insurance, the handling of the hearing aides and tweaking the applications to give you the best possible sound from the hearing aides. The front office staff is very pleasant and welcoming. I highly recommend going here for all your hearing concerns.”

“I have been a long time user of hearing aids but my hearing has gotten signifantly worse to the point of now being severe. Joanne tried one pair that didn't work for me. She didn't give up tho' and we tried another brand and seems to be working. She just does not give up...she keeps working and tweeking until finally everything works as much as it can. I will never have good hearing but with Joanne it is the best it can be and that's all I can ask. She's fantastic and oh so patient.”

“Just my bad luck, my Lyric hearing aid batteries ran out right before noon, which is the Accent on Hearing lunch hour. I called the office and Joanne graciously invited me to come in anyway. She replaced my batteries so I could hear all of my upcoming birthday festivities. I was so grateful. Both Joanne and Dr. Martinez are a delight to work with and are both very capable and very kind.”

“I have relocated to Colorado and needed to find a new audiologist to maintain my care. I am so pleased that I found Accent on Hearing! Had my first appointment today and I received all the care and information one could desire. Dr. Martinez was very patient in answering all my questions and she educated me on the exam and what it all meant. Her staff did a great job in doing maintenance on my aids and in explaining how I can preventatively care for them between visits. I will most definitely stay on a regular visit schedule with them.”

“I got the Phonak Lyric hearing aids. They are great but required a fair amount of adjusting at the beginning. Seemed like I was making an appointment every few days and I was amazed that they always got me in right away and took care of the problem. It is also nice that they are right here in our town, about 10 minutes away. The Doctors and staff have always been very easy to work with. Accent on Hearing has been a good experience.”

“This was my first visit with Elizabeth Martinez. I was impressed with the thoroughness of the exam. I have never had a scan of my ears before, which showed I had fluid in both ears. She explained that I needed to see my Dr. to take care of the fluid before we could discuss hearing aids. I have had my current hearing aids adjusted and been retested in the past few months by another audiologist with no improvement. ”
