Adept Audiology - Lakewood Ranch

“I received my Starkey hearing aids about 2 months ago. The entire staff has been very helpful and professional. Adept continued to see me every 2 weeks until I felt comfortable with the quality of my hearing. I know they will be there for me for any problem or concern that I might have. ”

“I’ve just had my follow up visit after getting my new hearing aids. The only thing better than my new Starkeys are the crew at Adept hearing. I’ve worn hearing aids for over 11 years and the new ones are very good. The service is great with very knowledgeable and helpful staff. ”

“Grace tested me, as requested, and provided very helpful information. I have been completely satisfied with this practice,”

“ Technology problems with my hearing aids led me to decide to place them on a road and drive back and forth over them. But first I called Adept, made an appointment with Larsen. He listened, fixed the problems and provided me with hard copy for dealing with possible future issues. Great service. Thank you Larsen.”

“I have had Adept Audiology support my hearing needs for the last four years and I have the utmost trust in all of the individuals who treat my hearing needs. I absolutely recommend Adept Audiology to anyone who needs excellent hearing care. *December 2024 Update - As always the staff at Adept Audiology is outstanding. Their service is excellent as they are always very professional and knowledgeable with respect to my hearing aids. I have been working with the Adept Audiology team for over three years and have been very impressed with their ability to achieve the highest level of my hearing needs.”

“Just needed a repair to my hearing aids, they updated the firmware, gave me new filters to try, and checked my ears for wax. I was in and out in a half hour, and they only charged me $50 for the office visit and informed me that my warranty on my hearing aids was valid for 5 years. Very professional service and I would recommend them.”

“I have been wearing hearing aids for 6 years. I was in need for new ones as my old ones were no longer working well for me. Also, I was told that my hearing was probably as good as it was going to be and a possible next step was a cochlea ear implant. I was quite upset hearing that. I was recommended to Adept by a good friend who got her hearing aids at Adept. I was greeted by a very friendly office staff when I arrived. I thought the hearing test given was excellent, very extensive. Dr. Spinks was assigned to me as my audiologist. She explained the results of the tests to my husband and myself. We felt she did a thorough job with her explanations. We also looked at various styles of hearing aids. She helped me choose the one she felt were the best ones for me. I never got the feeling that my hearing couldn't be improved. My hearing is better already. Dr. Spinks assured me she will "tweek" them until I am happy with them. THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME! ”

“Organized, professional, and friendly. Dr. Steed and her colleagues bent over backwards to ensure my understanding and satisfaction.”

“Very professional and knowledgeable staff.”

“If you are looking for a great audiologist and her team, give Dr. Lyndsey Bride and her group a try at Lakewood Ranch - Adept Audiology 11041 Gatewood Drive Lakewood Ranch, FL 34211 I have been a patient of this group for close to 10 years, and I have appreciated all that they do for me. As I have aged, my hearing has deteriorated, but with the help I get at Adept, I am hearing as well as could be expected. From Cheri at the front desk to Ashley and others assisting Dr Bride, everyone works with a smile on their faces, and my hearing as their goal. I will never hear like I did when I was young, but they have me hearing extremely well. I meet with them at least once a year to check on my hearing and make minor adjustments as they are needed. Other than the cost of the hearing aids, the visits are usually covered by Medicare. I highly recommend the services at Adept Audiology.”

The reason I selected Lyndsey was several years ago she had volunteered for free hearing test at Desoto Palms Assisted Living Community where my mother was living and while I was visiting my mother, I asked her if she would test my hearing. She did and told me that my hearing was very good and not requiring hearing aids at that time. From that, I felt that she was a very honest and as I aged my choice was easy so I went to her for help.

Lyndsey is very knowledgeable, great sense of humor, works well with a reluctant client and completely won me over. Oh, and my Oticom's are updated with much more refined and nuance settings.”

Doctor and staff spend all the time one needs to answer questions and solve any problems that may arise. I look at little things with a critical eye since I was a practicing physician in another profession and ran multiple offices for over 40 years. As a first time wearer, the hearing aids I purchased are of excellent quality and have been easy to adjust to under various sound environments. Pricing was less than I expected for the quality of the hardware and the exceptional service provided. ”

“Very Professional Front Office Audiology Assistant. Great Team Environment. Doctor helped with my very stubborn father, who should have wore hearing aids for the past 10 years. Her Prices were better than the Clinics in the surrounding area. She had the bedside manners of an angel. Dad can now hear, this has saved my mom and dad's marriage, and they are Both much happier and all us kids have so much faith in Dr. Lyndsey Nalu and her Audiology Assistant Eve”

“My Insurance recommended Lyndsey Nalu of Adept Audiology when I called them for a referral. Lyndsey conducted an in depth interview and got to know me well before proceeding to a thorough testing. Finally she offered me several choices at half the prices of my doctor recommended audiologist and also advised me where I might comparison shop to check out her recommendations. Lyndsey is committed to customer satisfaction, knowledgeable about the pros and cons of each approach, and patient during encounters. She wants to make certain that every question is thoroughly answered and the patient's needs are met. I highly recommend her for her professionalism and caring. My primary care physician had previously recommended another audiologist who turned out to be nothing but a hearing aid saleswoman who was perfunctory in her interview, limited in her testing, and expensive in her quotation. I'm happy that I looked further and found Adept Audiology.”

“After being frustrated with asking people to repeat what they said to me, by these same people responding "never mind," I finally decided to find out if it was them or me. Made an appointment with Adept Audiology, and it was the best decision I made. Dr. Lyndsey and her assistant Eve were professional, patient with all my questions and extremely kind. They are a family owned business and treat you like family. If you are not sure, like I was, I feel you will be happy when you give them a call.”

“Not being aware of my hearing loss prior to my visit with Lyndsey Nalu , felt that her professional handling of explaining everything to me , made my decision to use Adept Audiology an easy choice. I can highly recommend her to others. ”
