Anna Niemi,
AuD, CCC-A
Audiologist
Having worked nearly twenty years managing finances for various small businesses in Western Massachusetts and Connecticut, Dr. Niemi decided to pursue a new profession where her work would have a more direct impact on the lives of those in the community that she serves.
A native of Massachusetts, she received her Doctoral degree in Audiology from the University of Massachusetts - Amherst in May 2020. Dr. Niemi completed her fourth-year externship with us at Florence Hearing Health Care. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology, Massachusetts Academy of Audiology and the Academy of Doctors of Audiology.

Cassandra Falvey,
AuD, CCC-A
Audiologist
Dr. Falvey has always been drawn to the field of communication sciences and disorders. From the age of nine, her career goal was to become a Speech Language Pathologist. She knew early on that she wanted to help adult patients, and work in a clinical setting. A story similar to many in the field, Dr. Falvey discovered her passion for Audiology when she took her "Intro to Audiology" class in college. At the end of the final class, Dr. Favley knew she had found the career she was meant for. The diagnostic, rehabilitative, and technological aspects of the field called to her, and she knew this was what she wanted to do professionally. She discovered through her graduate studies her passion for providing hearing healthcare, and found a love in helping her patients find the best ways to communicate better.
Dr. Falvey earned her Bachelors' of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders magna cum laude from The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY in May 2015. Dr. Falvey then returned home to Western Massachusetts, and earned her Doctorate in Audiology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in May 2019. She completed her fourth year externship at Baystate Wing Hospital and Medical Centers, where she continued to work and serve patients until joining the team here at Florence Hearing Health Care in March 2022. Dr. Falvey holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-A) from the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association.
Christine Kelley,
AuD, CCC-A
Audiologist
Christine knew she wanted to be an audiologist after volunteering during her time at University of Massachusetts as an undergraduate student in the Communications Disorders department. She saw first hand how hearing loss and hearing aids directly impact peoples' lives and was inspired to help others hear their world and communicate with friends and family. Christine also knows what it is like to live with someone with hearing loss as her husband has worn hearing aids since childhood. The experience of sharing a life with someone with hearing loss gives her a unique perspective of understanding the everyday struggles that can occur when someone has a hearing loss and how it affects their family around them as well.
Dr. Kelley earned her Doctoral degree in Audiology from Washington University in St. Louis. As a student, she was one of a handful of students picked to be a presenter at the student research forum in 2009 at the American Academy of Audiology annual convention. Christine completed her fourth year at New York Eye and Ear in New York City. Christine is originally from Long Island and has lived in Western Mass since 2010. Dr. Kelley holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-A) from the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association. Christine loves cats, spicy foods and exploring western Massachusetts with her husband and two children.

“Florence Hearing Health is top notch for hearing needs. Dr. Nieme is professional, and explains everything. She spends as much time as you need so that you leave with all the knowledge necessary. Would highly recommend this practice.”

“I was born without 100% hearing, and have been noticing that I was having trouble with certain letters (B, C and D - sound alike) and numbers (15 and 50 - sound alike), so I mentioned it to my primary PA and she referred me to these wonderful folks. I had not had my hearing really truly tested since I was a child - regular hearing tests are a joke (I can hear high pitch noise). I saw Dr Falvey and she put me at ease and explained every single step before she did it, explained everything after, she was patient and kind answering any and all questions I had. It was a great experience and I found out things about my ears/hearing I never knew. I highly recommend them and will happily come back again! Thank you :)”

“After several years of denial, I asked my physician for a referral to evaluate the extent of my hearing loss. He suggested Florence Hearing and I was able to meet with Dr. Niemi shortly thereafter. She took great care in characterizing the loss and in learning about the way that I lived before presenting a range of options. Based upon what I felt was important, I was given a "try-out" pair of hearing aids with the suggestion that I use them in as many situations as possible to determine if they were suitable. Dr. Niemi encouraged questions and concerns and she did not waffle in explaining that my hearing would never be restored to that of a 20 year old. She was precise in her manner and always encouraging. I've been using the hearing aids for two months now and they are an inobtrusive part of my daily routine. Its nice to hear birds chirping, doors creaking, and not having to ask people to repeat themselves. This is why I have rated Florence Hearing and Dr. Niemi so highly. ”

“I cannot recommend Florence Hearing Center enough. I brought my mother to have her hearing evaluated and was so impressed by their hearing evaluation and the compassionate care they provided. The staff is so welcoming and treated us like family. Although there are hearing centers closer to home, Florence Hearing provides personal attention that is worth the drive. Highly recommend Florence Hearing Center!! They are the best!”

“I am a long time hearing aid user and the care that was shown to me in selection of the best bi-cross for me was excellent. The follow-up visit was meticulous. I have not had such compassionate care since I began using hearing aids. I also second the many comments about the staff and their responsiveness. This is the best plae to go in the Valley for excellent hearing care.”

“I was evaluated for hearing loss and tinnitus by Dr. Niemi. I am so happy I chose this provider. Dr. Niemi walked me through every step from my assessment. She explained the results of my testing, options for next steps, the process for fitting of my hearing aids and provided follow-up calls and a visit. She clearly explained everything and I was at ease going through this new journey in my life. Lastly, I am so pleased that I can hear so much better with my new hearing aids. I can't say enough about Dr. Niemi and the staff at Florence Hearing Health Care Center.”

“I had a previous experience with an audiologist which was totally unsatisfactory. A very good friend recommended Florence Hearing Health Care and the difference in my experience was huge. Everything was carefully explained to me, all my questions were answered directly and completely, and every step in my assessments was fully explained. I was treated with respect, and all the staff listened carefully to all my concerns. ”

“I knew something was going on with my hearing and started searching for a place to get tested. A friend recommended Florence Hearing.I answered some questions on their website and was surprised at the immediate response. The whole process is relaxed and friendly. The appointments are structured with enough time to address all concerns and questions never rushed. No sales pitch,all options are presented and explained in detail. Florence Hearing was an excellent match for me and I highly recommend them. Thank you Dr. Jen”

“Jennifer and team were a pleasure to work with. They were very attentive and explained the whole process and equipment thoroughly in addition to answering all my questions and concerns. After working with them I came away with a good product and a new lease on life. They opened up the world I lost and forgot about with my hearing loss . I highly recommend them. Thank you Florence Hearing”

“I had been in need of "hearing assistance" for years (just ask my wife...) and my primary care doctor referred me to Florence Hearing Health Care. I am so happy they did. In spite of the damper put on everything by the Covid-19 pandemic I got an appointment pretty promptly. The folks there followed all safety protocols. They were warm and welcoming. I proceeded through testing which showed moderate hearing loss and was given the opportunity to try out a set of hearing aids for a couple of weeks. Dr. Niemi did a fantastic job explaining my options and I made my selection. I am very happy with the results and have had my first follow up and fine tuning of my devices. My kudos to Dr. Niemi and Dr. Sowards for taking such good care of my needs. I highly recommend them to others in need of help with their hearing.”

“After attending a free to the public presentation by Dr. Sowards I was sure that I wanted her to assess my hearing loss. I have been met with a level of care, concern, commitment and professionalism like never before! There is virtually no wait time and you are treated like the star patient of the day! All of the attention is on the patient with very few, if any, office distractions. The care provided really is all about the patient! I feel well "heard" and respected. I resoundingly encourage one and all with hearing issues to take advantage of Dr. Soward's expert care.”

“Friendly, thoughtful - she is good at explaining care and operation of my new hearing aids. Plus, she saved me a good amount of money by alerting me to a new option in my health insurance. ”

“I first met Jennifer at the Clarke School and then later in her own practice. She brought me back from the edge of hearing loss. I would recommend her to anyone having trouble with making out what other people are saying, real people or those on TV. Anyway, she is completely professional, which is important, but genuine and friendly, which are even more important.”

“Dr Sowards and her staff are very professional and attentive to your care and satisfaction with any hearing issues that you have. If you are new to having hearing aids they are knowledgeable and experienced in help you choose what you need to have and are understanding of the problems you may encounter. I have had hearing aids for several years and they made the process of getting new ones a positive experience. I would recommend Dr Sowards and her staff at Florence Hearing Health Care to anyone who needs or are contemplating to get hearing aids. ”

“Dr. Sowards and the team at Florence Hearing healthcare are very pleasant to visit. Anna and Dr. Sowards are very professional and courteous with a goal of the patient’s best interests in mind. Being a late 30’s man with hearing issues i was intimidated to take the first step in addressing my issue - Dr. Sowards and team made me feel very comfortable and knowledgeable about my options and thanks to their assistance I have a comfortable hearing aid and can now hear out of both ears!!! My family is happy and I would recommend Florence hearing healthcare to everyone I know!”

“Dr. Jennifer Sowards is professional, skilled, compassionate, respectful and amiable, as is her staff. Dr. Sowards always promptly responded to my needs, and she patiently guided me through the process of adjusting to wearing the hearing aids. Dr. Sowards thoroughly explained every step in the process. My wife and I are so happy that we chose Jennifer Sowards; you will be too!”

“My husband, (Jenniifer's client), and I, his wife, are impressed by her sincere concern for his hearing challenges. She answers questions thoroughly, taking considerable time to do so, thus allowing us a better understanding of the complexities of his hearing challenges. Jennifer's clearly mapped out program for testing and diagnosing, providing and selling is a big asset. Her follow up appointments demonstrate equally conscientious care: she isn't satisfied until her client is. For that to happen she listens and assesses carefully, trying and tweaking appropriately. Jennifer is both warm and animated in her interaction with clients.”

“I found Jennifer Sowards to be incredibly patient and thorough. She worked with me until we could find the best results. I am very happy with my hearing aids. I had had a bad experience elsewhere and thought my situation was a bit hopeless but Jennifer helped me find the right devices for my situation. I appreciate the fact that she has some hearing loss herself and can totally understand what you are going through.”

“It’s unusual to go to a clinical appointment and leave delighted, but that’s what happened on multiple visits to Dr. Jennifer Sowards at Florence Hearing Health Care. I was anxious prior to my first visit but Dr. Sowards put me at ease with her keen sense of humor and obvious great expertise. At follow up, I was again impressed with the wonderfully helpful staff and the state of the art equipment. I can recommend Dr. Sowards and the Florence Hearing Health Center without reservation. I am delighted to hear well again! William J. H., MD ”

“My hearing impairment was detected in the 1980’s, but audiologist’s at that time could not recommend a solution. Hearing aids were purchased in 1992, and again in 1998 with improved, but limited hearing quality. After relocating far from the providing audiologist, I had poor experience with the audiologists approached for hearing aid repair and adjustment, so the aids ended up in the night table drawer. Recently, more than 10 years later, thanks to my neighbor’s recommendation, I made an appointment with Dr. Sowards. She is superb. Her receptionist, Nichole is very warm and pleasant. My new hearing aids are very comfortable and the quality of my hearing is much improved. It is the best it has been in 30 years. I highly recommend Dr. Sowards. I give her a five plus rating! ”

“Dr. Sowards is exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful, communicates clearly, openly. As a former engineer I really like to understand the biology, psychology and technology of hearing and hearing aids. Dr. Sowards answered all my questions, including dealing with insurance. Super service. I will recommend her to all my acquaintances, friends and family.”

“I have nothing but praise for Florence Hearing Health Care. I was very concerned when the practice I used for years in Worcester sent me a letter saying they would no longer sell or service hearing aids. Instead, I believe my family and I are receiving a higher level of service than I thought possible. Dr. Sowards is patient, caring, accommodating and welcoming. These things are all particularly important when she is working with my aging in-laws (95 and 99.) And also important as the technology continues to improve which requires patients and practitioners to adapt to new methods and devices. Finally, Nicole who handles the office chores and scheduling, is extremely competent and easy to work with. ”

“Dr. Sowards’ hearing evaluation was both thorough and educational. I saw her for a routine hearing evaluation and hearing protection as I’m hyper sensitive to sound in both ears and pressure in one. Foam and other types of plugs have never worked well, often coming out or muffling speech I needed to hear. As a birder and someone who loves music I’ve always tried to protect my hearing and needed better protection when drumming in a group. Dr. Sowards was accommodating and patient, giving me the time and several adjustments needed to make sure the molds of my attenuators fit perfectly in both ears and would function in a way that would be comfortable while protecting my hearing better. They’re great for drumming and I’ll use them for other activities like movies as well. I wish I’d done this long ago. Thank you Jennifer. ”

“I was reluctant to venture into the realm of hearing aids but was urged by my wife to go for a hearing evaluation. My experience with Dr. Sowards has been totally positive. She is extremely knowledgeable and shows a deep understanding of the equipment that she uses and the corresponding terminology. Her office is run very efficiently with appointment reminders, on-time office visits and a competent receptionist. My hearing evaluation was done thoroughly and I was given a detailed explanation of the results. Consequently I now have hearing aids and am surprised by the things that I had not been hearing before. In a follow up appointment, Dr. Sowards spent considerable time tweaking my hearing aids to be sure that what they were delivering what my hearing evaluation called for. Additionally she spent time adjusting the fit of the aids. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Sowards and her office. It certainly has been a 5-star process for me.”

“Sometimes a hearing test isn’t ‘just a hearing test’. Dr Sowards was very thorough, answered questions I had coming in and any questions that came up during the testing. She went beyond just running a test and giving me results. She explained everything in detail (and I like a lot of detail) and gave me information on how the hearing issues I have may have contributed to other health issues. This is potentially a life changing diagnosis for me, and I can’t stress enough how well I was treated and how my particular history was paid attention to and treated with respect. Thank you doesn’t seem to be adequate in this case.”

“I accompanied my husband to the clinic for a hearing test. He was having trouble understanding me; complaining that I spoke too softly! He was very nervous but Dr. Jennifer Sowards was very kind, giving him a very thorough evaluation. He has had his new aids for two days and is complaining about this noisy world!! The TV is no longer extremely loud! We were both very pleased with her thoroughness and excellent instruction as to the care and use of the aids (which are very tiny and almost invisible BUT are very powerful!) Deciding to get a hearing aid is sometimes a difficult decision to make and can be a little scary. But Dr. Sowards helps make the decision easy. ”

“I noticed I was having difficulty hearing in some situations but hesitant seeking help because I was afraid of choosing an audiologist whose main interest was in selling me hearing aids. Dr. Jennifer Sowards of Florence Hearing Health Care put me at ease. She explained each test and the results. I was then given options of aids to help me hear more clearly. Since my purchase, she has worked with me to make sure I’m getting the best results from the hearing aids I chose. I highly recommend Dr. Sowards at Florence Hearing Health Care for superior care to anyone with a hearing problem”
