“Dr. Moons has an excellent relationship with patient. He doesn’t push hearing aids upon you.”

“Dr Koonz introduced me to a hearing aid named Lyric. I love it! I is almost invisible. It fits completely in the ear canal. I never take it out unless I need an MRI and a hook is provided.to remove it. It is so comfortable that I don’t know I am wearing it. Every six weeks I receive a new one. I pay by subscription. No additional fee for appointments. Parker greets me at the desk. Always wearing a smile and knows my name. He books my next appointment according to my preference before departure. Dr Koonz never makes me wait very long. The appointment is never rushed and engages in pleasant conversation while seating my new hearing aid. My whole time in the office runs about 30 minutes. I actually look forward to my appointments,”

“They are all such lovely people! This is my first time getting a hearing aid without my parents involved and I was expecting to be so confused the whole time. That did not happen at all. The process has been very smooth and everyone is so friendly. ”

He explained my hearing issues as well as my hearing aid options & insurance coverage to me in an understandable way. I am now awaiting the delivery & fitting of the hearing aids. ”

“Very pleased with care from beginning to present. Parker who greets you is very pleasant. Dr.Koonz is very thorough and not rushed. Offered trial of one brand hearing aid but when I was not totally pleased he switched to another brand which is working out perfectly. Worked very closely with my insurance to get the ones I wanted.”

“I am a caregiver to my 65 year-old mother who not has low hearing in both ears, but who also has low vision and vascular dementia as the result of surviving three strokes. The team did not know these details prior to our arrival and yet during her screening and hearing aid pick up, the doctors and staff handled her with the upmost care. Most recently, Dr. Koonz adapted to her needs with patience and positive reassurance as he used repetition and verbal cues to help her properly use her hearing aids. ”

“I am a long-time patient (5+ yrs) and have always been delighted with the treatment/services provided by HBA. They have been responsive to questions and the occasional adjustment/service on my hearing devices, and I have quite recently been pleased to very smoothly transition to the next level of Oticon devices! Highly recommend!”

“I took a chance and moved from an excellent source to HBA and have never regretted it. Their service is outstanding and friendly. If you have a problem, they will see you quickly -- the same or next day. They conduct periodic tests to see how your hearing is changing and to adjust the hearing aids appropriately. They stay aware of your warranty and use it to your advantage. My previous audiologist would say, your hearing aids are almost out of warranty, time to buy new ones. Not HBA.”

“I have always had a good experience at Hearing and Balance Associates. I got my hearing aids there and I have been very satisfied with them. Whenever I’ve needed to go for supplies or to have something fixed, the staff has always been friendly and efficient. Most recently I went in because I felt that something was in my ear. Dr. Koonz found and removed TWO small plastic hearing aid tips. He did this easily and efficiently and was very kind. (I had used the wrong tips, and they just fell off into my ear.) What a relief it was to have that done! ”

“Coming from Chicago where I had the two top of the line audiologists, i must admit I was somewhat leery of getting the same quality person anywhere, not just Tallahassee, but I must say that i was more than pleasantly surprised with the professional and kind approach of Dr. Koonz. I may safely say that I was lucky to get another top of the line audiologist write here in Tallahassee and wholeheartedly recommend him to anybody who is seeking excellent audiology service. ”

“I like Dr. Koonz. He seems to care deeply for his patients. I was in and he suggested to me that he would like to send my hearing aid back to the factory for a health checkup since my warranty would be expiring in four months. I thought that was very admirable on his part to think of his patients in that manner.”

“I had not had my Oticon Hearing Aids checked for more than 1 year. My use of them had been limited because I did not feel they were properly attuned to MY hearing loss. Dr. Koonz took a quick look at the pair of hearing aids and immediately informed me that only 1 of the pair was in working order. The left ear aid was broken and would be sent to Oticon for repair. That would take 1-2 weeks, at a cost to me of $300. Then he informed me that Oticon would NOT REPAIR but would simply REPLACE the left ear aid. I found this to be exactly what I needed so that I would have TWO (2) properly functioning hearing aids and would be better able to watch television and actually hear the verbal part. Knowing that I no longer drive, he took my daughter's telephone number and said he would call her to let her know my "new' hearing aid had arrived so she could pick it up at her earliest convenience. ”

The Dr promptly started the evaluation that was detailed and conducted in a very professional manner. The Dr then equipped me with a demonstration set of hearing aids and went through the evaluation results in detail. The Dr made recommendations on how to move forward that best suited my situation. I was very pleased with everything and would recommend them to my friends. Thanks ”
