“The audiologist was professional, efficient, and also personable. Based on my pre appointment questionnaire, she was able to select the hearing tests that would give the most relevant information as to whether I needed adjustments. She did maintenance on my existing hearing aids and I left completely satisfied with the services provided. ”

“A great practice with professional, helpful, and friendly staff. My hearing aids weren't both working with bluetooth. Dr. Patty White fixed this problem right away by downloading a new software update, pairing my hearing aids to each other, and fitting me with smaller ear tips. I hear better than before!”

“My experience with Dr. Brittany Larson at Cary Audiology has been nothing short of exceptional. She has provided excellent professional care from my first appointment. I'm confident that I've received the absolute best hearing evaluation and solution possible. In addition, the clinic staff has always been friendly and efficient. The periodic newsletter that Dr. Rawls sends out is another plus for clinic patients. In summary, I highly recommend Dr. Brittany Larson at Cary Audiology for all your hearing needs. You won't be disappointed.”

“Dr. Susan Rawls is my second audiologist. Her goal is to keep your hearing normal as possible to keep your brain from deteriorating which can occur with hearing loss. She does not want to just sell you a hearing aid. She wants to frequently check that your hearing aid is providing you your best hearing possible.”

“I was referred by a friend of mine who is already a customer of Susan Rawls. Since I was displeased with my existing service I needed a more customer oriented audiologist to meet my needs. Susan and Michelle are top shelf and have provided everything I had hoped for. They are very attentive to my needs and I am extremely pleased. ”

“My first visit with Dr. Lazaro was a real eye opener! She demonstrated what a real audiologist who is excited about her work can do to make my hearing 200% better!! She tweaked settings in my aids that my previous audiologist never mentioned and it has made such a difference in my hearing.”

“At 75 years old, I've been to my share of medical professionals. Dr. Rawls is one of the best. Very knowledgeable, yet explains things in terms I understand. Hearing aids these days are obviously high-tech and she keeps up with the latest technology and can separate the stuff that's important to me from the bells and whistles that I don't need. When I started with Cary Audiology, I lived 3 miles away; I now live 25 miles but the drive is worth it.”

“I have had a hearing problem for over 20 years and when we moved to NC Susan Rawles was recommended to help me in getting new hearing aids. I have been working with Dr. Rawles for more than 7 years and have been extremely happy with her attention to my frustrations. Although she can not preform miracles in restoring my hearing, she has helped in giving me the best hearing I can have. I highly recommend her to anyone needing professional care for their hearing loss. ”

“Cary Audiology has been looking after my hearing for over ten years. The service is excellent. Each year Susan measures my hearing and makes adjustments. She is happy and friendly and spends as much time with me as is needed - no rushing. If I have a minor problem at other times, Rachel happily and efficiently solves the problem. When I enter the waiting room, Michelle greets me. And if I need supplies, she provides them. Also, the wait time is usually short, but there is coffee and a number of magazines and a newspaper to look at while waiting. ”

“Just start wearing hearing aids due to previous military service. Dr. Lazaro is a joy to work with. I have never met a more pleasant person to be around and have provide service to me. The whole experience is five star. The process and plan for providing service, as far as I am concerned, is well beyond my expectations. Cary Audiology and Dr. Lazaro are the gold standard of medical service providers.”

“I came to Cary Audiology because they had worked with my father near the end of his life and dramatically improved his quality of life by helping him learn to successfully use hearing aids. I find the team to be easy to work with, and I like that that seem to work hard to adapt to each patient's needs, interests, way of learning, etc. to make the experience as "frictionless" as possible. I look forward to a long and successful patient relationship with Cary Audiology.”

“I have been wearing a hearing aid for close to 20 years. I cant say how disappointed I am that I didnt visit Cary Audiology years ago. They provide a comprehensive exam, explain precisely what they are doing and why, and most importantly, improved my hearing immensely! I am hearing sounds that I havent heard in a very long time. If you believe you need hearing assistance or your hearing aid is ineffective, this is the place to go! ”

“I have been a patient for 6 years and still come back for all of my testing and hearing aid needs, even though I now live in Massachusetts and travel extensively. Susan and her team have provided the finest testing, selection and fitting of device, follow up adjustments and repair service I could ever expect. Truly professionals and also very nice people. I highly recommend Cary Audiology to anyone who has hearing loss. I love my hearing aids and would be very debilitated without them.”

“Susan Rawls is the most dedicated and empathetic health care provider I have ever encountered. She fitted me with a "cross" hearing aid system that has been totally effective and has nearly enabled me to completely forget about the hearing experience of losing all the hearing in my left ear. Her "after care" is amazing. ”

“I very much appreciate the time and friendly atmosphere here. I’ve seen both doctors and they both make me feel as though I’m their only interest at the time. We’ve all problems solved and joked but the end result is I hear better now. My hearing loss is sensorineural. I have a BTE device and a BAHA. I’m not easy. I’m young. I love these ladies!”

“What a wonderful experience. Everyone was friendly and professional. I never felt rushed through the process. Dr. Rawls was attentive to every detail. I felt I was in very competent hands. I can't believe what a wonderful experience this has been. I enjoy my hearing aids and wished I had gotten them sooner. Thanks Dr. Rawls”

“Susan Rawls, my audiologist at Cary Audiology, could not have been more understanding and professional. She took a lot of time testing me, making sure what I could hear and what I had difficulty with. I am an 80 year old professional business consultant and always felt there was not anything I could not do or overcome if I put my mind to it. I believed that having a hearing aid would make me look less sharp. I was wrong. They don't come any more professional and understanding than Cary Audiology. ”

“Thank you for allowing me to express my experience at Cary Audiology. "The very best". I could write a book about hearing aid dealers and and the lies and promises they tell you just to get your money. I went to Cary Audiology with a lot of apprehension and ended up finding a very honest, straight up, business. No lies, no bull, just the honest facts. Walked out with hearing aids that worked and no pressure if they don't work, bring them back, we will make them right to take them back. I have been a customer for five wonderful years. I don't have to say "what did you say?" anymore. These people are the very, very best. I love these honest people. Is a truly wonderful experience to go back and get batteries, etc. I wish there was a box for a 10, super service. Hope you can understand my script, I'm 80 years old and my hearing is now 100% with my phones. ”

Strongly recommend Cary Audiology Associates. ”

“I began seeing Dr. Rawls when she was at Raleigh ENT about 8 to 10 years ago. She is the greatest. The whole office and others have always been pleasant and helpful. Over the years Dr. Rawls, Susan, has become a friend and my wife is also her patient and thinks the highest of everyone as well. I do not think anyone could do better than to rely on Cary Audiology as they are competent, thorough, thoughtful, and friendly!”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Susan Rawls for approximately two years. I was referred to Dr. Rawls by a friend after a rather unpleasant experience with another audiology practice. I'm grateful for the referral to Cary Audiology. Upon arrival, for my initial appointment, I was pleasantly greeted by Administrative Assistant, Michelle Hardin. Michelle is adept at putting you at ease and making you feel comfortable. Dr. Rawls performed my testing and assessment in a friendly and professional manner. The results of my examination and recommended protocol of treatment was explained to me in language I could understand, embrace, and feel comfortable with; and, as a result, I had no problem moving forward toward addressed my hearing loss. Working with Dr. Rawls over the past couple of years, I am most satisfied with the continuing care that I am receiving; Dr. Rawls genuinely cares for her patients. It would be my pleasure to recommend Cary Audiology anytime. I feel certain that anyone who chooses Cary Audiology for their hearing needs will be nicely greeted by Michelle and be pleased with their experience.”
