“Cannot say enough about Arizona Hearing Specialists. Kristy is amazing. Her knowledge and attention to detail is exactly what I needed. After having several less than desirable experiences with other hearing aid providers I was thrilled to learn about my hearing loss and the many options available. The utmost of care was taken using current health care guidelines. Greg was able to assist when I needed a recheck. And Jen.... thank you. Everyone of the audiologist and staff are gifted with both patience, kindness and skill. The education provided was top notch. After many, many years, I am a very happy customer with new hearing aids. Thank you.”
“Today, I met with Dr. Mongelli who activated the T-coil in my Oticon Hearing Aids. She has a terrific personality & it was a joy working with her. All aspects of the T-coil usage were clearly explained. She gets an A++ from me!”
“The wax catcher came out of my hearing aid and lodged inside my ear. I was seen by Janette Mongelli, who is amazing!! She removed not one but 2 wax catchers from my ear. ; also some wax. Janette said that I would need to get a new mold.. (the part that fits in my ear, I wear behind the ears aids) this is the second time this has happened to me, and my mold was out of warranty. Janette contacted the Oticon company and since they still had my impression I did not need a new one, however I needed to pay for the mold. Janette contacted the Oticon representative and the mold will be made complimentary; Arizona Hearing Specialists will refund my payment. Can you believe that? I have always received excellent care at Arizona Hearing Specialists, Janette Mongelli goes above and beyond in service. I hope that Janette stays with Arizona Hearing Specialists for many fruitful, healthy years, and has an amazing career. ”
“While on vacation I encountered an error with one of my hearing aides and called the Arizona Hearing Specialists. They immediately scheduled an appointment with me and the entire staff made me feel like one of there regular patients and not just a guest. Thank you so much!”
“They were very thorough.”
