“Lemme Audiology is the very best in all aspects of hearing care. I recently saw Dr Lemme, and she was awesome. She takes the time to answer any questions you may have, and explains your results. The entire staff are all friendly, welcoming, and make you feel comfortable. Excellent services !”

“I have just been fitted for my third set of hearing aids by Dr Karen Lemme. Before my first set with Lemme Audiology I spent quite some time with an independent dealer with very poor results. From the outset Dr. Lemme was excellent! She determined my problem, what my loss was and the best aid to fit me with for everyday life. Any time I had a question or issue Lemme Audiology was on top of fixing the issues. I can't imagine going anywhere else and have recommended Lemme Audiology to a number of people, all of whom had a great experience there. Definitely number one in my book!”
