“Karen Glickman has been my audiologist for the past five to six years. She was highly recommended, and I fully understand why. In addition to her warm and friendly personality, she has excellent knowledge in the field of audiology. She was very resourceful in finding the best hearing aids and related products for my individual needs. I was thrilled to receive my hearing aids and to have Karen so patiently explain how to use them. As a senior citizen, I had a lot of questions which were clearly and thoroughly answered. I was also encouraged to call with any additional questions (which I did and felt comfortable doing so.) As a result of my very positive experience with Karen Glickman at Preferred Hearing Center, I am much more confident of my hearing and listening skills. I will gladly recommend her to others.”
