A&E is named after her sons, who she enthusiastically describes as her “proudest accomplishments.” Dr. Elliot is passionate about her patients, her employees, and her community.

Why I Became an Audiologist:
“I initially started as an undergraduate in Speech and Audiology but realized fairly early that I received immense joy from working with people with hearing loss. I founded A&E Audiology with the goal of being able to bring quality audiology services to people in Lancaster County. My mission is to keep challenging myself and my staff to provide the best quality of care in a warm and compassionate environment!” ~Dr. Elliot

“This is my second pair of hearing devices. I am pleased with the quality of them and also the quality of the care I was given at your office.
Every one was so friendly and very helpful. One comment, the price was too steep.”

“The staff was really nice, helpful and informative. The day I picked up my hearing aids it was my birthday and they all made a point of saying happy birthday and even sang the birthday song when I was checking out. They are amazing people and I would not go anywhere else for my hearing needs. They made the process so easy and simple. Thank you all for your help and for making my birthday a little special. ”

“My centurion mother suddenly could not hear—which is a crisis as she assumes the battery needs replacing, and opens pack after pack of batteries trying to fix her hearing aid. We saw A&E of Lititz staff within 2 hours of the problem, they cleaned her ears and the hearing aid (wax in the ear canal problem again). They were wonderful to her, very professional and caring. ”

“Excellent and professional. I love that they are involved in outreach to help those lacking hearing aids. But as important is that they have shown me through the 10 years I’ve been going to A&E how much they care about each patient. That’s why I will spend the extra time to travel 45 mins to their office when I could go to an audiologist just 7 minutes from my home. ”

Anton S. of Landisville, PA 09/10/2019 Review submitted online
“My hearing has been bad for as long as I can remember. Even as a kid I struggled to hear words. Background noise has been a particular challenge for me. For these reasons as well as because I have other hearing aids that did not help me hear any better where there is a lot of background noise, I came to A&E not at all sure they would be any better. I agreed to try their hearing aids because of their 30 day return with full refund policy. From the first day I wore them, I was hearing sounds I absolutely could not hear before. I found out we have noisy ceiling fans in our house and now hear noises in the machinery at work that I did not hear before. My world has become much noisier than it used to be. With my other hearing aids I did not wear them all the time because I felt they often did not help me hear what I wanted to hear. With these hearing aids, most days, I put them in as soon as I get up.”
Steven C. of Ephrata, PA 08/19/2019 Review submitted online
“The reason I rated my experience one star is because the way Dr Kaplan reacted to a complaint about my hearing aids. My wife and I have seen him before and he was very polite. As soon as I disagreed with him he started saying I was rude , he was condesending to me . I contacted DR Eliott and she had Dr. Schmidt take care of everything, I would not go to Dr. Kaplan ever again , I think he needs training in how to handle a customer complaint. ”

“Called the Litiiz office for some things needed for my hearing aids. Was told that the item(wax guards) were on back on back order but they send my batteries right away. As soon as the guards were available they would send them, got my batteries and to my surprise there were some guards, Janie was a great person she found some in the office, I thank Janie very much for her help. Way to go.”

“I really appreciated the thoroughness of the testing that Dr. Elliot and her team completed for me. Not only that, but I was able to work with more than one brand to find the perfect fit for my hearing loss, ultimately finding the best solution with the latest innovations and conveniences. As a musician it was very important to be able to hear the full spectrum of sound and have programs available for day-to-day situations as well as specific music listening environments.
Thanks Dr. Elliot.”

“The place was really nice and the receptionist was nice and very helpful.
The person that was evaluating him for his hearing was really fast with him. She really didn't finish the process, because I guess he was getting up, not fussy, but not sitting down. She was fast. She told me to come back in 6 months. She didn't have no interest in trying to getting him to sit down.”

“I have been a customer of A&E for at least five years. My preferred audiologist (Dr. Kelly) is no longer working now. Yesterday, I had a regular check-up. It was a very different experience from my earlier very satisfying experiences. Yesterday, I felt like I was being hustled to purchase new hearing aids. That was the felt agenda from the moment I entered the office. I did not connect with the new audiologist. She did not take time to get to know me, find out what I do and what my challenges are around hearing, and what my hearing aids needs are at this time of my life. She seemed much more interested in selling me new expensive hearing aids, or a pair of refurbished hearing aids for $3000. I am going to look for a new audiologist closer to home. I want a trained audiologist, but I also want someone who is compassionate and curious about the client.

Official Response from A & E Audiology & Hearing Aid Center - Lititz:
“Dear Reverend Baker,
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your unsatisfactory experience.
You are indeed correct that patient care and treatment requires a connection of trust, confidence, and genuine concern from your audiologist. That is certainly what we expect from each person on our staff, and we are equally disappointed that isn’t what happened in your visit.
The situation you described is not in keeping with our patient/doctor philosophy.
We invite you back to meet with Dr. Kaplan, who enjoys getting to know his patients and would be the ideal audiologist to work with you. I think you will be very satisfied with him. He will give you the personal attention to assess the current status of hearing loss, discuss your concerns and needs, and help you find the solution best for you.
While we do feel it is our obligation to tell patients about new technologies in hearing devices, our foremost concern is what’s right for each patient, not what we can sell. I hope you will reconsider your decision to look for a new audiologist and will call us for an appointment with Dr. Kaplan.
Please ask for me when you call.
Yours sincerely,
Meredith Noll
Patient Care Coordinator

“the visit itself was fine for my father (95 years old). They took his hearing aid with them for cleanup. When I went to get it on Friday the office was closed for a staff meeting.I had told them I was walking up that week (I called on wed) a few miles in Jan to pick up his hearing aid. It would have been a courtesy for them to tell me they were closed on Fri. rather than finding out when I got there. They're closed on weekends and they can't seem to get someone to cross the street to the retirement village to deliver his hearing aid til Feb 18. Very poor customer service. ”

Official Response from A & E Audiology & Hearing Aid Center - Lititz:
“Dear Celeste,
We are so sorry to hear that you had a bad experience on Friday. We have served thousands of Lancaster County residents in our 15 years in private practice, and we strive to create the best possible experience for each of our patients. We do close our office for one day at the beginning of each year to discuss better ways to serve our patients and the community in the year ahead. We post signs in our offices and announcements on Facebook whenever there is a change to our normal business hours, however we understand your frustrations and apologize for the inconvenience. We have a very close relationship with the nursing staff and residents at several retirement communities in Lancaster, and our Doctors of Audiology visit each of them at least once a month to meet the needs of our patients who are unable to travel to our offices. Thank you for raising your frustrations. Please be aware we have arranged for a member of our staff to make an additional trip to the retirement village early this week. We hope this will address your concerns. Please contact our office with any other concerns you may have, we would love to hear from you. Again, we deeply apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you,
Meredith N., Patient Care Coordinator ”

“I knew her from previous experience years and years ago, but then I had to work with another provider because of insurance. Now that my husband's insurance is actually covering hearing aids, I like them best because she's right in town and I don't need to go to another town. I've been following that she's been a readers choice for many, many years and I know she gives good quality care and she's really caring. ”
