Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia

“Recently, I assisted my mother-in-law with replacements for her previous hearing aids. We had the good fortune to be cared for by Dr. Younes, who practices at Riderwood on Wednesdays. She is not only technically excellent and highly competent, but also brings a certain warmth to every visit. With the hearing exam completed, we selected a new set of hearing aids and have subsequently returned for routine post-visit follow up. I highly recommend Dr. Yunes for audiology exams, as well as consideration of potential hearing aid replacements. She is an excellent practitioner who is not only efficient, but effective, and with a smile. ”

“I cannot say enough great things about my Doctor of Audiology, Gina Crovato! She was patient, knowledgeable, and fitted me with a wonderful set of hearing aids. I am so pleased and grateful for her kindness and expertise! Give that gifted woman a raise! ”

“I have been dealing with Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia for a number of years. I have had the best care from them that is possible. From my very first visit, I felt as though I was being treated by my family. Yes, the hearing tests and recommended hearing aids were excellent and have helped me very much with my hearing loss, but their wonderful caring attitude has made dealing with them so much better than any other medical group that I have dealt with. I highly recommend Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia. Yes, they have improved my hearing issues, but they did it with a higher degree of personal care than I have ever gotten from most medical practitioners. If I could rate them higher, I would.”

“Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia was recommended to me by a friend. I am a first-time user and saw Dr. Yunes. Over the last year I have found her to be well informed and quite proficient at solving whatever issues I have as a first-time user. It is obvious to me that she wants my hearing aid experience to be a positive one.”

“Dr Trinka is a very nice doctor, very patient, helpful and extremely thorough. I used to have constant problems with my hearing aids, including one constant recurring problem with certain sounds being distorted. I went through several audiologists who could not address the problem until I visited Dr Trinka, and on my first visit with her, she found the problem within the first 15 minutes. The earmold had been molded incorrectly and was crushing the tube inside the hearing aid, and other audiologists didn't seem to think to check the tube inside my earmold. I will continue to visit the Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia because Dr Trinka has been consistently thorough and passionate for her work. I cannot recommend them enough.”

“I went to Dr Crovato for hearing aids, which I am very happy with. She was very thro and answered all my questions and concerns. I felt that not only is she knowledgeable and understanding, Dr Crovato wanted me to feel totally comfortable with how they felt and the ways to control the sounds to fit my needs. I left the office very confident and satisfied with my new hearing aids. I highly recommend Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia!!! ”

“I visited Hearing Associates on August 2nd to get my hearing aids programmed. Although I did not purchase them from Hearing Associates, Dr Gina Crovato spent over an hour with me to solve my problem. Dr Crovato was thorough, professional and persistent. She could have easily said that this was not her issue. She solved my problem all the while being pleasant and empathetic. All my future hearing needs will be provided by Hearing Associates and Dr Crovato-she is an absolute professional. ”

“Everyone at Hearing Associates is very professional and extremely helpful and accommodating. I was able to bring my elderly father in earlier on the day of his appointment for a hearing test, consultation, and hearing aid adjustment with only 15 minutes notice; they were able to take him an hour before his scheduled time. Dr. Trinka and the staff are amazing and super nice! They also helped answer my insurance questions. Great service and outstanding people! ”

“Hearing Associates continues to provide outstanding services to their patients regardless of what a patient's need is. Although I replace wax traps frequently, I had a hearing aid which appeared to have a failed speaker because I could not hear anything at all. I dropped it off and thirty minutes later they called me to pick it up. It turned out the wax trap was completely blocked with wax and that was the cause of the problem. I explained that this was the first time that wax caused a complete loss of hearing after many years of hearing aid use, and that if it occurred again I would check the wax trap first before contacting them. They had no problem at all with my having brought the hearing aid to them for repair! GREAT SERVICE.”

“Dr. Trinka is super thorough and professional! This is a great practice- she took her time to provide me the results of my audiology evaluation and she was super helpful in obtaining a replacement hearing aid. The receptionist is also amazingly courteous too. Highly recommend!”

“My elderly mother recently had a hearing test and received new hearing aids. The experience with Dr Crovato was terrific! Dr Crovato is an excellent audiologist with great people skills. She was kind, patient, thorough in explanations and how to's as my mother struggled using new hearing aids. She took a great deal of time making sure my mother understood and was able to comfortably use and charge hearing aids. I highly recommend Dr Crovato and Hearing Associates of NOVA.”

“I went into the appointment with mixed expectations. I am a little young to be experiencing hearing problems but I was having challenges hearing in certain situations. I was very pleasantly surprised. I was thrilled with the mixture of professionalism, technology and personal care. During my evaluation process, using technology, they were able to pinpoint the exact situations where I was having challenges. It was very impressive. The team was able to deliver a customized hearing solution for me that day. I cannot express how impressed I was with the total experience. Wow, what a professional team! ”

“I went to see them on a Saturday in June 2020 to replace the wire and microphone on my Phonak HA. Although I'm not a patient in this practice, they replaced the parts in a matter or minute and charged a very reasonable price. I will definitely go back in a few months for a hearing test and possibly a new HA as mine is about five years old.”

“I am delighted with my new hearing aids which were proscribed by Dr. Yunes. During the pandemic, I needed a couple of adjustments. I received immediate responses from the doctors in the practice when I called or emailed them. The two doctors I saw, Dr. Crovato and Dr. Yunes were terrific. They are enthusiastic, energetic and capable audiologists. I have the highest respect for the doctors in this practice and I am grateful for their help!”

“For quite a while, I had been debating w myself over whether to have my hearing checked (because, ya know, old) and finally pulled the trigger in early 2020. I figured that as I approached 60 (#okboomer) and after countless concerts and countless hours playing music live (yes, still), it was a good idea to get some kind of baseline by an actual professional. (i.e., not just rely on the fact that I can't hear the rest of my mumbling family {grin}) Good news: my family actually WERE MUMBLING! Joking aside though, I got a great report and relative to my age, apparently I'm in pretty solid shape. So not only can I lord it over my family that I am NOT going deaf, but I have a sense of where I stand in the bigger picture, what to be on the lookout for, and what/when to do next. All of this was due to the fantastic experience I had at Hearing Assoc of NoVa with Dr. Kelsey Trinka. Kelsey explained everything fully, made me feel very confident in her presentation of what she would do during the tests and the same with her explanation of my results, and had a great bed-side, ummm, soundproof booth-side manner. If you have been thinking about getting a check-up, do yourself a favor and do it. So worth the time and investment. (Bonus: it was completely covered by my plan.) ”

“As a long time client, I strongly recommend Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia. The audiologists are amazing! They are committed to finding the best hearing aid option (if needed) for you within your budget. They offer many different brands of hearing aids for whatever fits your lifestyle. If fitted, you will absolutely be blown away by how good are the latest hearing devices!”

“Fantastic! Tremendous! Dr. Melissa Yunes and the whole team at Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia provide superb service and attention. They are the consummate professionals! I’m so appreciative of having the privilege of being a client of Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia, which has so enhanced my hearing. ”

“The brand of hearing aid is not what is important. It is the tweaking of its internal program by someone who knows what (s)he is doing that counts. Dr. Yunes of Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia is beyond being a Master Tweaker! Her sophisticated programs have brought me from hearing amplified garbled speech, (as I experienced with my 2 previous name brand hearing aids from 2 well-advertised providers) to understanding WORDS -- spoken in noisy restaurants, from the back of a crowded church, and at a house party, where I didn't have to stand on top of the speaker to hear!! I feel human again! I am so happy to let you know about this great place --- where 3 experienced audiologists choose from an almost endless list of brands to bring us all life-changing results! Hear for yourself in a free consultation! ”

“Simply outstanding care and support in every aspect. Thus, a lot more than a sale, the support is excellent and most important. ”

“Joyful professionalism! Thank you for helping our family! Dr. Gleason was great!”

“My elderly mother, who has dementia, broke her hearing aid into two pieces while attempting to change the battery (which she does not remember how to do). I took the two pieces, with wires hanging out, to Hearing Associates where they had been purchased 18 months ago. Within a week, the repaired hearing aid was returned. Works fine. Cost $250 which was significantly less than purchasing a new one, which is what I thought would be the outcome.”

“I really appreciated that she understood how to talk to my mom in a way to convince to her that she needed to get the hearing aids and wear them.”

“My test was very detailed. They were very polite and nice.”

“She was very informative.”

“It was great.”
