Testimonials

After visiting and comparing 4 different hearing aides/audiology businesses, your quality hearing exam and focusing on the client need was number one. Julie Sheperd was the first person to see me at Athens Oconee Audiology. The hearing exam that Julie gave me was far superior to any other exam. Julie's attention to detail and her professionalism was one of excellence. I knew that I had found the right place for this large potential investment. The technical process used to calibrate the data into the device was exciting and impressive. The ongoing follow-ups were timely and adjustments based on my feedback to make my experience even more pleasant.

Over the past several years my hearing has continued to decline. I was discouraged and felt like I would always have to miss out on conversations, especially my grandchildrens. I had tried two other local companies hearing aides. My hearing was better, but I still missed so much, I felt like that was just the way it was going to be until I met with Robin Hardin. When I met with Mrs. Hardin I did not have great expectations, but wast I wrong! Robin Hardin worked with me for hours, literally. We tried a couple different types of hearing aides. I took them home for a couple of weeks to see how my hearing was at home, at church and at work. I am totally amazed how I can hear now. I hear music at church, I can hear in a conference setting that I am in each week, and the cell phone is the biggest change for me. I now use a streamer with my cell phone and I can hear people so clearly now, it is almost like being in a sound booth with one other person. I had tears of joy in Robin's office one day. It is emotionally and physically draining when you are straining to hear others or trying to read lips. I can now say that with Robin's help my quality of life has greatly improved. If you have hearing loss or hearing problems I highly recommend calling Robin Hardin for an appointment. It can change your life!

"What did I hear before my Delta Oticon hearing aids? Enough to get by. I missed punch lines comedians delivered in a quick tumble of words. My car radio constantly remained off; the singer's words always mixed incoherently with the instruments. What was the point? On camping trips I quickly lost interest in stories traded around the fire. No one can read lips in the dark! My attention waned if professors or speakers turned away from me during a lecture. I've worn hearing devices since age 6, but the Delta Oticon changed my life with ease and elegance. They feel feather-light in my ears, but deserve the title of heavy-weight sound champion. What do I hear with them? Nuanced noises and critical conversations. I hear my dog murmur with pleasure as I scratch her ears. Each performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 now delights me: trombones, flutes and oboes! Conversations flow smoothly around me as I don't ask for phrases to be repeated. Delta Oticon devices gave me a superb boost of confidence. I've involved in more activities and projects now than ever before in my life. Family and friends tell me I'm a more humorous person. The truth is I relish in jokes now. When the punch line arrives, I'm ready."

"The owner and audiologist that I dealt with is Robin Hardin. She is very experienced, customer focused, and a highly respected professional. After three separate testing routines, I selected the Oticon Dual micro style instrument (she dispenses several brands) and I'm extremely satisfied after a month of usage even though I still have the 3rd stage of adjustment to go. In any case, she is a great resource and she runs a great company. I highly recommend her."
