Hi Christie,

I have a brief but compelling story to tell you. As you know, I am a 76-year-old patient of yours. I had been an amateur musician all my life until about 15 years ago when I started to lose interest in music and stopped playing. I did not even listen to music anymore, as it sounded like banging on tin cans.

After visiting you and receiving my new hearing aids, I started to regain the ability to listen to and like to hear the songs. I think that it took a while for my brain to repair some hearing functions. I have now started singing and playing my guitar again. I have a deep appreciation for your gift of making my life a bit more pleasurable. Thank you!

I have been experiencing hearing loss for the past 25 years or so. I started wearing hearing aids over 20 years ago. My hearing loss has increased over the years, and I have had to get hearing aids capable of delivering higher volumes and clarity.

I first started going to Dr. Allred several years ago and am so pleased with his skills and his desire to work with a patient until the best possible hearing is accomplished.

I am a musician, and at one visit Dr. Allred had me bring my acoustic guitar with me since I had been having trouble hearing my musical tones when playing on stage with other amplified instruments. We spent a great deal of time that day. Dr. Allred was very patient, and I guess we stayed most of the afternoon and evening getting my hearing aids set properly. I also at the time worked in loud environments with noisy, heavy equipment, so he had some challenges there as well. Now I have a “universal” setting, a “music”, a “high noise”, and a “quiet” setting for times when I am in a meeting with soft talkers. With all these personalized settings, it makes my life much more enjoyable when around other people.
