"My experience at Connect Audiology could not have been better. Dr. Sreedivya was very friendly, open, and honest. I was very comfortable in her care from the moment we first met. I was able to replace my five-year-old hearing aids with a pair that features the latest technology. Even though I had previously worn hearing aids, I was given as much time as I needed to learn everything about my new ones. Dr. Sreedivya is very thorough, and I am sure that this will continue on all follow-up visits. I would definitely recommend Connect Audiology to anyone looking for extra special care."

Dr. Sreedivya thoughtfully and competently found a solution for each concern, while at the same time ensuring that I get the best possible sound quality. I am comfortable wearing them all day, whether at work, in the garden, or visiting with my grandchildren. I am definitely glad that I took this step, and grateful to Dr. Sreedivya for the time she took to make sure I had the best hearing aids for my needs."

What Our Patients Have to Say

"I needed a hearing test to renew a commercial license. I called and had an appointment the next day. The office was clean and neat and the audiologist was very professional and explained the testing process. The test took about a 1/2 hour and was very thorough. When the test was concluded she explained the results and treatment options. No high pressure sales pitch for hearing aids or additional visits. As an older adult I feel the exam and test was beneficial to know the condition of my hearing health"
