Our Commitment

Our commitment to patient care was built around the mutual agreement of honor, integrity and trust with each patient. As a part of the nationwide Audibel network, we aim to provide the greatest hearing care experience possible by abiding to the following standards that define American hearing excellence:

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation

    We evaluate your hearing, communication needs and goals for your life.

  2. Recommend Only What Needs Recommending

    Because we evaluate all your hearing and communication needs, we will recommend a treatment plan that is unique to you and designed to meet your needs.

  3. Clear Understanding of the Hearing Journey and Results

    We make sure that you understand what steps will be taken on your journey to better hearing and what the realistic outcomes are for those steps.

  4. Seeing and Hearing the Benefit

    We will verify that the hearing instruments and accessories that go with them are working and provide the benefit that you need. This verification may be done through several clinically adopted tools such as Real Ear Measurement, Speech Mapping or Sound Field Verification.

  5. Treatment is More Than Just an Office Visit

    We work with you to create a long-term treatment plan, define follow-up appointments, perform regular ongoing evaluations, and any additional care that you may need to make sure you stay satisfied with your hearing in the years to come.

  6. Warranty for One, Warranty for All

    When you work with Audibel, you are working not only with your local hearing healthcare professionals, but also the national network that will honor the warranty and support and service guarantees on all Audibel products.

  7. Commitment for a Lifetime

    All Audibel products receive free cleanings and testing for their lifetime.

I’ve been going to Summit Hearing for about 15 years now and I find that Ted is very knowledgeable and always helping to reprogramming my hearing aids to make the quality of my hearing much better. Also, I find that he doesn’t treat you as a patient but as family

Ted takes the time with my mom helping her with her hearing aids. He understands her struggle adjusting to wearing hearing aids and offers her advise on how to deal with them. We never feel rushed with our visit.

I appreciate Ted with his kindness towards me each time I frequent his office. He sits down and spends time asking me about my hearing aids. He adjusts them and I hear better than before. His easy going business manner promotes confidence in his abilities.
