“Great customer service and excellent knowledge of the product.”
Alvin B. of Union Mills, NC 02/03/2024 Review submitted online
“I have been telling all my friends about HearingLife and the great experience I had with Kelly. You can tell she loves what she does by the amount of care, friendliness, thoroughness and honesty she brings. I have been struggling with my ears for years. Kelly let me know exactly what's going on with my hearing. As part of the hearing test she could tell a bone conduction test was needed. She gave me recommendations and told me I'm not quite ready for hearing aids. When that time comes, I will definitely return to Kelly and HearingLife. The best experience I've ever had around my hearing! Thank you so much!”

“I had a great experience with Kelly at Hearing Life of Rutherfordton. I needed to be tested and then walked through the process of buying (my first) set of hearing aids. I was impressed with Kelly's knowledge, friendliness and broad selection of devices to choose from. She helped me select the right model and also processed my insurance. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for hearing aids or audiology testing. Sheila is the front desk manager and she does a wonderful job as well. Rutherfordton is lucky to have them!”

“I have been enjoying the service at Mountain Ear for a few years. Very friendly and helpful. I just received a new set of hearing aids. Very helpful helping me to adjust to them. I would strongly recommend them in your needs. ”

“When you are very, very, very old, time goes by very fast, so my memory may not be too accurate. But with a borrowed hearing aid in hand, I met our Mr. Craig. From that moment, he gently brought me to the stage I am at now, there is no, "what did you say"
to the fact that I can hear the cat meow, I thought it was mute. His practice is everything all of you have said it is, and much more. He is caring, professional, trusting, and all of the adjectives praising this man for his regard for his patients and practice is true. Bless you M'dear.

“I've had hearing aids about 4 years but never received the kind of caring and service I received at MT Ear. They are sincerely concerned about making me hear the best I can. I've had these 2 weeks and already hear so much better than I did. They are excellent providers! ”

“Very professional and thorough exam. The facts were presented and I was left to make my own decision about whether to get a hearing aid at this time. I decided to defer to a later time but I will definitely return to this office in the future if/when I feel that I need further help. Thanks for cleaning out my ears!”
