I had to do a hearing test for my job. Walked in and was greeted by the lovely receptionist, filled out paperwork and the doctor came right up and walked me back. Man, what a pleasant experience! We chatted and laughed, she explained everything that was happening, so I had no questions! I learned so much! She was extremely personable and knowledgeable. I had fun!

I am enjoying the Signia Pure 312x hearing aids. The technology accompanying through the Signia app makes adapting to situations and daily life so convenient. Glad I switched to Signia with the phenomenal support of Associated Audiologists.
