Testimonials
Dr. Sandra Hobson has been my audiologist for quite a few years, but I first met her at a meeting of Central Iowa Hearing Loss Association about 20 years ago, where she served as an officer and was active in community outreach on behalf of hard of hearing individuals. Being hard of hearing herself, Sandra brings a unique and valuable perspective to her work with her clients. She understands so much about fitting the right equipment to each person based on her own hearing aids and assistive devices. My last set of hearing aids lasted seven years, in large part to Sandra's expertise in tweaking them repeatedly to get everything we could from them. I now have a new set of aids, and Sandra has patiently made adjustments until they are now "just right". I am confident that when they need additional adjustments as my hearing changes in the next few years, Sandra will be able to bring out their full potential.
"I humbly apologize I have not written this sooner. Please, forgive me I am not good at doing this. Thank you for your understanding. I want you to know that the hearing aids provided to me through Dr. Sandra Hobson have made an amazing difference. I have known about The Lions Club, by way of the mints that I have bought when I have seen them. And possibly the used glasses return places.
My ears have been ringing for quite a long time now. And when I was given the opportunity to try out a pair of hearing aids. I could not believe what a difference it would make. I was amazed that I could hear better, and he ringing was made less. I have noticed that when I do not wear them I have increased ringing, and I cannot hear very well.
Rhoda, Thank you for everything you and Dr. Sandra Hobson, have done since you have been helping people Hear, See, and whatever else you do that I am unaware of. You provide a service to people that need these services. Thank you very much for allowing a guy like me to hear, and reduce the ringing noise. You are good worthy people. Please, continue to keep serving people. I greatly appreciate the hearing aids provided. So far the cost of the devices, and the use of them have been very beneficial since receiving them.
Once again, I really appreciate the hearing aids very much. And am over whelmed at times with the thought of having the opportunity to wear them. The ability to hear better has improved my life."

Sandra has been taking care of my hearing needs for 14 to 15 years.
"I lost a job because of my hearing loss. She's Great. She is knowledgable in the different types of hearing aids and which works for each persons needs and situation. My second pair has a button so it's easier to hear on the telephone. The signal goes from phone electronics to hearing aid electronics and shuts out outside noise. They worked very well at my job. I'm going to be needing another set in a couple of years. And I love the set I have now. They're Great"

My patient, a lovely 92-year-old lady still lives independently and plays the organ at her church every Sunday, plus funerals during the week. She recently came in for her third set of hearing aids and we reminisced that on May 9, 2001 she had called my office complaining of a terrible ringing in her ears and could I please stop the ringing - that even when she took her hearing aids out she had a terrible ringing in her ears, which was coming through VERY loud over the phone line! She was in a dither since she had to get her casserole out of her oven to get to her church in time for a potluck that night. I told her to go ahead and put the hearing aids back in for the potluck and that I would call her later that night when she got home from her church function. At 8:30 that night I called and had her respond as to when the ringing (which was still quite loud over the phone) was the loudest, walking her through each room in the house. Turned out it was her carbon monoxide detector, and we immediately told her to go outside and we'd call the energy company to send a truck out ASAP to check what was causing the alarm to go off. She wanted to call them in the morning, but I insisted she do it NOW. Turned out her stove was malfunctioning and putting out CO fumes throughout the house. The serviceman pronounced her stove "dead" and that she should buy a new one! If she had gone to bed he said she probably would never have woken the next morning, so here she is 5 years later buying another set of digital CIC hearing aids and loving life. Thanks to a caring audiologist, she hugs me and says ENJOY all that life gives!
