Why Choose Sounds of Life?
Sounds of Life
Big Box / Third-Party / OTC
"After 18 months of mediocre service from another Audiology Firm and considerable research on area Audiologists, i decided to see Sound of Life. I was initially impressed with the extra tests and detailed exam provided by Dr. Exkstrom. After examining various options, I chose to go with new hearing aids and custom molds. Unlike my my past experience, Dr. Exkstom has patiently and professionally worked though the fitting and adjustment period and has not been satisfied until the new hearing aids and mold were just right. Just an outstanding experience. Likewise, all of the office personnel and Audiologists that I have worked with have been very knowledgeable and professional. I would Absolutely recommend Sounds of Life."
