Patient Testimonials

My hearing has been deteriorating over a number of years. In the past year, I realized it was becoming progressively worse. My inability to hear well was beginning to affect both my personal and professional life. I had a hearing test and was planning to purchase traditional hearing aids. I saw an ad for the Lyric and made an appointment with Dr. Shohet. On my first visit, I walked out wearing the Lyric. I wear it 24/7 with no maintenance or batteries to replace. It is like a miracle. My hearing is so natural. I forget I am wearing the Lyric.

Susan: I appreciated how my audiologist explained everything to me, including what to expect when I moved on to a more powerful hearing aid.  She said, ‘We work for you in getting them right.’ And they did. My hearing aids are perfect—I love them!

Patrick: Seeing Dr. Shohet was a life-changing experience for me. He gave me hope that my hearing could be restored. My experience could not be any more positive!

“Although I am not a surfer, I suffered with surfer’s ear for nearly five years. I even had to go to the emergency room to get my ears unplugged. Dr. Shohet operated on me and the outcome has been incredible.  My hearing is back to normal and I am thrilled. From the moment I first walked into the office to my follow-up visit, everyone in the office has been very concerned and professional. I never felt rushed. I’ve recommended Shohet Ear Associates to just about everyone.”

“I had been hard-of-hearing all my life, when a hearing test made me realize I could be completely deaf before long. I started checking into alternatives and learned about cochlear implants. Dr. Shohet implanted my bilateral cochlear implants in March 2006, and it has changed my life! I’ve been able to make friends with my co-workers and start using the phone again. We also just had a baby, and being able to hear the little sounds she makes has been awesome.

Dr. Shohet explained everything and made me feel at ease—he has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have met. The technology in the office was  impressive. In fact, I’ve been very impressed with the entire group at Shohet Ear Associates. I do not want to go anywhere else!”

"After years of working in construction, I developed tinnitus. The constant ringing in my ears was distracting and impacting my life. I read about neuromonics on the Shohet Ear Associates website and decided to look into it. The staff in Dr. Shohet’s office was very professional, understood my condition and helped me feel at ease.  Now, two months into treatment, I have the confidence to know that I can go to sleep, or just sit and relax my mind using the neuromonics.  I’m doing the everyday things I used to do before I developed tinnitus.  I can’t say enough good things about my experience."

Surfer's ear was making my life miserable. I was experiencing hearing loss and having recurrent ear infections. Dr. Shohet used a simple procedure to clear my ears and help restore my hearing. I'm back in the water and back in action. I wouldn't go to any other ear doctor--my result was terrific.

“Dr. Shohet and Cheryl Tanita are so good with children! Rod was deaf in both ears and he just wasn’t hearing with his hearing aids. His speech development was not progressing. Dr. Shohet suggested a cochlear implant and at our initial consultation, he answered every one of my questions--2 pages worth! He performed the implant procedure nearly 2 years ago and the results have been terrific.

Cheryl has also been great. After Rod’s implant, she made sure his mapping was perfect—she wouldn't let us leave until she found a way to make it just right. Now, Rod’s speech is normal. He was mainstreamed in Kindergarten and is excelling along with the rest of his peers. How can you ever thank someone for giving your child a ‘normal’ life?”

When it comes to hearing aids, I am their customer for life! I’ve bought two pairs from Shohet Ear Associates and the staff has always bent over backwards to be sure I was satisfied. My newest instruments are wonderful. But beyond that, the staff has great compassion for their patients—no one has ever made me feel like I was bothering them. I think they walk on water, because of what they do for me.

My wife and I were very worried when we learned I had an acoustic neuroma that required surgery. But Dr. Shohet was very caring, and the operation and my recovery have both gone very well. We’re very thankful for his skills as a surgeon and the wonderful care we both received.

I had purchased a set of hearing aids from another vendor, but they just weren’t working for me. My new hearing aids are fabulous and my audiologist, Cheryl Tanita, was more than eager to be sure they were right. Everyone was courteous, efficient and very professional. I’m very grateful to the entire staff.  

I was told I had an ear infection, but Dr. Shohet discovered that I actually had a benign tumor that needed to be removed. Through it all, Dr. Shohet spent a lot of time explaining my condition and how we were going to treat it. He was so compassionate! I’d definitely recommend him to anyone needing ear care. I think he’s the best in the world!
