Our Reviews
On August 16,2021, I walked into LTHA mostly out of curiosity, and walked out with a pair of temporary hearing aids programmed for my particular hearing deficiency by a fully accredited PHD audiologist. I was so impressed at the difference they made. After a very short trial, I committed to a purchase.
Since that time, I've had any issue promptly addressed. Just as importantly, I've been treated as much as a friend as a client.
