Dr. Anzola provides life-changing care! My 94-year-old father suffered profound hearing loss from his time in the military. His condition worsened with age, of course, which has been very difficult. He is in astonishingly good health otherwise and tries to lead an active and engaged life. The hearing loss was causing depression and a lack of desire to engage with others. He currently lives in upstate New York and we exhausted every option available to him in that area. A dear friend of mine, and current patient of Dr. Anzola, told me about the outstanding care he received from Dr. Anzola. Although my dad was beginning to feel hopeless, I decided to bring him down to Virginia for a consultation with Dr. Anzola. She worked tirelessly with my father and was determined to improve his hearing and quality of life. The results were amazing thanks to her dedication to finding the key to better hearing given his circumstances. The hearing aids that she prescribed have definitely changed his life! He described the experience by saying that it feels as if he has been reborn! It actually brought me to tears. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Anzola for all her tireless work with my Dad. He Is engaging in his life again and is so much happier! read more

Here is a little piece about what I think you your office and service I like your office because it is different from the usual small, cluttered room, often freezing. A regular office building with no convenient, free parking and often located in a crowded area. Have always easily found a parking space near your office which is well laid out in regular, good sized rooms with comfortable seats on the first floor. In the front reception area patients can watch TV for the latest news and read magazines from an interesting, fairly recent selection and possibly the Washington Post and some other newspapers. There is no need to sign in on a sheet which requires details of why you are seeking help with ear problems. In short, it has one of the most welcoming arrangements taht I know for a doctor's office. I've never had to wait a long time for service. The website is truly comprehensive providing good information on all aspects of improving hearing. It is well designed and easy to understand. It is a helpful supplement to your treatment. read more

Hear what you're missing You don't know what you've been missing until you start hearing well. Maybe you can hear people talking but can't understand all that they are saying [poor comprehension]. I've been wearing hearing aids for many years but my current set just had it's 7th anniversary! So I took a one-week test drive on a pair of Starkey Xions from Ascent Audiology. After running me through a hearing test in a sound-proof booth, they programmed aids to compensate for my high-frequency loss --think women's voices. I put them to every listening test I could think of that week and they performed magnificently! No feed-back buzz. Close to 100% comprehension -- even in a lecture hall and again in a restaurant. Things I used to have to strain to hear sounded normal. Amazing. If your hearing is less than perfect, test Starkey wireless aids and you too will be able to hear what you've been missing. read more

Very helpful, knowledgeable, and understanding Dr. Himler and her staff have been very accommodating and accessible. I recently lost my hearing aids, and was desperate to get a new set as I rely on them for just about everything. They were able to get me in right away and get my new aids to me in a weeks time. They were wonderful throughout the fitting process as the new aids required a good bit of fine tuning. Dr. Himler was very patient and understanding, taking the time to really understand what I was saying about the aids until we got things right. She's a very caring and thoughtful professional, and I would definitely recommend. read more

Wonderful service . friendly staff and doctor. Good follow up. I fully recommend the practice All I need to say was mentioned above.I've used Ascent for 2+ years, focused on getting & using Starkey Invisible aids - Yes!! - procured here. Dr. Anzola & staff always manage to work in & resolve any problem (I've had several scale adjustment issues), even at short notice. I'm hard to please but happy enough with service here to take the bus more than a half-hour each way to remain a patient of Ascent! Don't let the good looks & charm fool you; she's superbly competent too! read more

I obtained my Siemens hearing aids from the VA. The left earpiece never fit properly and always hurt. Over a period of 2 years I tried numerous private hearing aid dealers but failed to get corrective results. I contacted Dr. Linda Himler. She took an impression of of the left ear and sent it to Siemens where the warranty for the hearing aids was still in effect. When the new earpiece arrived, she installed it in my left ear and it fitted perfectly on the first attempt without pain or strain. I am delighted with the results. I have, already, recommended her to others. read more

Nice experience all around. I wouldn't change a thing! The addition of Prada to the reception area is a definite plus. Congratulations!Their friendliness and caring manner go a long way in providing the best service possible. As hearing professionals, they are very knowledgeable. At a checkup I asked several questions on how to use, clean and maintain my equipment. Not only did they review all pertinent information with me in the office, the next month I noticed that they had added a new educational video to their online resources that covered the same subject. read more

A very good overall experience. I have been well taken care of. I can hear things that I have not been able to hear for a very long time. I play a banjo and can hear the complex harmonics that the strings make when I wear the hearing aids. When I don't wear them the sound is more of a thunk. My family notices that I can hear the TV without driving them out of the room. The real reason I needed them was to be able to hear ladies voices clearly. It is so much nicer when you can hear those sweet nothing's that your wife whispers in your ear. :-) read more

I went to Ascent after having been to about four other locations. My first visit made a great impression on me regarding the degree of concern about my hearing, the professional, caring approach, and the friendly attitude. The options that were explained to me regarding hearing aids, and the way this information was presented was a relief compared to some of the other audiologists I had encountered. I trusted what I was being told. After several years, my opinion has not changed. Always great service and straight talk! read more

Very professional. It's easy to come in and feel at home. The service is professional, they listen and its easy to talk to them. They take care of all of my needs. I like to the way HEAR!Every visit has been a wonderful experience. When our new addition Cali a Yorkie chewed up one of Nats hearing aids, I called to ask about replacement and it was no problem. We even took Cali to meet Dr. Anzola and her staff. They welcomed Cali with open arms and had a replacement hearing aid for my husband. read more

Excellent Latest visit:As usual very efficient, friendly (desk and physician), and cost per session modest, considering thoroughness.Not only did they review all pertinent information with me in the office, the next month I noticed that they had added a new educational video to their online resources that covered the same subject. This experience in dealing and managing my hearing loss has been the most caring, knowledgeable and satisfying process I have had with a health professional. read more

Dr. Pilson and her team were fantastic! I was quite nervous about getting my first pair of hearing aids, but Dr. Pilson explained everything to me and answered all my questions. She went out of her way to make sure that my hearing aids were working perfectly, even when I came back a week later with some mild issues. Everything was resolved, and all the staff were truly amazing. I would highly recommend Ascent to anyone who wants to get their hearing checked or needs hearing aids. read more

Excellent friendly service - superb! Very helpful professional service; available to answer questions, explain details of product & make any adjustments, even on fairly short notice. Delighted with my 'discovery' of Ascent and the remarkable hidden Starkey hearing system.I hear better with less interference and did not have to get the top end hearing aid. Dr. Anzola has great listening skills - pun not fully intended - and helped me achieve my hearing objectives. read more

I would recommend them for anyone with hearing issues!! read more

Total satisfaction! My experience with Ascent Audiology and Hearing was from the first visit very positive,professional,and more than satisfatory. After testing my hearing a mold was made for both ears. Using a computer the sound level for the aids was developed for my individual needs. Adjustments were made in subsequent weeks as needed. The personal attention I received at Ascent Audiology was extraordinary with unfailing courtesy and understanding. read more

Sound all around! I have really enjoyed the new experience of hearing the music. Telephone calls have been less frustrating. The hearing aids have increased my enjoyment of life. I have been walking on trails near my house and listening more for the sounds of nature. Unfortunately the hearing aids also allowed me to hear a tree fall on our fence last week. Overall, I am still finding more things that the hearing aids have helped enhance my life. read more

I was completely satisfied with my hearing evaluation and the hearing aids ability to correct the situation. Both the office staff and doctor were friendly and professional. Any problem I had was taken care of quickly and efficiently. I felt after my hearing was evaluated that the hearing aids established the best correction possible. The doctor also worked with me about certain situations when I could adjust them to work more efficiently. read more

It will not forget the wonderful experience. read more
