Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia has been extraordinarily helpful on every visit made on…read morebehalf of my 89 year old mother. What an extraordinary practice: kind, caring & competent audiologists; knowledgable support staff & an office well stocked with fairly-priced hearing aid accessories. When my mother moved from Florida to Baltimore, I went to this practice (not far from my home) to purchase new rechargeable batteries for her hearing aids. When I told the receptionist that the batteries were supposed to last about a year, but were not working after 5 months, she immediately consulted with Dr. Gina Crovato. Dr. Crovato told me that a recently identified defect in the hearing aid battery doors contributed to the loss of power & said she could replace them if I just brought in the hearing aids, which I did. My Mom had already seen another audiologist in Baltimore, who did not seem to be aware of this problem. My mother has since seen Dr. Kelsey Trinka, who is so patient, listens carefully and was able to make some needed adjustments in the hearing aids. My mother is slowing down & Dr. Trinka made sure she was comfortable & never rushed her. When another problem came up & I thought the warranty had expired on the hearing aids, Dr. Trinka took time to check the purchase/warranty papers from the Florida audiologist where the hearing aids were purchased, and verified with the manufacturer that the repair warranty is still valid for many months. I have accompanied my mother on multiple visits to audiologists in Pennsylvania, Maryland & Florida, as she moved. After her first pair of hearing aids were purchased in Pennsylvania, the audiologist said "See you in two years", as though her job, selling the hearing aids, was done. It takes considerable training & expertise to program hearing aids & I now understand that adjustments may be needed over several months to fine-tune programming as the wearer gets acclimated. This audiology practice is clearly committed to ensuring that the most up-to-date technology is working properly to service hearing impairment in a very patient-centered manner. I highly recommend this practice, because the purchase of hearing aids is not an end in itself; everyone needs competent follow-up support to make the most of that investment over time.

Then, about a year ago, I experienced a sudden and dramatic hearing loss in my left ear. Dr. Cravato suggested a cochlear implant and while I was nervous, she guided me through the process. Her support, deep listening, and encouragement over the years have made a world of difference. A shout out to Dr. Cravato and the staff at Hearing Associates of Northern Virginia for their professionalism and caring manner. I highly recommend this practice.

Arlington Hearing Center is just the BEST! Suzette at the front desk is friendly, welcoming,…read moreknowledgeable and great at followup. She made me feel good about my choice the minute I walked in the door and has continued to reinforce that feeling ever since. Dr. Romano is one of the finest professionals I have ever used. I have a common form of hearing loss that makes it difficult for me to hear conversation clearly-- and in a crowded busy, and noisy restaurant, it was next to impossible to hear anyone more than a foot away. I got very high end hearing aids in November of 2016, yet had more or less given up wearing them because-- they just did not get the job done. They were 'Ok' around the house, but useless in a noisy space. My problem ended when I put my problem in the hands of Dr. Romano. She reviewed my case, and provided additional explanation to me about my hearing loss. After the most comprehensive hearing test I have ever had, she made her recommendation. It seems that the hearing aids I got in 2016 had technology that was at least a 2-3 years older than that. In that short period of time, hearing aid technology made huge strides; and the latest high end hearing aids that I got as a result, are nothing short of amazing. Three times this week, I have been in busy restaurants, each more energetically noisier than the previous one. Every time, I could hear everyone at the table clearly. I missed no conversation. Perhaps even more importantly, I did not have to concentrate and strain to hear. What joy! What fun! What a relief! I feel like I got an entire section of my life back that I had given up as lost forever. After I got my hearing aids, I have been back 3 times to have them tweaked and to get a couple of accessories. Each time, both Suzette and Dr. Romano found little ways to make each visit go beyond answering my immediate question. I learned more and as a result I get more from my hearing aids. I am now listening to my audio books, when I am out walking and I have discovered that I can both hear and understand lyrics in songs. What pure bliss. Several years ago, my sister encouraged me to get hearing aids. She told me about an article that she read that said that hearing loss requires the brain to do extra work to make up for the loss. Once the hearing loss is corrected, cognitive tasks are easier and learning is faster. I agree. I feel smarter and more alert now. One last thing-- after I got my hearing aids, Dr. Romano did an additional hearing test and showed me graphically the dramatic improvement resulting from my hearing aids. I was amazed. Every frequency, except the very highest ones were again back in the normal range. My experience every day proves it. A day hasn't gone by when I have not had another discovery of how hearing better makes my life better. Your choice of professionals does make a difference and I am certain that Dr. Romano and Suzette provided the difference between a good experience and a great one. Use them! You won't be disappointed!

This is not a fun ride- but they are amazing.

I am sorry to see Dr Gagnon's office is closed permanently. When did it close? And I wonder if…read morethere is anyone else in the area that had his natural approach to good health.

I completely agree with Rob H. who wrote the first review. The lesson here is to never go to a…read moredoctor based on his website. You should get a recommendation from a friend or your primary care physician. Like Rob, I also was told by Dr Gagnon that I had to buy supplements before any treatment could start for my allergies. This seemed odd, but one usually gives the other person the "benefit of the doubt" before passing judgment. I paid $155. cash for the (?) supplements because his office only takes cash or check. Then I was told I had to be tested for "amino acids, heavy metals, etc." and got it approved by my insurance. The bill for this was over $600. and it seems useless. My final visit was the clincher. I was given the "Dr Gagnon Diet" to follow which does not allow sugar, white flour, rice, tap water, fruit juices, etc. This is just about everything! If I wanted to get that "cleansed and detoxified" I would move to a hippie macrobiotic colony on Maui. Anyway, his hypothesis is that everything is caused by Yeast...or an overgrowth of yeast in the system. This has nothing to do with my problem of an inner ear dysfunction. Upon leaving the office I wrote a check for my co-pay and then was told that the additional supplement that he wanted me to take costs $60. I didn't want it, but felt pressured to buy it. It's something that is supposed to stop yeast overgrowth in the body. This all seems to be based on a non-scientific theory that is not supported by "real" doctors. If you want a holistic, metaphysical, and unconventional treatment for what ails you, and you believe in this junk, go to Dr Gagnon. Be prepared to spend hundreds of dollars on his wife's products and not get relief for your symptoms.
