The doctor was repeatedly condescending about the fact that I purchased my hearing aids from an audiologist in the small town where I grew up. After sending my hearing aids out for repair, I was not informed that they couldn’t verify that they were reprogrammed correctly, since this audiologist does not have a charger in-house. Finally, the doctor tried to adjust my hearing aid in-ear hooks without actually putting them in my ears. Also, after visiting, my name and address wound up on a mailing list for a retirement home – I am 33. Bad experience overall with poor data security.

I had an opportunity to meet with Shawn Bryar about my tinnitus. While there is no cure or real treatment he took the time to discuss the mechanics of it and answer all my questions. He was kind, caring and knowledgeable and gave me some great ideas to manage my tinnitus. The staff was also very pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend the Arlington Hearing Center.

If you have any concerns about your hearing, please DO go see Sandra Romano. Shes terrific.When I saw her, I had a so-called cross-over aid for my right ear that just transmitted sound to my left ear. Confusing? Very. And worse than useless.Having tested my hearing, she said that was all wrong. While my right ear was my worst, I did have some hearing -- so I should have independent aids for BOTH ears. I was willing to be persuaded.On first trying them, I complained about all the static coming from my right ear. She took me into a soundproof booth -- Do you hear it now? No. Thats what you are hearing from your right ear.I had to get used to it. That incredible loud ticking noise in the car on the way home? Oh, the turn indicator.After a multi-year lapse, I resumed my French lessons! I can hear again! Makes a world of difference in sorting out French vowel sounds!Losing hearing is tough on marriages and relationships, can lead to increased social isolation, and even increased risk of dementia. Dont miss out. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and go see her. (P.S. Sandra herself has some loss of hearing. She gets it. She really does.)

I have worn hearing aids for about 20 years.I found Dr. Sandra Romano after I relocated to this area.Best. Audiologist. Ever.She wears the same hearing aids that I recently purchased so she knows, personally and professionally, the answers to all my questions. That has been so valuable to me because she truly understands.I am a cyclist and she even put a sports lock on my hearing aids so I feel more secure that Im not going to dislodge them when adjusting my helmet and sunglasses.And, Dr. Romano and her staff are so gracious and accommodating.I am grateful for the excellent care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Romanos for 7-8 years and Im still using my second pair of hearing aids. I cant speak highly enough about Dr. Romano. Her skills, as an audiologist, are truly superb. Ive never received any type of treatment other than the best. My hearing aids work consistently and if there is any question, Dr. Romano always provides adequate care. And, as for Dr. Romano, herself, shes attentive, hard working, and, always upbeat. I cant say enough good about her and I wouldnt think of changing to any other doctor.Mary ScanlonAs for the staff, always pleasant and willing to provide assistance.

You cannot go wrong by choosing the Arlington Hearing Center. The office is located in a vibrant part of town with easy parking. Dr. Romano is experienced and knowledgeable in her field and is supported by a friendly, helpful staff. I got right into my appointment and had the results and a treatment options right away.

After years of denial of hearing issues, I visited the Center. I was very impressed with the professionalism, courtesy, and efficiency of the staff and Dr. Romano. Dr. Romano did a thorough hearing exam and completely explained the results and made recommendations for hearing aids. I have complete confidence in her recommendations, and highly recommend Dr. Romano and the Arlington Hearing Center!

I recently changed from a DC audiologist I had used for six years because of a serious denigration in the level of service I had been receiving. Based on reviews, I found Dr. Romano and the Arlington Hearing Center where reviewers consistently said they had received exceptional care. I am a believer. Dr. Romano and her staff are professional, kind and very accommodating. I am especially pleased with the followup attentiveness and care Dr. Romano has shown for my adjustment to a new type of hearing aid. I would not hesitate to recommend this office and Dr. Romano to anyone needing audiological services.

Dr. Romano is a warm, friendly professional who fitted me with my most recent set of hearing aids. She personally performs the hearing tests, evaluates them, demonstrates various brands of aids, and conducts the follow-up and fitting. Shes also a great teacher, which is important since modern hearing aids are high-tech and require some coaching to appreciate their advanced features. The support staff is equally bright and friendly. I couldnt recommend Sonus Arlington more.

Im grateful for the three years Ive been going to Arlington Hearing Center for help with hearing aids. Dr. Romano is an excellent audiologist, personable, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. She has done a fine job of lining me up with appropriate hearing aids and several of my friends have similarly expressed appreciation for their experience with both Dr. Romano and her staff. Her office is punctual, well managed, and staffed by convivial and efficient professionals.

The hardware and software provided by the devices purchased at Sonus Arlington are the best Ive come across. The knowledge level of the staff is obvious from the start. They go beyond the expected level of customer service one might expect today.The staff at Sonus Arlington provide the sort of customer service that other service oriented companies dream about. In an area that has a dearth of sincere peoplethe folks at Sonus Arlington stand out. Theres no reason to go anywhere else foraudiology care.

Staff is very easy to work with--friendly and competent. They keep themselves up to date with quality equipment and are well trained in its use. My new aids are the best ones yet--no problems with restaurants, telephone, noisy environments--they are great improvement! Highly recommended.

I appreciated the patience of the staff at the Hearing Center. I required hearing aids and made follow up visits until the settings were perfect. Also, adjustments were explained thoroughly and I was able to practice with some of the features on my equipment so that I could adjust the aids for different settings. If I have to wear hearing aids, Im thankful for such helpful people!

My hearing loss is moderate, but the constant need to adjust TV volumes and to ask my spouse and others to repeat things just disappeared when Dr. Romano fitted me with hearing aids two years ago. I still miss words of some songs and some accents, but the ease of use and the quality of todays hearing aids are amazing. Dr. Romano has been both very professional in her work and friendly and helpful, from my initial appointments through subsequent follow-ups. She has excellent support staff too. I recommend her highly.

Every time I have gone to Dr. Romano, I have left feeling as though all my questions have been answered, my hearing needs have been met, and I feel like I just visited with a friend. Dr. Romano is attentive to my needs, is on time for appointments, is very knowledgeable, and has a great demeanor. I could not ask for a better audiologist! Thank you, Dr. Romano!

Dr. Sandra Romano is consistently the most compassionate, helpful and professional person you can meet. Each time I have sought her assistance, she has delivered results, in such a wonderful way. She remembers your name, your special issues and makes you feel that she is interacting with you more like a friend than a patient. Thanks for everything Dr. Romano. See you February 20th.

Both my husband and I are long time enthusiastic customers of Arlington Hearing Center and their able, friendly, and courteous staff. When my hearing aid went dead over the week-end, I called first thing Monday morning, and Dr. Romano squeezed me in for a repair job over her lunch break the same day! Terrific service, always with a smile!Corinne Scott

I have worn hearing aids for over 40 years and believe I have a sound background to evaluate the Audiologists who have worked with me over the years to maximize my hearing capabilities. Realizing that my aids were old and needed to be updated I decided to review the hearing aid specialists in our metro area. Dr. Sandra Romano at Sonus Arlington Hearing Center in Arlington, VA has been recognized as one of the top-rated professional in her field and when I made an appointment and after examining me I can understand how and why she has this top rating. Her Office, the staff and she herself set a very high bar for professionalism and a demonstrated caring attitude. I have never has such a detailed examination and she took all the time in the world to explain what would work best for me. There is no question in my mind Dr. Romano and her associate Dr. Stone will take the time to provide every patient with the best possible solution to your hearing problems....these are straight A people all the way!

First class, all the way. Dr. Romano and her associates helped me every step of the way, to dial in dramatic restoration of hearing that had previously gotten to the point that I became socially isolated, the old man who cant hear you.Hearing aid technology is now truly awesome, and Dr. Romano and her people know exactly how to set it up for each patient. They dont market hearing aids per se. You get to choose your unit among the best ones made. They concentrate on getting it right and are willing to spend the time to do it. Thats a big difference from other outlets that push one product, for example Miracle Ear.Im having a great experience, and would recommend this Sonus team to get the job done and follow through with their customers. Those Ive met all appear to be as positive as I am about their experiences.Highly recommended, folks! These people are real, and theyll do what it takes to get it right.

I came to SONUS with a unique situation, Bi-Lateral total hearing loss. Sandra did an excellent job researching the issue and the products available to her to aid me. Over a the next year she worked with me trying different products and programming to give me the best possible audio experience. Ive had my parents and many friends go to her for hearing tests; all returning with great results.

Arlington Hearing Center & Dr. Sandra Romano is the best Audiologist in the area. I have been going to her for several years & I couldnt be happier. If you have a problem she will do everything she can to resolve it. She is very friendly & is very knowledgeable & she understands the problems as she too wears hearing aids. I have been wearing hearing aids over 20 years & Dr. Romano is the first Audiologist that knows what she is doing & believe me I have seen many over the years. Until I found her my aids wasnt helping me very much & she knew right away what type I needed. I just cant say enough about her & her staff. Everyone is friendly & very helpful.Barbara Ayres

Review №28

Dr Romano and her staff have always been great audiologists to me. Ive used hearing aides since 5 years old. I found her in late 2011/early 2012 after I was using a place in Reston and getting overcharged to my insurance too much by them. She recommended/sold a new pair of hearing aides that are wire-kind instead of the old tube/ear mold kind and I have been happier with hearing aides until I got these.. She also recommended/sold a wireless system that works with my iPhone so I could listen to music and make phone calls on that has made my life easier with a physical and hearing disability... Worked with my insurance to cover the amount for aides they would cover., The location is key too because of easy access to metro..

As a new patient, I contacted Sonus to schedule an appointment to get assistance with an occupational related hearing issue. Dr. Romano was extraordinarily gracious and professional as she reviewed my history and audiology reports and provided me with much needed guidance and professional assistance.

I have been a patient of the Arlington Hearing Center since 1970 at 5 years old. During that time the Center has had 3 management/owner changes. I continue to go (now Sonus Arlington) because of Dr. Romano and her staff. They are knowledgeable, responsive, service/customer-focused, and creative in their service. I travel from Ashburn due to the service I do not receive elsewhere.

I am severely deaf and using a sign language to communicate. My speech is not always fluent and clear. I am wearing a hearing aid on my left ear, and a cochlear implant on the right. I have been attending many different audiology centers in my whole life, even in a few different states. I have to say this one is the best I have ever obtained the service. I feel many audiologists dont really understand the struggles of my deafness and a deaf culture, all they do is focus on Audism rather than understanding the difficulties Deaf people face on a daily basis. The audiologist, Dr. Romano is a first audiologist I met that knows the sign language, we communicate very well. She made sure that I understand everything and listened my concerns very carefully. Plus, she is a fast responder! I would give her 100 stars.

Review №37

This is a great facility. I recently had some ear impressions made for custom in ear monitors for my music. One pair of the custom in ear monitors was from Westone which I ordered direct from Sonus. After using them a for a brief period the right ear monitor started hurting my ear. Not a problem, Dr Romano worked directly with Westone to make sure they understood the issue and fixed the ear piece correctly -- they ended up doing a remake of the earpiece.I couldnt be happier with Sonus. This facility in particular is well organized, managed extremely with and staffed with a courteous and knowledgeable team. You cant go wrong at this location.JP

L was in a difficult situation,my mothers hearing aid had broke a couple days before she had an immigration appointment. I searched on Google audiologists near my location Lucky for us we found Sonus in Arlington,Virginia with Dr. Romano who provided us with a loan hearing aid because the new one would be hear in two weeks. I felt like I went to the right place. The warm welcome from Miss Valerie the receptionist and Dr. Romanos knowledge made this whole process incredibly easy. I definitely recommend Sonus, they will make whatever your situation is stress free. Thank you very much for your help

Review №44

Ive used hearing aids to treat my severe hearing loss since I was three years old, and Im now 36...so Ive worked with many, many audiologists and hearing aid companies over the years.Dr. Romano and her staff are among the top hearing care professionals Ive ever worked with. They are friendly and helpful, and Sandra really knows her stuff. The office space is up-to-date (no wood paneling here) and conveniently located.Now that hearing aids have become so technologically sophisticated, its VERY important that the hearing aid fitter/audiologist is tech savvy. Ive worked with other audiologists who have sold me expensive digital hearing aids but havent been able to successfully program them. Its very annoying to watch an audiologist fumble with the technology that youre going to rely on all day, every day for the next 4-5 years. Dr. Romano is confident with the technology and was able to understand my feedback and adjust the aids digital programming accordingly.This is a little thing, but it has always really annoyed me when audiologists or their staff talk in an exaggerated, slow, loud voice to me as if Im mentally disabled as well as hard of hearing. None of that here...theyll treat you with respect.A note on pricing and insurance reimbursement -- I was referred to this office by my health insurance company and, lucky for me, the insurance company picked up most of the cost of the hearing aids. If you have never purchased hearing aids, you will be shocked by the cost. This is not a reflection on Sonus -- you will see these high prices at any professional audiologist.To make hearing aids worth it, you must fully commit to using them all day, every day...this may require multiple return visits to the audiologist to adjust the hearing aid digital programs until everything sounds right to you. Hearing aids wont fix everything, but they make a world of difference when they are fitted correctly to your particular situation. In other words...you get what you pay for. If you go for discount warehouse aids, you wont get the performance youll get from the high-end products. In some situations, discount aids might be fine. Do your research and see if your health insurance plan will pick up some of the cost.

I suffer from an extreme hearing deficiency due to bilateral acoustic neuromas. Dr. Romano performed an audiogram and recalibrate by Phonak BTE hearing aid that I have had for almost a decade.And the results were fantastic.She took extreme patience during the recalibration as this is both science and art. And my deficient hearing was restored to a working level, whereas before I heard back feedback and unintelligible voice.Five stars, Highly recommended from one that has had extensive experience with failed audiologists.

My father has been a patient of Dr Romano for 10+ year. Called the office and no response therefore decided to stop by the office with my father hearing aids. Office receptionist stated that we needed an appointment to have my father hearing aid check. She seem like she do not want to help or deal with my father needs. Went to another office near by where it was a simple fix and no need of appointment.
