Dr, Mango was both very professional and thorough and also very patient with a first timer using hearing aids. There was a small problem with the rechargeable battery and Dr. Mango promptly provided a new trouble free pair of hearing aids. Very nice staff!

I was very please with all the service I got, and the help I received.’Dr Tara Mango explained everything and answered any questions. She is a true professional from when I walked in for my hearing test to helping me pick out the best hearing aids for my needs. I was hesitant about getting hearing aids but working with her I felt easy in my decision to buy them.

Review of Tara Mango, AuD

From my first phone call to your office and speaking with Karen who made you feel comfortable to coming in for an appointment everything went easy. Dr Mango is a true professional in her field. Not only very knowledgeable but caring for her patients needs. I was hesitant about getting hearing aids and was only considering the possibility of getting them. , After sitting down with her after my hearing test I walked out of her office with a pair. I will definitely recommend her and your office to anyone needing help.

I am extremely satisfied with the staff at Live Better Hearing . Shelly and Karen are very nice knowledgeable and professional . I am not happy with the hearing aids that I currently have due to fitting issues. Shelly has been working with me to accommodate my needs and doing what she can . My previous set of hearing aids fit perfectly and my new set Insignia fit is horrible. But I have faith in Shelly to get it done and make it work. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Review of Tara Mango, AuD

Tara is super! As indicated above, she's very genial and nice to deal with. This was a follow-up visit for a routine hearing aid cleaning, but I did have a few questions which she handled well. She knows the product, and she understands my hearing situation. I recommend her.

Dr. Mango is very pleasant person to deal with. She is knowledgeable on all aspects of hearing impairments. Once she hears the description of discomfort caused by hearing aids, she immediately examines the units and the inner ear and comes up with a solution. She is an ultimate professional.

My wife and I have been consulting with the audiologists in this institution for nearly 30 years. Tara is a worthy successor to Sandra in her relationship to the customers. Technology has taken leaps and bounds. We are more than satisfied that Tara knows how to transmit knowledge to the older generation.

Personal care. Never rushed. Hearing aids were explained as to the different levels of functions. Dr Tara was patient and caring. Front desk was knowledgeable and helpful. All paperwork was thoroughly explained. Follow-up visits have been scheduled to help understand the device without information overload. Very satisfied. Would recommend.

Review of Tara Mango, AuD

Dr Tara was informal yet professional. Put us at ease and guided us through the process of choosing which hearing aid to purchase. She explained the depth of hearing loss and gave us her suggestions. We weighed the information and then picked the premium hearing aids because of what they offered. Many more features than the other choices and we felt the best for Fred's needs. Our follow up visit consisted of any concerns and new information on how to use the app with the hearing aids. Next visit will address cleaning and filters and any questions we have. Great dealing one-on-one and we felt everything Fred asked was addressed.
