“I’ve been going to Advanced Audiology Concepts for several years now and have learned a lot. Moving to Mentor from Akron area I was looking for a place closer to home when I met Dr. Jane Kukula. She is devoted to helping people hear better and so is the staff and Ashley Spisak, AuD (newest member of the team). They service hearing instruments, provide loaners, have customer appreciation days and birthday surprises. Last year I got pretty sick which included hearing impairment, desperate my husband took me to Dr. Jane who told him to take me to the emergency room. She was great help. Thank You.”
