“Hearing again is a wonderful experience. I would like to thank Dr. Sims, his staff and the manufacturer of Oticon Delta 6000. I was treated so special. Everyone made me feel as if my problem was theirs, they did everything to solve my problem. My hearing aids are so comfortable the voices and sound are like the real world, not like being in a tunnel.”

“Dr. Sims, thank you for your patience. I would recommend you very highly”.

“The staff at Physicians Choice are the most courteous and helpful of any
Audiologist that I have ever dealt with. They are truly professionals and
their goal is to help you and your hearing loss and not just to sell you an
hearing aid. Their evaluation and their knowledge will put you on the best
course to improve your hearing and provide the best solution for your
hearing loss not just the most expensive. Their service is second to no one
as they are the best.”

"I have found that with my hearing disability, I not only need a good pair of hearing aids- but also need a knowledgeable and caring person to help me determine what type of hearing aids I need and how they should be adjusted to fit my individual needs. Also someone who is able to advise me as my needs change. I have found this at Physician’s Choice Hearing & Dizziness Center.

I purchased OTICON Delta hearing aids in April of this year and they work well for me.”

“I purchased a Delta 6000 Oticon set (2) hearing aids from Dr. Clark + Dr. Sims. I can’t compliment both the doctors for their patience & time in working with me with the hearing aids…..I will recommend anybody I know to these two doctors. Thanks to both doctors and (the staff) for there kindness and service. I truly appreciate all they have done.”

“Physician’s Choice Hearing & Dizziness Center has provided me with the best professional service and advice. Their very qualified audiologists, Dr. Clark and Dr. Sims, always offer care and understanding of my hearing problem. They recommend the best hearing aids for me. You could not ask for or get more.”

As drummer for the legendary rock group The Moody Blues, Graeme Edge has spent the better part of the last forty years recording and touring, playing hits like Nights in White Satin, Tuesday Afternoon, and Your Wildest Dreams to ecstatic audiences worldwide.

Like many in his profession, however, Graeme found himself with the beginnings of hearing loss. “I’ve been tested regularly over the years, so I knew I was heading towards it,” says Graeme. “I was starting to experience difficulty with conversations, especially in crowded rooms, and sometimes had trouble hearing conversations on the television. ”The problem did not affect Graeme during live performances, thanks to the expertise of his crew. “I get a boost on all my equipment on stage, because I have direct in-the-ear monitoring,” he explains. For Graeme’s offstage listening needs, they directed him to Physician’s Choice Hearing & Dizziness Center, with offices in Tampa and Sun City Center. “The people doing the in the-ear monitoring on stage suggested I get in touch with them,” he confirms. “It was a professional recommendation.”

Hearing is believing
“Hearing aids are so easy to use now and so much better than they have ever been before,” says certified clinical audiologist Jeffrey Clark, AuD. “At Physician’s Choice we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality of care, professionalism, and products, and on ensuring patient satisfaction.” For many hearing aid users Oticon hearing instruments prove the best choice. “Oticon provides revolutionary hearing devices specifically designed for people who find noisy situations challenging at work or when socializing,” explains Dr. Clark. “Never before has a device looked so good and had so much power to improve patients’ understanding in challenging noise environments. “The Oticon Delta fits about eighty percent of people, which is just phenomenal,” reports Dr. Clark. “I’ve been fitting hearing instruments for twelve years now and have never worked with a product that is so successful for so many patients.” “We are finding that the Delta is what hearing aid wearers always hoped hearing aids would be,” adds certified clinical audiologist Scott Sims. “They put them on, other people don’t notice them, and they hear naturally. ”The Delta is a tiny device that fits partly in the ear and partly on top of the ear, basically hidden by the ear. The high-tech triangular design propels hearing devices into the 21st century, setting a new standard for aesthetics. “Speech comes through more clearly,” says Dr. Clark, “whether someone is in a quiet or noisy environment. Thousands of subtle digital adjustments every second keep every listening experience clear and effortless.” “This device offers the most sophisticated sound processing technologies available today,” assures Dr. Sims. “From advanced noise management to voice detection systems, Delta has all that’s necessary to help someone hear better in noise.”

“Brightness and sparkle”
Graeme appreciates what Physician’s Choice Hearing & Dizziness Center was able to do for him. “I worked with Jeff, and it was all very quick, very efficient. He tested my ears, saw the problem, and I walked out with my new hearing aids that same day.” Like others, Graeme had been unimpressed with “old school” hearing instruments and was pleased to see what the newest technology can deliver. “Up until now, hearing aids had always been large and cumbersome, and to be frank, I hadn’t found them very effective,” he says. “All they seemed to do was just turn things up louder, which is not what I needed. “With these new ones, I’m finding brightness and sparkle in everything!”

“My old hearing aids would move around when I chew food and they made my ears itchy and sweaty. They were not comfortable and, for that reason, I wouldn’t wear them all the time.”

“I hear better with the Delta’s and I’m more comfortable. I’m not even aware that I’m wearing them. It’s the greatest thing. You put them on and forget about them. There’s no comparison between these aids and my old aids.”

Annette M. in Sun City Center

“Absolutely wonderful. The entire staff is exceptionally friendly and they just bend over backwards to help you. I’ve never witnessed anything like it in any other hearing center I’ve visited. The place is just phenominal. It’s been three weeks since I got them (OTICON DELTA’S) and I’m still euphoric. I’m hearing sounds I haven’t heard in years. It’s wonderful. I’ve had tinnitus for over twenty years, and that can drive you crazy. I was also having dizzy spells. Since I’ve gotten my hearing aids, all that has stopped!”

Ken F. in Wesley Chapel

“I bought Oticon Delta hearing devices a year ago. I’m very happy with them, are comfortable to wear and cut out background noise.”

Mary K. in Sun City Center

“Dr. Sims was very helpful and my hearing aids work great! I didn’t realize how many sounds I was missing. Oticon Delta- Great!”
