I’m still in my Trial Phase in my Hearing Aids, but I am so pleased with them already!
Until Shannon Schneller fitted them after my hearing test, I had no idea how relaxing it was to HEAR so easily and clearly! I didn’t realize how long I had been struggling to make out words and meaning from conversations! Hearing sound was not the issue, but clarity was. Now I am more confident and comfortable around people; I’m not afraid of embarrassing myself by misunderstanding speech.
Recently I attended an excellent high school production of the Disney Musical “Frozen”. What a delight to use the Universal setting on my Horizon APP that focused the sound in front and on both sides!
This is an amazing set of comfortable hearing aids! I wear glasses to see better—why did I wait so long to HEAR better?!

In the last thirty days, I've purchased hearing aids, and have also had a follow up appointment with this company. Their professionalism is unsurpassed. They've introduced me to a whole new life. I can now easily hear the beautiful voices of my wife, daughters, and granddaughter, without having to ask, "what," 2-3 times. Life is good. Thank you, Shannon!

Hearing Instrument Fitter and Dispenser
Current on the latest technology and participates in manufacturer’s private pilot programs
Licensed in Kansas, Missouri, Florida, and Arizona
Contract work for Beltone, Miracle-Ear, Starkey and Accurate Hearing Solutions
Finished his capstone project on the social stigma of hearing aids in 2001
Michael’s father, Lee F. Schneller, started his first hearing clinic in Garden City, Kansas in 1971. As a young child, Michael worked in his father’s clinic after school and on weekends, working on, repairing and cleaning hearing aids. Growing up Michael traveled with his father to hospitals and retirement communities in southwest Kansas, assisting him in any way he could. From these experiences, he acquired a passion for helping others. This prompted him to focus his education on assisting people with hearing impairments. The foundation of hearing aid knowledge Michael acquired while working in the state of Kansas helped pave the way so Michael could expand his studies in California, Minnesota, and Florida.
