We understand that taking the initial steps toward addressing ear, hearing, and communication problems can be filled with uncertainty and reluctance for some. Many of our patients have been kind enough to share their thoughts and experiences so that other people like themselves may find the encouragement and confidence to address their hearing health and get on the path to improved communication, comfort, and quality of life. We often hear our patients tell us they would have done something sooner if they had known before what they now know!

REVIEWS
Beginning the process of getting hearing aids was a big decision for me. I am so glad I chose GLA to begin the process. Dr. Keifer is great. He explains everything well and thoroughly. He’s very knowledgeable and applies his training and experience to your specific situation. There was never any pressure to buy or do things in a specific way. He worked with me to come to a perfect solution. I appreciate the after-purchase appointments to fine tune my experience. I highly recommend Great Lakes Audiology and Dr. Keiffer. He and his staff are friendly, helpful, and great to deal with.
Ed H., Toledo, OH, 71
The professional, welcoming, friendly, and efficient office atmosphere has been impressive. After my initial consultation with Dr. Keifer, I felt confident and comfortable to let Great Lakes Audiology help me with my hearing issues. Without a doubt, I made the right decision.
Hindol G., Toledo, OH, 83
I highly recommend Dr. Keifer and his staff. In fact, I have already recommended Dr. Keifer to people I know and I hope they use his services.
Bob M., Sylvania, OH., 70
I am delighted that my former audiologist, who retired in 2021, recommended Great Lakes Audiology to me. Since becoming a patient at Great Lakes Audiology, I have experienced the expertise and care that Dr. Keifer gives (not only to me, but to my friends as well). The respect and kindness that I have received from Dr. Keifer and his staff members, DeAnne and Kris, are always exceptionally fine.
Sr. Brigid M., Sylvania, OH, 82
I would not hesitate to recommend GLA to anyone. Good experience all the way around.
Bob G., Maumee, OH, 64
I have been dealing with hearing loss for close to 20 years. Dr. Keifer is fantastic. I learned more about my hearing loss and its treatment during my appointments with him than I have from any audiologist.
Gregory C., Bowling Green, OH, 63
I am impressed with Dr. Keifer’s depth of knowledge and skill to solve hearing issues.
Mary Sue E., Sylvania, OH, 89
My experience at Dr. Keifer’s office was exceptional. He really cares about his patients and takes a lot of time to get to know them and what their needs are. He will do everything in his power to serve you to the best of his ability and make sure you have hearing aids that work well for you if that is indeed what you need. His staff is extremely helpful and friendly and do whatever they can to make your visits pleasant and accommodating to your schedule and your needs. You won’t be disappointed choosing this office for your hearing needs!
Pam H., Northwood, OH, 78
Dr. Keifer and his staff are professional and make you feel special as they listen to you and work with you to improve your hearing.
Bill S., Sylvania, OH, 70
Thank you, Dr. Keifer, for restoring my quality of life. You don’t realize how much you’ve lost until you can hear and be heard again! I’m sorry I “graduated” from my new hearing aid fitting and follow-up appointments. I will miss you all! Thank you for your dedication and compassion to your patients. I will continue to sing praises to you and your practice.
Meg B., Sylvania, OH, 64
Dr. Keifer is knowledgeable, caring, and easy to work with.
~Larry F., Holland, OH, 70
Dr. Keifer is very helpful and explains everything concerning my hearing and works with me to improve my ability to hear better.
~ Bill S., Sylvania, OH, 70
The best part of my experience was the complete, detailed examination using the latest technology resulting in the accurate resolution of my problem. I’m very satisfied.
~ Jack M., Toledo, OH, 77
I lost all hearing in my right ear when I was 15. I’ve had a CROS hearing aid set twice before – once in the 80s and another around 2015. I didn’t like them. With advancement in technology, I tried again. Success! They are small and comfortable and I no longer feel uncomfortable when I’m with people. My first appointment with Dr. Keifer was two hours long! Dr. Keifer did tests and took the time to get to know me and my needs. I have had two follow-up appointments in less than two months and will have continuous appointments to keep them [my hearing aids] in tip-top shape. I never had any follow-up service from other audiologists.
~ Louise K., Toledo, OH, 73
The receptionists at the front desk were very nice and friendly. They were always smiling and ready to work with me on scheduling future appointments. Dr. Keifer was always on schedule, no waiting. He was interested in discussing subjects other than audiology. There was no pressure to purchase hearing aids. I had a five-star experience.
~ Fred B., Holland, OH, 73
It’s been 6 months since my appointment with Dr. Keifer and I received the hearing aids he recommended. My hearing has been declining for a few years. However, thanks to Dr. Keifer, I’ve enjoyed much better hearing these past 6 months. Dr. Keifer is a highly skilled audiologist and both he and his staff are very professional. And at the same time, his office has a cordial atmosphere. I’ve had only one regret these past 6 months, and that is not having made an appointment at Dr. Keifer’s office much sooner.
~ Larry S., Holland, OH, 73
Dr. Keifer was very understanding. He took the time to make sure the hearing aids fit for my needs and that I was comfortable with the whole process. I would recommend Dr. Keifer/Great Lakes Audiology to anyone needing hearing aids.
~Lynne D., Temperance, MI, 69
I highly recommend Great Lakes Audiology. Their customer service is second to none. Every visit exceeded my expectations. Dr. Keifer and the office staff are informative, friendly, and outstanding.
~Sharon C., Toledo, OH, 81
The doctor and his staff provide thorough, excellent help to the patient while they maintain a friendly, easy-going atmosphere in relationships to people under their care.
~Alex G., Sylvania, OH, 91
Dr. Keifer is extremely personable, very thorough in his explanations, and has eased me into hearing aids.
~Anonymous
Dr. Clint listened to my questions and explained his answers.
~Anonymous
Great Lakes Audiology is a top facility to have your hearing requirement serviced. Dr. Clint Keifer explains what procedure will be used to evaluate your hearing and what is best to correct your hearing loss based on tests used and his study from years of experience. Keep up what you are doing. Dr. Keifer and staff are excellent.
~Richard B., Waterville, OH, 82
My entire experience at Great Lakes Audiology was wonderful – from scheduling to appointments. I felt well taken care of and that all the decisions were made with my best interests in mind. So much flexibility was shown for my personal schedule as well. Thanks for everything!
~Sarah M., Perrysburg, OH, 33
Starting with my very first appointment, Dr. Keifer and his staff made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He has always explained all the testing and procedures in a way that anyone can understand. My whole experience with Great Lakes Audiology could not have been more pleasant or satisfying. I would not trust my hearing to anyone else.
~Claud B., Grand Rapids, OH, 66
My hearing loss was hard for me to accept. With Dr. Keifer’s help, he made the transition much easier. Listen to your children, sometimes they’re right! Thank you, Dr. Keifer. Use my full name. I hope it helps others who are struggling too.
~Karen B., Sylvania, OH, 78
Dr. Keifer is super attentive and listens to your specific needs closely. He is also very helpful in setting up hearing aids to work with your phone. Office staff is great and went above and beyond to find me a provider for hearing aid care in a different country when I was traveling! I would highly recommend Dr. Keifer and his staff to anyone that asks.
~Jim T., Berkey, OH, 64
Dr. Keifer is a “listening doctor” [good listener] who did not look at the computer screen while listening to me. He was sensitive to my readiness for hearing aids. He did not presume I was ready and instead asked. Dr. Keifer – keep on exceeding patients’ expectations.
~Faith C., Toledo, OH, 77
I went for a hearing aid fitting at Great Lakes Audiology with Dr. Keifer. I was shocked when he put my hearing aids on and I could actually hear him close the box that the hearing aids had been in. He moved papers about on his desk and I could hear the rustling sound of the papers moving. Wow! This was crazy. I hadn’t heard anything out of my right ear since forever and here I sat listening to everything in stereo. It’s as if I have been listening to an old, twangy, out-of-tune radio for years and all of a sudden someone just gave me a bright, shiny, new stereo system. It is so cool, exciting, fun, and strange, all at the same time.
I never realized all the sounds I was missing until I started hearing things. Thank God for all the beautiful sounds in the world – things we hear, but take for granted. Thank God that you can hear people and actually know what they are saying. I have not been able to tell what direction sounds are coming from either. But the doctor told me that gradually, as my brain adjusts to my hearing aids, I will be able to figure that out too. What an amazing gift! Thank you to my husband for working so hard every day so we can have food on the table, a roof over our heads, and cool new gadgets like hearing aids! A special thank you, also, to Dr. Keifer and his staff for always being so kind, courteous, and helpful. They work they do on a daily basis is truly changing lives!
~Mary S., Swanton, OH, 57
I would recommend Dr. Keifer and the entire Great Lakes Audiology staff to anyone who needs a hearing evaluation. They are always pleasant and courteous. They listen to patients’ symptoms and provide honest feedback without any pressure towards future purchases. I have a better quality of life because of the treatment I received. Thank you!
~Tom S., Toledo, OH, 72
The best part of my experience working with Dr. Keifer was being heard and listened to. The effects of what I could expect by getting hearing aids was very carefully and fully explained. After care from both Dr. Keifer and office people was amazing.
~Nancy G., Delta, OH, 77
If the occasion ever arises for me to give advice to a hearing-impaired person, Dr. Keifer and Great Lakes Audiology would be at the top of my list for a referral from me and my whole family.
~Shirley P., Norwalk, OH, 89
The hearing aid I was prescribed from Dr. Keifer is the first hearing aid I have had that works (I have 3 sets in a drawer that don’t)! The good part is I now hear birds in the woods. The bad part is that I now hear noises in the mornings from insects and all other kinds of noises. The world is a noisy place!
~Charly Q., Temperance, MI, 92
Dr. Keifer, my audiologist, is excellent at caring for my hearing problems. I would recommend his practice to anyone. I liked the time that was taken to check my hearing loses and see what I needed. He does not try to sell you hearing aids if you don’t need them.
~Gloria M., Wauseon, OH, 83
Great Lakes Audiology provides the highest level of care and personal attention. Dr. Keifer thoughtfully asks questions and carefully listens to ensure the best possible results in treating hearing loss. A+++
~John M., Toledo, OH, 64
With aging, my hearing was gradually diminishing to the point of becoming significantly debilitating. I had tried to wear hearing aids before, but because of tremors, was not successful. With urging from family, I decided to try one more time. Dr. Keifer worked with me to find a solution. Result? I can hear again – a new lease on life for this 90-year-old! Thank you, Dr. K!
~Carol Q., Temperance, MI, 90
Very enjoyable experience. Staff makes you feel very comfortable.
~Larry D., Toledo, OH, 70
Dr. Keifer and the staff do a great job in making sure that your hearing needs are taken care of! Everything they do is top-notch!
~Greg P., Delta, OH, 34
Thorough, professional, and friendly!! You are the best!
~Bob P., Temperance, MI, 70
The atmosphere in your office is very friendly and inviting. The staff is very friendly and congenial. Your examination procedure is very thorough. Keep up the good work!
~ Fran A., age 90, Maumee, OH
I have had hearing problems for over 5 years for which I have seen someone and was prescribed hearings aids which after some trial had failed to get me to wear them. Dr. Keifer took a very detailed approach to figure out my hearing issues and worked with me over a 6 week period that he called “Auditory Rehabilitation” with numerous adjustments and choice of hearing aids that worked perfectly. I highly recommend him and his office for anyone who wants hearing help.
-Gus S. , Toledo, OH, 57
Dr. Keifer and staff make you feel comfortable and make sure your hearing aid performance is the best it can be. He listens to any concerns and finds solutions to meet your needs. While it is an investment, we have confidence that Great Lakes Audiology get their patients the best return…clear hearing.
-Juan & Ken N., Hudson, MI, 67 & 72
This is a relaxed, professional office. You never feel rushed. You have the Dr.’s full attention. He has available the latest technology. He makes you a priority at a fair price. What more can you ask. Thank you for your service.
-Brenda H., Toledo, OH, 79
I first went to Ken Wood back in 2017. In 2021 went back to see what I could do. I was having issues again and they ran tests, maxed out my hearing aids. Anymore I would have to buy new hearing aids. A friend referred me to Dr. Keifer. He worked with me and the hearing aids I already had, now my hearing with them is excellent.
-Jane J., Waterville, OH, 73
No one likes to admit their hearing is less than perfect. I chose Great Lakes Audiology because of its proximity to my home. Little did I know of the care and concern that are the key elements of this practice. I highly recommend this very thorough + professional practice to anyone having difficulty hearing. The results are fabulous!
-Jean M, 72, Sylvania OH
I had hearing aids from another company but my son-in-law has some from Dr. Keifer and loves his. He suggested changing to his, I did and there is such a big change to my new ones. They are so good, I love wearing them. Dr. Keifer had me go back until they were perfect. I surely recommend him.
-Emma W, 96, Fostoria OH
Dr. Keifer was wonderful with my mother in law. He was very patient & thorough. When I needed hearing aids there was no doubt where I’d be going. I highly recommend Dr. Keifer and Great Lakes Audiology.
-Gina G, 57, Holland OH
I am a retiree (6yrs, now) and have dealt with so many various people over my 41 years as an electrician, both as a tradesman and in a supervisory role. I pride myself in the ability to evaluate people, and am seldom wrong. I immediately found Dr. Keifer to be a very capable audiologist who presented a refreshing desire to make my hearing as good as it could possibly be. Also, of note, Dr. Keifer and GLA were recommended by another audiologist!
-Gary S., Oregon, OH
I went online to find an Audiologist and I chose Dr. Keifer because of all the great reviews he had. I have not been disappointed! Not knowing what to expect, Dr. Keifer goes way out of his way to explain what to expect & answered all my questions-thoroughly. He said I only needed one hearing aid (he could have sold me –two- what do I know). Dr. Keifer is very knowledgeable , personable & prices are reasonable. I have adjusted very well & I can understand what my little grandkids are saying to me!
-Suzanne F., 64, Monclova, OH.
For the first time in five years, I was able to hear conversations with the hearing aids provided. Dr. Keifer was patient and answered my questions in a way I could understand.
Thank you for the professionalism and kindness by all the staff.
Have highly recommended Great Lakes Audiology to our friends.
–Gary M., 72, Toledo, OH.
Dr. Keifer is very knowledgeable and is very personable. He made me feel very comfortable from the very beginning. The audio rehab is so beneficial in adapting well to your new hearing device. I would definitely recommend Dr. Keifer to anyone especially if they are concerned about the whole process. The office is clean and efficient. DeAnne is very friendly and makes you feel like “family” as does Dr. Keifer.
–Cindy S., 70, Sylvania, OH.
Everything was explained so I could understand. Dr. Keifer even printed out what my hearing problems were so I could show my family. Dr. Keifer is very personable and easy to talk to. I would recommend him for your hearing problems.
-Carole M., 75, Sylvania, OH.
Dr. Keifer is very knowledgeable and does a thorough examination. He is very courteous, listens and takes the time to make any necessary adjustments. Also enjoy the courtesy and friendliness of his receptionist.
-Elaine M., 86, Toledo, OH.
The last thing I wanted at my age was hearing aids – but I knew I had a hearing problem (and worse, others did too and confronted me about it). Dr. Keifer was so understanding and compassionate – I could see that he understood my fear, hesitancy and struggle with my ego. he told me I was brave for seeking help in spite of all those things. Now, I am more confident when I iunteract with people because I know I am hearing the full conversation and not worrying about missing things. Dr. Keifer was exactly who I needed to help me with my hearing.
-Suzanne M., 48, Maumee, OH.
My grown children had been saying to me for the past 2 years. “Mom you can’t hear us, get your hearing checked”. I said, “ I can hear just fine, it’s just that you talk too low and are mumbling”. Finally, in 2019 I decided to get a hearing test to prove them wrong. I picked Dr. Keifer because a friend told us the Doctor was kind, patient, and explained things. So I scheduled an appointment, and took the test. My results were that 80% of my hearing was in the bad to severe range. Dr. Keifer, was patient and kind, he explained what would happen next. He explained the cost range and hearing rehab. When the hearing aides were fitted I had several appointments for adjustments. My hearing aids were comfortable to wear. Dr. Keifer is knowledgeable, and patiently answered all my, and my husband’s questions. I now hear my children, grandchildren, tv shows and the radio. I hear birds chirping, and wind rustling the trees. I now realize how bad my hearing loss was, and all that I was missing. Hearing loss is a slow process. Dr. Keifer said that adults should get a hearing test every 5 years. Now I tell everyone about my hearing aids and recommend a hearing test every 5 years.
Also, go to Great Lakes Audiology!
-Evelyn C., 72, Toledo, OH.
I highly recommend anyone who is serious about improving their hearing to check out Dr. Keifer. For over 15 years I had tried the Retail option from various box stores & retailers, but always thought I should be able to hear better.
Today, I can honestly say that the quality & clarity of my hearing is substantially better-in all situations~ and all thanks to Dr. Keifer!
Sam A., 67, Sylvania, OH
I was hesitant about getting hearing aids, although I knew I needed them. Dr. Keifer showed me several options, explaining the advantages of each. We then went through what steps we were going to take to make the process comfortable and pleasant for me.
After having the hearing aids for 9 months, I wish I hadn’t waited.
Trish S., 67, Lambertville, MI
From the minute I walked in the door and was warmly greeted by DeAnne at the front desk, I felt at home.
Dr. Keifer is amazing! He performed all the tests necessary to diagnose my hearing loss and explained what he was doing each step of the way. Even though I had researched different hearing aids, he shared additional information and helped me choose the perfect ones. I can’t say enough about my Phonak hearing aids! I especially enjoy the Bluetooth capabilities. Of course my hearing has improved almost 100%. I no longer have to have people repeat, neither do I have to use Closed Captioning for movies. Dr. Keifer is the best! I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else for my hearing needs.
Madora B., 72, Toledo, OH
The care given by Dr. Keifer was outstanding! For the first time in 6 years I feel like I have my natural hearing back. I can say Dr. Keifer actually changed my life. I highly recommend.
Gene G., 79, Maumee, OH
5 Stars! From the minute I walked in the door and was warmly greeted by DeAnne at the front desk, I felt at home. Dr. Keifer is amazing! He performed all the tests necessary to diagnose my hearing loss and explained what he was doing each step of the way. Even though I had researched different hearing aids, he shared additional information and helped me choose the perfect fit. I can’t say enough about my Phonak hearing aids! I especially enjoy their Bluetooth capabilities. I no longer have to have people repeat, neither do I have to use closed captioning for movies. In every follow up appointment, Dr. Keifer has taught me something new as well as answered every question that I have had. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else for my hearing needs.
–Madora B., 72, Toledo, OH
I would recommend Great Lakes Audiology to everyone! The doctor is very kind and patient. He is very understanding and will explain anything to you that you don’t understand. The office is very clean and there is never a wait. It is a very calm and clean environment!
– Kat B., 26, Toledo, OH
From the first phone call to Dr. Keifer’s office, everything was complete, thorough, and professional. The individual attention I have received has made using hearing aids as smooth and uneventful as can be imagined. I am so glad I did not go to a large retailer for my aids and I am very comfortable recommending Dr. Keifer to my family and friends.
– Mike E., 71, Sylvania, OH
After one bad experience with a hearing aid and a less than promising opinion from a second Audiologist, I was encouraged by my family Doctor to see Dr. Keifer for another opinion. Having previously been diagnosed as having tinnitus, I thought there was nothing that could be done. Upon being seen by Dr. Keifer, he virtually assured me that he could improve my hearing. And while talking with Dr. Keifer, the conversation did not sound like a typical sales pitch, but instead instilled within me a belief that something could actually be done. And it was.
Today I am hearing better than I have for many, many years. I no longer have to ask my wife to repeat everything she says to me. The best part is that I am able to communicate with my grandchildren again, finally being able to understand their low soft voices.
When out in public, I no longer have to strain to hear or try to read lips in order to carry on conversations. Instead of being a wallflower I am now able to actively take part in group conversations and enjoy doing so again.
My hearing is not perfect by any means but the extent to which my hearing has improved has really enriched my life. I am so thankful to Dr. Keifer for what he did for me. Both he and his staff have always made me feel as though they really cared about me, about me hearing better and being able to improve the quality of my life. They succeeded and I am oh so happy.
If anyone would have any questions about a hearing problem they may have, I would highly recommend making an appointment with Dr. Keifer. I’m thankful I did and I know you would benefit also. Don’t wait like I did thinking nothing could be done. Make an appointment!
– Dennis Z., 73, Toledo, OH
Dr. Keifer was very thorough in his examination and fitting of my hearing aids. I would refer anyone who is having trouble hearing to make an appointment with him.
– Carol R., 65, Lambertville, MI
As we age, our body experiences many changes. Our ability to hear clearly begins to weaken causing frustration and concern. A good audiologist, one with skillful precision, using the latest in technology, is able to diagnose and evaluate your condition. Great Lakes Audiology offers you a personal and caring approach to hearing healthcare under the trusted guidance of Dr. Clint Keifer, a dedicated licensed Doctor of Audiology. His practice embodies the highest of hearing care, all in a warm, inviting, and welcoming environment. His pleasant personality immediately puts you at ease. I am so pleased with the continued care I receive.
– Sr. Marian S., 78, Sylvania, OH
Nice to have a doctor really care about your concerns, listen to even the silliest questions and respect you enough to answer with concern and patience. Would recommend him to everyone. Office staff is excellent and efficient.
– Connie B., 67, Sand Creek, MI
I was forced to consider hearing aids when I realized I could not hear what my grandchildren were saying – but I was apprehensive about spending a great deal of money for hearing aids that never left the drawer. My fears were not realized and for this I credit Dr. Keifer’s thorough exam, his ability to choose from an array of brands and styles to meet individual needs, his willingness to take the time to get it right, and the terrific ongoing support from Dr. Keifer and office manager DeAnne. My new hearing aids have restored a dimension to my life I did not know I had lost.
– Teresa C., 75, Napoleon, OH
Was provided an excellent exam. Everything was wonderfully explained. Made it easy to transition to my first hearing aids. Follow up visits were just as good as the first.
– George U., 85, Antwerp, OH
My experience at GLA was very positive. Dr. Keifer has been very helpful in teaching me to insert and take care of [the hearing] aides. The aides are a great asset and I have no problem wearing them. I am very satisfied and happy with them. Thank you!
– Carole S., 84, Temperance, MI
Nearly everyone I know dislikes their hearing aids – including some family members. I was unprepared for the pleasurable experience for loving my hearing aids all due I’m sure of Dr. Keifer’s diagnosis and fitting of the device suited to me. I also greatly appreciate the follow up trips to “tweak” them. Five gold stars to Great Lakes Audiology.
– Joan V., 87, Archbold, OH
I would recommend Clint to anyone with a hearing problem and he knows what he is talking about when fitting hearing aids. Without a doubt, the best.
– Dennis L., 75, Toledo, OH
As a baby-boomer who was reluctant to consider “hearing aids,” I have had my “ear opened” to the many sound frequencies that I gradually lost over the years. The loss was so gradual that I kept adjusting to a “new normal” of hearing, not realizing just how much my hearing had changed. With the encouragement of my wife, a recommendation from my family physician, and my own realization that I was having hearing issues, I am now enjoying all the sounds of my world. Watching TV, listening to music, family gatherings and, of course, conversations with my wife have vastly improved.
I cannot say enough about the level of professionalism and patient care I have received from Dr. Keifer. From the very first evaluation visit, through the fitting and tuning of the hearing aids, I have been very satisfied. Numerous questions were answered and everything has been thoroughly explained. And that level of professionalism and friendliness extends to the receptionist, too!
– Frank M., 67, Whitehouse, OH
My experience with getting hearing aids turned out, happily, to be no big deal. Dr. Keifer was pleasant to work with and I would recommend to anyone if you need hearing aids, get them, and see Dr. Keifer.
– Gary A., 67, Toledo, OH
Dr. Keifer and his staff have always been exceptionally personable and engaging. They take every opportunity to ensure that my mother and myself are informed and understand each step of the process and that we are highly aware of the importance of good hearing health. We could not be more appreciative of Dr. Keifer and his staff and recommend him to anyone seeking audiology services.
– Ron S., 57, Metamora, OH
I felt fortunate to have the service of Dr. Clint Keifer for my hearing health care. Dr. Keifer is a very knowledgeable and caring audiologist. I am confident that I am receiving the best care for the treatment for my hearing loss. I would definitely recommend the services of Dr. Keifer to someone with hearing loss/impairment.
– Patricia L., 69, Toledo, OH
We would absolutely recommend Dr. Clint Keifer, Great Lakes Audiology, to everyone! The entire experience from making the initial appointment to ordering and being fitted for the hearing aids along with the 6 week rehab period was an awesome experience! Dr. Keifer was so conscientious to detail in regards to explaining about hearing loss and the many other symptoms that occur because of not being able to hear. He made us feel so comfortable and showed such personal interest and concern in every step in the process of getting my hearing restored to allow me to get back to being involved in social interaction situations that I had been missing out on for a number of years. It is wonderful to be able to hear again.
– William H., 84, Toledo, OH
When I first saw this advertisement [Toledo City Paper Best of Toledo 2017], I thought it would be nice to find a doctor who really “listened.” So I made an appointment and guess what? He really DOES listen!
– Dorothy W., 87, Lambertville, MI
Received a thorough exam with an explanation of each procedure. Great follow up visits. Wonderful relaxed office environment. I highly recommend this practice for your hearing needs.
– Vivian F., 65, Toledo, OH
I was most satisfied with my experience at Great Lakes Audiology. Dr. Keifer was thorough in his testing and willing to work with, and enhance, my current hearing aids. He listened to and addressed all my concerns.
– Kate F., 70, Sylvania, OH
I consider myself rather young to be wearing hearing aids. I felt traumatized when I needed them. After working with Dr. Clint Keifer he helped me work through my anxiety and realize life in hearing aids can be beneficial. He is so understanding and makes you feel like you are his only patient. He is quite knowledgeable and is the best at what he does.
– Judy F., 52, Whitehouse, OH
Dr. Keifer and DeAnne are the best. DeAnne is kind patient and understanding. She is Dr. Keifer’s left hand! Dr. Keifer is well read, and well spoken professional yet down to earth with a sense of humor. Hearing again with Dr. K was the ultimate experience. Hearing aids are cool!
– Connie H., 70, Sylvania, OH
Very satisfied with all of my treatment. The exam was thorough and explanation of the test results was easy to understand. Most happy with my hearing aid.
– Carol H., 77, Wauseon, OH
After countless times of being told I should get my hearing checked, I finally did! The first time I put the hearing aids in reminded me of when I got my first pair of glasses… everything was so bright and crisp, every sound was amazing… never realized how much I was missing! Dr. Keifer was great to work with! Very patient with questions and explaining things simply. DeAnne is the best, too!!
– Cathie H., 61, Toledo, OH
The majority of providers only offer one brand are not very transparent about their suggested unit. Dr. Keifer offers a choice among six brands and will discuss pros and cons about each brand and style. That provides a better understanding about which choice is appropriate and increases your confidence level.
– Tom C., 76, Napoleon, OH
Dr. Keifer is a very experienced professional. Because of his depth of knowledge he was able to select the hearing aids that best filled my needs. He worked closely with me on a personal basis to assure that I was comfortable with and fully understood the hearing aid process. The end result is great. I would describe the entire experience as excellent and highly recommend him for hearing care.
– Gerald H., 78, Lambertville, MI
The office is in a convenient location, and going to Dr. Keifer gives you the happy, knowing feeling that you will always get the best of care!
– Donna, 82, Toledo, OH
From the initial visit it was clear Dr. Keifer was first and foremost interested in improving my hearing not just making a buck. I see a number of doctors for various issues and Dr. Keifer is at the top of the list. He has followed through with what he proposed and improved my hearing greatly. He is concerned about my comfort and quality of life. Dr. Keifer listens carefully to my comments and responds with well thought out advice. I recommend Great Lakes Audiology to anyone with hearing issues. Especially those who may have been fitted with hearing aids and are not pleased with the result!
– Willard R., 62, Perrysburg, OH
A friend of mine got hearing aids through a location that used only technicians and experienced unresolved problems. She and another friend recommended I see an audiologist, but had no one to recommend. I found Great Lakes Audiology and Dr Keifer on the internet, selecting them based on website content and location. I am thrilled with my choice!
Dr. Keifer conducted a thorough exam, listened when I discussed my lifestyle, then made a recommendation for a type of hearing aid based on that information. My results have been wonderful! Just one example – I attended a play and heard every word! Working with Great Lakes Audiology and Dr. Keifer has been a positive experience.
– Sue M., 69, Maumee, OH
Dr. Keifer is the most caring person who is providing a service. I always felt that I was treated as though my experience should have the best possible outcome. Any concerns that I have had were always addressed to my satisfaction and understanding. I would highly recommend Dr. Keifer / Great Lakes Audiology.
– Janet F., 80, Maumee, OH
There is not one negative thing to be said about these folks. Dr. Keifer is such a truly nice person. Very down to Earth. DeAnne is a sweetheart. Wish more people were like them in this day and age.
– Peggy C., Sylvania, OH
I was told [previously] that a hearing aid in my right ear would not help. I was to believe I’d have hearing only in one ear with the help of one hearing aid. It was easier to stay out of conversations with people and isolate myself instead of struggling to hear. You [Dr. Keifer] were persistent that you could help me—I was skeptical, but you did it. The trial hearing aid for 1 month worked. Your expertise and knowledge was amazing. I could actually hear words out of that ear. I’m more confident and outgoing and now volunteer at our local hospital. You gave me my life back. I can’t thank you enough.
– Maryann B., 54, Northwood, OH
What you [Dr. Keifer] have done for my wife is remarkable. She struggled for years. She believed she would never have hearing in her right ear, but you changed that. She can hear out of that ear. Thank you for your commitment and excellence. Her hearing is the best it’s ever been.
– Joseph B. (Maryann’s husband), Northwood, OH
I’m a retired RN with a 25 year history of Meniere’s Disease. In my case, I have bilateral hearing loss. My first set of hearing aids was in 1996 with another audiologist. Then in 2008, post several operations, I met Dr. Keifer. I needed aids again. He has been wonderful, patient, genuinely concerned. He pays attention to details and is an active patient listener. Excellent in his field. I would recommend him to anyone!
– Cindy M., 65, Toledo, OH
I was very impressed with Clint at my last appointment when he remembered my husband’s birthday. That just goes to show how interested he is, not only in his patients but their family as well. He always makes me feel so comfortable and at ease. Cherie is also so pleasant and such a joy.
– Janet S., 72, Northwood, OH
I found the experience to be a major improvement in my life. I was shocked to find the results of my hearing loss but now I am enjoying the world that has opened up to me. I feel the approach of working the aids up to full strength over time was key to me not taking them off in the first week due to the huge change. Even at 70% I felt like the world was yelling at me. I would and have encouraged others to visit [Dr. Keifer’s] practice.
– Trent S., 55, Sylvania, OH
Education, experience and compassion are what I look for in a doctor. Dr. Keifer has all three. He also has patience, explains what he is doing, and is a very caring individual. Thanks Clint!
– Sally L., 74, Wauseon, OH
Simply the best! My son can’t wait for his appointments! He loves sharing stories with Dr. Keifer. I trust that he always has my son’s best interest in mind.
– Lisa D., mother (Ethan, age 9), Toledo, OH
It is very good care and service, very friendly people. I like my hearing aids. [Dr. Keifer] takes time to help you—very good.
– Katherine H., 94, Blissfield, MI
The amount of time that I’ve been with Clint (about 10 years) I’ve come to know and trust him. His knowledge and experience to me is invaluable. I couldn’t see myself going with anyone else. I highly recommend Clint to anyone.
– Larry B., 67, Toledo, OH
What a great experience at finding someone willing to work through all my hearing fears and issues. I am totally pleased to have Clint as my Audiologist because he CARES about all his patients and people feel that from him. My past experiences with a different Audiologist was not good…this one…Exceptional!!
– Marge T., 67, Toledo, OH
When I look for an audiologist, I look for someone who gives me straight talk with true kindness and care. I look for someone who not only considers my ears and hearing, but also cares about my wellbeing—and wants to integrate it with my hearing needs. I look for an audiologist who charges what he deserves, and gives me good care commensurate with his charge. I look for someone with whom I feel comfortable—not intimidated, welcome—not rushed in and out, someone from whom I gain knowledge and training for my problem. I am glad that Dr. Keifer combines these characteristics. Thank you.
– K. A., 73, Bowling Green, OH
I had a previous experience with trying to use a hearing aid, nothing went right and I was very afraid to try again. With Dr. Keifer it was very easy and a pleasant experience.
– Jack T., 82, Oregon, OH
I can’t say enough good things about Great Lakes Audiology. I have worn hearing aids and worked with audiologists for nearly 30 years and I have never encountered such wonderful office staff or such a capable and understanding audiologist. Cherie at the front desk is friendly, helpful and professional. Making appointments is an easy and pleasant experience. Dr. Keifer is amazing. He listens well and is an astute clinician. He has solved problems others couldn’t and has me hearing better than ever before. On every visit he is kind and thoughtful and relaxed. I actually look forward to my appointments because I feel I am going to see my friends. I, without any reservation, recommend this audiology practice.
– Lisa H., 47, Sylvania, OH
I waited sometime without the aids and a friend told me how great Dr. Keifer and his office were so I tried them. And oh!!–how happy I am with these. They help me hear so much better and especially (with) the training given while using these.
– Beulah G., 81, Adrian, MI
I purchased my first hearing aids from another audiologist four years ago. I did not like them from the first day. After several attempts to re-adjust settings that did not improve my objections I stopped wearing them. I was referred to Dr. Keifer by my son-in-law. Dr. Keifer fitted me with a mid level Phonak brand. On the way home I turned on my classical music station I thought I was in a concert hall.
– Thomas O., 81, Sylvania, OH
I had put the hearing test off for years. I wish now I would have done it a lot sooner. I missed out on so much. It is great to hear people talking and knowing what they were saying, hearing the birds sing, and understanding the talk coming from the grandchildren. It was very moving to me. The whole experience has been great. Dr. Keifer is so outgoing and nice. Cherie the receptionist has been a big help working on appointments for me and friendly also.
– Kathy R. , 72, Temperance, MI
From the initial greeting and the audio testing that followed, I was completely made comfortable through the whole process. I was properly educated and trained to perform the necessary maintenance and proper care of the hearing devices. From the very beginning to the end, it was a very pleasant experience.
– Charles M., 81, Ida, MI
A year ago when I decided it was time for hearing aids I interviewed numerous providers including national chain and private practitioner. I was becoming disillusioned until I met Dr. Clint Keifer. Unlike the others, Dr. Keifer was not there to “sell me something”. It was obvious that his primary goal was to educate so that I could make an informed decision. He outlined the realistic expectations with hearing aids and patiently answered my many questions. He explained in detail the results of my hearing test and the pros and cons of various hearing aids. It is rare to find a medical professional who would spend so much time with you to ensure patient satisfaction.
– Minda W., 69, Toledo, OH
I received personal attention, questions answered, and willingness to go back over things if I didn’t understand at first. I received choices of styles of hearing aids and benefits or drawbacks of each for my situation, not just trying to sell the most expensive whether best choice or not. Dr. Keifer made sure of fit and comfort and had willingness to answer questions, etc. Thanks—big difference! I can actually hear now!
– Linda F., 64, Metamora, OH
From my informal meeting with Dr. Keifer at the Sylvania Business Expo, I knew he was who I wanted to work with to help me with my hearing loss. He understood my concerns about making sure I would be comfortable wearing and using the devices. He offered several options and suggested a product that provides me optimum hearing health. I am very happy with my “new ears”!
– Joan N., 61, Hudson, MI
When I first thought that I might be having problems with my hearing, I made up my mind that I wanted an audiologist who cared as much as my medical doctor. I searched the internet and decided that I did not want a major hearing aid corporation or even a “box store” examination for my hearing. Hearing clearly was not something that I would take lightly. I chose Great Lakes Audiology for my testing not knowing what to expect. I was amazed at the thoroughness of the exam. Dr. Keifer was great explaining the results and importance of hearing well. He solved my problem and I would highly recommend to anyone.
– Howard G., 65, Sylvania, OH
The knowledge Dr. Keifer has shows in everything he does. His personality and care is a comfort in what could be an uncomfortable situation. I would recommend him (and have) to everyone.
– Karen D., 59, Toledo, OH
Dr. Keifer is very friendly and easy to talk to. He explains everything clearly and answers all of your questions. He is willing to work with you and decide what is best for you. His receptionist is also very friendly and helpful with making follow up appointments that work for you.
– Julia B., 76, Lambertville, MI.
I cannot thank Great Lakes Audiology~ Dr. Clint Keifer and of course DeAnne for getting me in so quickly! Dr. Keifer was able to “save” me from having to get new hearing aids! The current ones were only 3 years old and rarely used-the audiology team in St. Louis where I was treated couldn’t get them to work. Since just moving here a short time ago and not employed yet, that was critical to save money-especially with no insurance yet. I can hear excellent now, Dr. Keifer was extremely professional in his exam, teaching and vestibular education handouts too! 5 STARS FOR SURE!!!
– Deborah K., 63, Perrysburg, OH.
DeAnne is very friendly all of the time, Dr. Keifer is as well. They are both the epitome of patient, respectful, professional and still make you feel like a close friend throughout every appointment. I recommend them highly to everyone.
– Annette S., 59, Oregon, OH.
From the reception through the hearing tests and being fitted for hearing aids. I was treated with kindness, patience and respect. I will continue to recommend Dr. Keifer to friends and family. I found the cost of everything to be very affordable. Thank you for such a good experience.
– Susan S., 68, Lambertville, MI
After having my hearing aids checked, I now do not mind wearing them every day. At first I was not happy to have to come in 3 times, but it was worth it. Also to keep up with the maintenance. This office was nothing like the other one I went to. These people made you feel right at home. They always had a smile on their face and didn’t just hurry you in and out. They took time for you.
-Edithann L, 78, Swanton OH
My Experience with GLA has been extremely positive. Dr. Keifer and DeAnne are both professional, yet friendly and welcoming. I feel as if I’ve known them for years. Dr. Keifer truly cares about his patients, helping them, and works with them to find hearing aids to suit their needs and budget. I will definitely recommend GLA to family and friends.
– Janice W., 59, Whitehouse, OH.
First of all, when you walk in the receptionist could not be any more friendly.
Dr. Keifer is very friendly and takes a lot of time with you.
He listens to everything you have to say, he also goes over all the different hearing aids he has, and makes you comfortable in the one you pick. He also has you come back after about two weeks to see how you are doing.
– Beverly W., 81, Holland, OH.
The office is very friendly and kind. Dr. Keifer listens attentively to the patient’s needs and concerns. There is no high pressure sales to put you in hearing aids. Dr. Keifer recommends the best device for a patient’s needs and personality.
– Laura J., 61, Swanton, OH.
Dr. Keifer and his staff are very professional, but at the same time have been so friendly and kind that I feel they have become friends.
Dr. Keifer never makes me feel rushed. He always spends as much time with me as needed to make sure I am comfortable.
I would highly recommend him for your hearing needs.
– Stan S., 74, Sylvania, OH.
I highly recommend GLA. I was reluctant to pursue hearing aids but GLA demonstrated the need & provided an excellent solution.
– Thomas S., 65, Monroe, MI.
While Google searching area Audiologists I came across the Great Lakes website. I found it to be quite impressive. As the saying goes, “You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.” Thus, a call to GLA. Dr. Keifer and his staff lived up to their positive “first impression.”
Having had rudimentary hearing tests over the years I anticipated something somewhat similar with GLA. Not so. The physical and auditory exam was very thorough and enlightening. Dr. Keifer gave easy to understand explanations of the various indicators in my test results. This, in addition to the different options he suggested for different options he suggested for different hearing aids, their different functional options and our financial investment.
My wife is a sign language interpreter so she was able to ask hearing issue questions and assist us in the decision we made for the aid that would best suite my condition.
We would highly recommend Great Lakes Audiology as we are very pleased with the result.
One caveat: An Audiologist is not able to assist one with “selective hearing” issues.
– Larry L., 83, Holland, OH.
I especially like at age 91 I get the personal attention there. It is nice to have the time spent with me. So glad to call this my “hearing” home.
– Patricia E., 91, Sylvania, OH.
Dr. Keifer should be the first doctor you go to. You won’t have to go anywhere else! It’s been over 2 months and I’m very pleased how my hearing has improved and I don’t have to listen to my family tell me to get my hearing checked! No complaints. Thanks Dr. Keifer!
