William D
I’ve had hearing aids for quite awhile and had older “top of the line” aids but was blown away at the service and improvement in my new pair. Rivanna hearing took the time and effort to ensure I got the maximum benefit from my experience with them. Quite impressed with the foresight and ongoing service they offer as part of the purchase experience too! The whole experience is set up to ensure value for now and for the future!
Richard C
Our experience at Rivanna Hearing Center has been wonderful. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and Dr. Kershner (Dawn) has been especially kind and patient with my father and our entire family. She is highly knowledgeable about hearing loss and took the time to explain the best solutions for my father in a way that was clear and easy to understand. We truly appreciate all of her help.
Charlene S
Dawn was friendly and highly professional. She explained all that she was testing to put me at ease. However, the most important reason I will go back is her honesty. She told me I had some hearing loss but not enough that hearing aids would help significantly. There will be a day that I need them and because I know she will tell me truthfully when that day comes, I will be back to do my business with her.

I had an appointment for a 6-month checkup at Rivanna Hearing Center on Thursday, April 2, with Dr Dawn Cooper. Dr Cooper updated my hearing aids so I could hear better, changed the filters, and answered any questions I had.

Rivanna Hearing is a wonderful practice that ensures you get the best audiology results at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend!
Robert S
I had the opportunity to visit with Dr. Cooper because my hearing aids were not working properly. I thought they probably needed a good cleaning and may have needed their receivers replaced. Dr. Cooper very quickly and thoroughly cleaned them and they are working wonderfully now. She charged a very modest and reasonable fee for her services. I am very satisfied with Dr. Cooper and her hearing center. I recommend Rivanna Hearing Center to anyone with hearing issues or with hearing aids that are not functioning properly.
M C
So far, so great! I consider myself a younger patient, so it was intimidating to get hearing aids. Dawn offers the best on the market, is highly experienced and calmly talks you through how everything should work. She put me at ease and I feel supported by her to improve my hearing! Highly Recommend, value is on point.

I switched to this office because it was closer to home not knowing I’d be oh so glad for more reasons than that. Dr Kershner is kind and gentle while being pleasant, professional and practical. And Eve is wonderful; so knowledgeable and much more than just a receptionist. I recently had one of the filter covers of my hearing aid come off staying inside my ear! I didn’t think this could be and thought Eve would think me crazy but called anyway - sure enough that was the case; I was reassured and Dr Kershner was so gentle. It took her about 3 tries but she got it and I was assured that this does happen and I should call anytime I have a question. I LOVE this office!
