Great experience from start to finish. Very prompt response for scheduling. Exceptional customer service over the phone and in clinic. The staff is very professional and made me feel very welcome and cared for. Staff ran my insurance and worked out all the details for my hearing aid - it was a very quick process and all I had to do was show up for my appointments. My hearing aid fitting was super easy. Dr. Chris Norwood answered all of my questions and even helped me connect my hearing aid to the app on my phone and walked me through all the settings for my hearing aid. I would highly recommend Dr. Chris Norwood and the team at Evergreen Speech and Hearing. Thank you

Everyone there was the best.Jeannie in the office was super helpful in getting my son a referral that was unnecessarily difficult and frustrating and was excellent about keeping us informed about how that was going.Dr Norwood the audiologist started my sons appointment right on time and took the time to clearly and thoroughly explain the slightly complicated ear condition and personally spent a lot of time after the appointment on the phone to get my son an expedited exam at another clinic.The only thing that I would change would to brighten up the area outside the acoustic exam chamber where the audiologists work and talk to patients. It is dreary and looks a little like a solitary-confinement cell at a prison. A little paint and artwork would go a long way.

From the first communication regarding setting an appointment to my first appointment here everyone was so kind. I never felt rushed or like I was just another number. I was given thorough instructions and they have worked hard to get me in as soon as possible. Jeannie- seriously the best.For my first vestibular test my audiologist was Chris Norwood he was so kind and patient. I showed up a little early for my appointment and he was able to see me a little early. I have always been very sensitive with my ears and my test involved a tiny sensor being placed next to my ear drum while holding perfectly still. He was very calm and reassuring as I wiggled and giggled and slightly panicked Im not going to lie the sensor tickled going in. He explained everything to me so I didnt panic about something being so close to my ear drum. I never felt rushed even when we had to replace the sensor for a better reading like I said it tickled and I am a wiggle worm. He was wonderfulEvery time I have called into the office either before or after my first appointment Jeannie knew who I was once I said my name. I have never experienced being remembered by name at a doctors office. It was the first time that I felt truly like a person not a chart number. Saying I would recommend them is an understatement. I wouldnt be seen by anyone else. I trust them with my care completely.

My ENT ordered a hearing test at Evergreen Speech and Hearing as he stated I can always read and trust their test results. Setting up an appointment was easy forms filled out ahead of time electronically. I arrived about 15 minutes early but was taken in 10 minutes ahead of schedule. The Audiologist explained everything very well and conducted the tests that my ENT asked for. At the end I received a report and they sent the report to my Doc. Everything went very well and I was completely satisfied with the experience. Id highly recommend Evergreen Speech Hearing Clinic.

They know what they are doing and very efficient. They also checked my insurance to let me know that based on my insurance I could get my hearing aids free but that I had to get them through another agency. Told me to call them back if I dont find anything that works for me.

Excellent Service and AccommodatingOn June 30 in about 10-12 hours I lost my hearing in the right ear and after seeing my regular doctor on June 31 ESHC was able to see me the same day.The test results proved that my hearing was gone but it helped me see a specialist the next day. After taking steroids for 10 straight days I went back to ESHC on September 11 and my hearing is back to normal. Thank you

I was very happy with my experience at Evergreen Speech and Hearing. The staff is very friendly and professional. The offices are clean and pleasant. Following my hearing test the results were explained to me very clearly and my options including some very important information that I was not aware of were clearly explained.I would highly recommend their services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like:
responding to questions
starting or ending conversation
changing conversation topics
using gestures like pointing
understanding other people's body language
Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. There is a critical period in the brain for language development and so, it's really important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals.
It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don't speak at all.
Spot speech and language delays like a doctor here.
The goal of speech therapy is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. This may take the form of using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Some other common things speech therapists can help with:
Nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures
Forming speech in a clearer way
Communicating thoughts and feelings clearly
Understanding and responding to questions
Discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions
Noticing and understanding body language
Feeding and swallowing
Stuttering
“Early Intervention” might be the provider’s way of describing services that they provide to babies or young children. However, it might also indicate that the provider is a vendor for your state’s publicly funded program. This means the services with this provider might be covered by your state!
The first step in accessing these free services from your state is to get an evaluation. The evaluation will help the state determine what services your child qualifies for, if any. You can find your state’s local EI program by clicking here.
When you contact your local center, say “I have concerns about my child’s development and I would like to have my child evaluated to find out if they are eligible for early intervention services.” They will ask screening questions and arrange for an evaluation, which is provided for free.
Get involved with local organizations, support groups, and professionals specializing in those hard of hearing. They can offer guidance, resources, and opportunities for your kiddo’s development. The more you know, the better you can support your child.
Here are some suggestions to get you started:
Hands & Voices is a parent-driven, nonprofit organization that provides unbiased support, regarding communication methodology and technology, to families with deaf or hard of hearing children.
Gallaudet University — Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center is a federally funded institution offering exemplary academic programs to deaf/HoH students. They provide early intervention services, sign language classes, and uniquely designed resources for deaf/HoH communities.
Hearing Loss Association of America is a nonprofit organization with a mission to open the world of communication to people with hearing loss by providing information, education, support, and advocacy.
