TESTIMONIALS

"As a result of John's gifts, his dedication, and his use of non-traditional methodology, our two severly hearing impaired children are able to function normally. John began training them when they were in diapers and they have now graduated from college, are married and few people are even aware of their impairment. John has been God's miracle to us"

Parents of Austin and Laura

"It seems I've become a salesman for your services as well as Widex's latest hearing aid the Senso Diva... I absolutely love my new Diva aides!"

Roger Moss,
A patient
Knoxville, TN

"The best thing I can tell you about the Senso Diva is it approximates my normal hearing that I used to have... and I appreciate the fact that John Berry takes personal interest in me."

Dr. Homer Isbell,
Retired physician
Maryville, TN

"In the Bible there is a quotation - ""He who has ears to hear, let him hear."" John Berry has taken that statement to a resounding level at Blount Hearing and Speech Services.

The Hearing and Speech Foundation has made it possible for so many individuals to obtain and often restore their ability to hear even if they cannot afford the costs of evaluation and the hearing aid equipment. I have personal first-hand experience of John’s devotion and spiritual motivation for what he does so well. Knowing John has motivated me to try to be of service to others."
