Michael J. Smith, BC-HIS
Welcome to Hearing Aid Rehab of Pasco and Hernando Counties. My name is Michael Smith, and I am a board-certified hearing instrument specialist.

I have been working within the hearing industry for over half a decade and believe that the first step in a patient being able to hear better is admitting that there is a hearing problem, as once a patient comes to terms with this he/she is
much more likely to actively participate in the hearing aid process.

Unfortunately putting on a hearing aid is unlike putting on a pair of glasses; wearing a hearing aid requires rehabilitation, which is customized to each patient depending on their lifestyle. You, the patient, must be willing to actively participate with this rehab process in order to help ensure your success. You must “learn” to hear again. We believe that auditory training is the key to success when learning how to hear again. Over the past few years, I have been working on creating the best auditory training tools to help you get your life back in the world of communication. Along with you, I will never give up on reaching this goal; it takes time and patience.

If you experience any of the following symptoms contact me for a free hearing evaluation:

  • Muffled hearing.
  • Difficulty understanding what people are saying, especially when there is a lot of background noise such as when you are in a restaurant or listing to the television. You may be able to hear someone speaking, but you cannot distinguish the specific words.
  • Listening to the television or radio at higher volume than previously.
  • Avoiding conversation and social interaction. As social situations can be tiring and stressful if you do not hear well, you may begin to avoid those situations as hearing becomes more difficult.
  • Finding yourself repeatedly asking family and friends to repeat what they say.

If you feel you experience any of the above list of symptoms, please contact me for a FREE hearing evaluation. I can be reached at 352-666-3006 or use my contact page to set up an appointment.


What you can expect from me:

  • Free hearing evaluation in your home or our office
  • If after testing you are found to need a hearing aid, you will receive expert advice on which aid will best meet your needs
  • A 30-day money-back guarantee
  • Ongoing rehabilitation visits (home or office) until you have reached set goals and continued care as long as needed
  • A person who truly cares about his patients
