In the August 23rd, 2026 newspaper edition, the Tampa Bay Times announced that Gardner Audiology won Best of the Best (Gold) in two categories; Audiologist and Hearing Aid Centers. Their Tampa location was a driving force for winning these awards. The Tampa Doctor of Audiology team helps thousands of Tampa Bay residents improve the quality of their lives with the best possible hearing. These patients showed their thanks by voting for Gardner Audiology. There are multiple reasons why the Tampa Gardner Audiology location was voted the Best.
Gardner Audiology works with most insurance plans. They are better and different because they accept and help patients optimize their insurance if benefits are available. This is not typical in the hearing industry as many private practices and corporate hearing aid centers do whatever they can to dodge your insurance by offering what they say is a comparable deal. At Gardner Audiology, an excellent insurance team verifies your benefits prior to your appointment. An Audiology team will review your coverage and discuss options that align with your individual difficulties and preferences.
Another reason Gardner’s Tampa location is the best is because they perform Real Ear Measurements on all their patients. Real Ear Measurement (REM) is a verification test completed at all hearing aid fittings to verify the hearing aids are appropriately programmed. A thin microphone tube is placed in the ear canal alongside the hearing aid. The audiologist performs this procedure to prescribe and adjust different output levels of sound to match specific hearing losses. REM is considered an industry standard; however, statistics show that only about 30% of hearing aid providers provide it. The Tampa Gardner Audiology location can perform real ear measurements on any hearing aid even if it was purchased elsewhere.
The Tampa location, as well as Gardner’s other 7 locations, has the lowest hearing aid prices for those who do not have hearing aid benefits. They can prescribe and fit national brand hearing aids for as low as $590 each. They have the ability to loan out some brands of aids for home trial with no obligation to buy the loaner aids (Field Study). If you wear hearing aids or think you might want to try them, Gardner Audiology’s Tampa location on Gunn highway is a good place to go for a trustworthy second opinion or first-time evaluation.
Gardner offers high-quality services from Doctor of Audiology Teams, instead of salesmen. A hearing evaluation is the first step in determining whether hearing aids may be appropriate for you. Call the Tampa location at 1-813-265-2255. You can also schedule online.
