We have some exciting news to share with the Sarasota community.
The Hearing Spa has been named a Gold Winner for Best Audiologist Hearing Care Practice in the 2026 Best of SRQ Local Readers Awards by SRQ Magazine. This award is voted on entirely by readers — real people across Sarasota — and that's what makes it mean so much to us.
Last year, we were honored to take home the Bronze in the same category. This year, Gold. We don't take that progression lightly.
What the Best of SRQ Award Actually Means
SRQ Magazine's Best of SRQ Local is one of the most recognized reader choice competitions in the Sarasota area. Every vote comes from someone in this community — a neighbor, a patient, a friend of a patient, someone who's had a real experience with a local business and wanted to say something about it.
Winning Bronze last year was meaningful. Winning Gold this year tells us that the work we've put in — the extra time with patients, the continued investment in technology, the commitment to best-practice care — is being noticed. And that's genuinely encouraging.
Why We Think Our Patients Keep Coming Back
Honestly? We believe it comes down to how we approach care.
Every patient who walks through our door gets a thorough evaluation from one of our Doctors of Audiology. Not a rushed screen. Not a quick "try this device and see how it goes." A real, comprehensive assessment of what's happening with their hearing — and an honest conversation about what the options are.
Dr. Victoria Moore has been serving Sarasota for over 20 years. Dr. Jennifer Steed brings decades of clinical experience, including work with veterans and in large ENT settings. And Noel Moore rounds out our team with deep expertise in hearing instrument sciences. Together, we cover a lot of ground — from diagnostic evaluations to cochlear implant mapping, BAHA programming, tinnitus management, and hearing aid fittings across all major brands.
We're also proud to be part of the Dr. Cliff HearingUp Network, which means we've committed to following evidence-based best practice protocols. That's not just a badge — it's a standard we hold ourselves to every day.
Sarasota Has Trusted Us Since 1981
That's not a line we throw around casually. Gulf Coast residents have been choosing The Hearing Spa for their hearing care for over 40 years. Families come back. Patients refer their spouses, their parents, their coworkers. And those relationships mean everything to us.
When someone trusts you with something as personal as their hearing, they're trusting you with how they connect to the world — conversations with their grandchildren, music they love, the ability to participate fully in their own lives. We don't forget that.
Hearing Care That Goes Beyond Hearing Aids
One thing we hear a lot from new patients is that they didn't realize how much we offer. Yes, we fit and program hearing aids from leading brands like Phonak, Oticon, ReSound, Signia, and Widex. But we're also one of the few private audiology practices in the area providing cochlear implant services — working with all three FDA-approved cochlear implant manufacturers for patients whose hearing loss goes beyond what traditional hearing aids can address.
We also offer earwax removal, real ear measurements, BAHA programming, and tinnitus management. If it involves your hearing health, there's a good chance we can help.
Thank You, Sarasota
Awards like this one don't happen without the people who vote for us — and those people are largely our patients and their families. So if you've ever referred someone to us, left a kind word, or taken the time to cast a vote, thank you. Genuinely.
We don't do this work for the recognition. But it's a real reminder that what we're doing is making a difference, and that the Sarasota community sees it.
