Meet the People Behind Your Hearing Care

Take a look inside our practice and meet your hearing care team. Our welcome video introduces what to expect at your first visit, from discussing your concerns to reviewing your results and next steps.

  • 5+ years of professional care

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

Hearing changes can be gradual. If these experiences sound familiar, a hearing evaluation can help you understand why.

  • Asking for repeats

    You often need someone to say something again.

  • Missing the words

    You can hear someone talking, but you don’t catch the words.

  • Working harder in noise

    Restaurants, parties, car rides, or family gatherings take effort and can leave you tired.

  • Turning up the volume

    Other people say the TV or phone is too loud.

  • Ringing or buzzing

    Ringing, buzzing, humming, or hissing may accompany a change in hearing.

  • Aids that aren’t helping

    Your hearing aids never sounded quite right, or they’re sitting in a drawer.

Not every hearing concern calls for hearing aids. If your hearing is within normal limits, we’ll tell you.

Hearing aid fitting & follow-up

Hearing aids fitted to your hearing.

If hearing aids are right for you, we check how they work in your ears and fine-tune them to your hearing test.

Every ear is different. Real Ear Measurement checks the sound your hearing aid delivers against targets from your own hearing test.

  1. Measure

    A thin probe tube measures sound in your ear.

  2. Adjust

    We fine-tune the hearing aid toward your individual targets.

  3. Check again

    We measure again after adjustments and check loud sounds for comfort.

Real Ear Measurement: checking sound in your ear

A thin probe-microphone tube sits in your ear canal beside the hearing aid. We measure sound near your eardrum at soft, average and loud levels, compare it with targets calculated from your own hearing test, and fine-tune the fitting.

Two people with the same hearing test results, hearing aids and software settings can receive different sound in their ear canals. Software defaults use average ear-canal values; Real Ear Measurement checks what reaches your individual ear. It verifies the fitting and cannot promise perfect hearing. Hearing aids do not remove all background noise.

Device checked before every fitting

Electroacoustic Analysis is a separate test-box check of the hearing aid's output, amplification and distortion against the manufacturer's specifications before every fitting. It checks device performance and does not replace Real Ear Measurement.

Follow-up care

Visits over the first few weeks help fine-tune your fit. A professional deep cleaning every six months is recommended for hearing aid users.

HearingUp Certified Provider

Jaysee belongs to the provider network founded by Dr. Cliff Olson. Its providers are personally reviewed and commit to best practices, including Real Ear Measurement.

Choice across six manufacturers

Recommendations reflect your hearing test, lifestyle, budget and preferences. We fit Phonak, Oticon, ReSound, Signia, Starkey and Widex.

5+ years of professional care

Follow-up adjustments and professional cleaning, included with hearing aids purchased from our office at every technology level.

Hearing technology matched to your hearing and lifestyle.

Hearing aid brands: Phonak, Oticon, ReSound, Signia, Starkey and Widex

Hearing tests

Ear checks and sound-booth testing for adults of all ages. Most evaluations are complimentary; call to confirm any costs that may apply.

See what your evaluation includes

Hearing aid fittings

A verified fitting and follow-up adjustments tailored to your needs. Hearing aids do not restore natural hearing or remove all background noise.

Options reflect your hearing, lifestyle, preferences and budget. We program your hearing aids to targets calculated from your hearing test and verify the fitting with Real Ear Measurement. Follow-up visits help fine-tune your fit. The adjustment period varies; familiar sounds and your own voice may seem different at first.

How we check your fitting

Real Ear Measurement

We measure hearing aid output in your ear canal and compare it with targets from your hearing test, then adjust and check again. Software defaults use average ear-canal values; this checks the sound in your own ear.

Explore verified fittings

Hearing aid repair

Support for most major hearing-aid brands, including aids bought elsewhere. Some repairs need factory service; same-day repair is not guaranteed.

We troubleshoot, clean, program and repair hearing aids. Many small repairs—battery doors, receivers, tubing, domes and filters—can be handled in our office. We also use professional drying for moisture. Moisture inside the case, a cracked shell or a failed circuit board may require factory service, which we coordinate with the manufacturer.

A professional deep cleaning about every six months is recommended to help address moisture and earwax before they cause a repair.

Earwax removal

Ear checks and gentle warm-water removal. Suitability is checked first: irrigation is not right for every ear, and an ENT referral may be needed.

We examine your ears with a video otoscope, so you can see the image on screen. Ear surgery, ear tubes, a perforated eardrum or a recent infection can mean irrigation is unsuitable. We screen first and refer to an ENT when needed. Suitable ears can be treated with warmed water at controlled low pressure.

Tinnitus

Hearing evaluation and options for managing tinnitus. There is no universal cure; relief varies and specialized referral may be needed.

We discuss ways to reduce the impact of ringing, buzzing, hissing or pulsing sounds. When hearing loss is also present, hearing aids with built-in sound-therapy features may help make tinnitus less noticeable. We refer you to other providers for specialized tinnitus care when appropriate.

Mobile hearing services

Toni offers evaluations and fittings at home or care facilities in Greater Orlando when travel is difficult. Call for costs and availability; some tests require office equipment.

“They weren't just focused on selling a hearing aid; they were truly committed to finding the best solution for my hearing needs and lifestyle.”

Teri YanovitchExcerpt from a Google review

I had an outstanding experience at Altamonte Hearing Center. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Jaycee is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive—taking the time to thoroughly explain every step of the hearing evaluation process. What really stood out was how personalized the service felt by both Jaycee and Francesca. They weren't just focused on selling a hearing aid; they were truly committed to finding the best solution for my hearing needs and lifestyle. If you're looking for a place where you'll be treated like a person, not just a patient, Altamonte Hearing Center is the place to go. I can't recommend them highly enough!

“took the time to clearly explain the results in a way that we could all understand.”

Philip ZeitlerExcerpt from a Google review

We had an excellent experience with Altamonte Family Hearing, and I can't thank them enough for the care they provided my dad. Jaysee Soto was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. He spent a great deal of time performing very thorough hearing tests and, just as importantly, took the time to clearly explain the results in a way that we could all understand. When it came time to set up and program my dad's new high-end ReSound hearing aids, Jaysee was incredibly patient and detail-oriented, making sure everything was perfectly tuned to my dad's needs. He also went above and beyond by showing my dad how to operate the hearing aids through his phone once they were paired, which gave him a lot of confidence using them.

“I have several hearing aids that don't work and don't fit, but Jaysee found the perfect match for me.”

Jaysee Soto gave me back my hearing! I have several hearing aids that don't work and don't fit, but Jaysee found the perfect match for me. To determine my hearing concerns, I had a extensive exam that went far beyond my other hearing exams, leading to hearing aids that are comfortable and actually work. The office staff is professional and accomodating. They worked with my insurance to get me the best price on my hearing aids. I highly recommend Altamonte Family Hearing.

They have the in the ear measuring capability that allows them to actually see in the device they have in your ear is actually picking up the sounds that you need.

You really matter to them and they have invested the training and resources for state-of-the art equipment necessary to provide you with the absolute best care available.

“I really felt heard and cared for by the staff! Thank you so much! Your help has made a HUGE impact on my life.”

Emily PaloExcerpt from a Google review

I want to start this review by saying this has by far been the best experience I have had with healthcare. About a month ago, I came across them by googling places that can repair hearing aids. I called them 5 minutes before closing time and they happily answered my call for help and immediately re-assured me that things can be fixed. I came in today during the walk-in hours and showed them the aids and the issue. I was greeted by Jaysee and he re-assured me that things can be fixed, and all the same day! The staff are very friendly and helpful. I had mentioned that getting hearing aids has been hard and they immediately wanted to help with a solution. I really felt heard and cared for by the staff! Thank you so much! Your help has made a HUGE impact on my life. This is absolutely the place to go!!!!

Dr.Soto provided exceptional care for my mother's hearing needs. From the moment we arrived, he and his team were professional, patient, and compassionate. They took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure my mother fully understood her options and felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. The service was outstanding, and my mother is absolutely thrilled with her new hearing aids. The improvement has made a tremendous difference in her daily life. I highly recommend Dr. Soto, especially to the Spanish-speaking community. Being able to communicate in Spanish made my mother feel at ease and well cared for. Dr. De Soto is truly amazing, and we are very grateful for his expertise and kindness. Thank you

Your Hearing Care Questions, Answered

Clear answers about your visit, your options and the care we provide.

Planning your visit

Is there a charge for a hearing evaluation?

Most hearing evaluations are complimentary. Call our office at 407-537-4404 for details and to confirm any costs that may apply.

Do you accept insurance?

We accept many insurance plans, but coverage for hearing aids varies from plan to plan. Bring your insurance card to your visit and we'll check your benefits for you, or call us with your plan details beforehand.

Will I need hearing aids?

Not every hearing concern calls for hearing aids. After your evaluation, we explain your results and the options that may suit you. If your hearing is within normal limits, we'll tell you.

Do you offer home visits?

Yes. Toni offers evaluations and fittings at home or in a care facility across Greater Orlando when reaching the office is difficult. Call us for cost and availability. Some tests require in-office equipment, so home testing may not include everything a sound-booth evaluation can.

Can my visit be in Spanish?

Sí. Ofrecemos evaluaciones auditivas, formularios y recursos en español. Jaysee is bilingual, and your whole visit can be in Spanish. Our Patient Care Coordinators, Grace and Francesca, are bilingual in English and Spanish too.

Who will provide my care, and are you part of a chain?

We’re independent and family-owned. You’ll see Jaysee Soto (HAS, BC-HIS) or Toni Trager (HAS), both Florida-licensed Hearing Aid Specialists. They are not audiologists or physicians, and they refer you to a physician, ENT or other specialist when your care falls outside their scope.

Grace Soto and Francesca Natal, our Patient Care Coordinators, help with scheduling and forms.

Your hearing and hearing aids

Can you help with hearing aids I bought somewhere else?

Yes. We clean, troubleshoot, program and repair hearing aids from most major manufacturers, including ones purchased from other providers, and we can verify a fitting with Real Ear Measurement.

Some problems require factory repair, which we coordinate with the manufacturer. Our walk-in hour for cleanings and minor repairs is Monday to Friday, 1:00 to 2:00 pm.

How long does it take to get used to new hearing aids?

It varies from person to person. Familiar sounds and your own voice may seem different at first. Regular use and follow-up visits help as you adjust.

Can hearing aids help with tinnitus?

When tinnitus comes with hearing loss, hearing aids, including models with built-in sound-therapy features, may help make it less noticeable. There is no universal cure for tinnitus, and the amount of relief varies. We refer you to other providers for specialized tinnitus care when needed.

If your tinnitus started suddenly, is in one ear only, or pulses in time with your heartbeat, see a physician promptly. Tinnitus with sudden severe vertigo is a medical emergency.

What if my problem is just earwax?

Symptoms alone can't tell you whether wax is the cause, which is why we look in your ears before testing. We'll explain whether wax can be removed safely in our office or whether you should see another provider.

Please avoid cotton swabs in the ear canal, which can push wax deeper. Ear candling doesn't reliably remove earwax and can cause burns or other injuries.

What should I do if my hearing changes suddenly?

Sudden hearing loss, or tinnitus with sudden severe vertigo, is a medical emergency. Seek immediate medical care. Don't wait for a routine hearing evaluation.
