We’re honored to be voted Raleigh’s Best Audiology & Hearing Clinic for 2025—our fifth consecutive win!
Every day, we meet people who share a familiar story: a loved one struggling to hear, countless hours and dollars spent on hearing aids, and yet… the problem isn’t fixed. It’s frustrating—and we feel that frustration too. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to be this way.
No one should have poor hearing after investing in quality hearing aids. That’s why our mission is simple—help every patient hear their absolute best.
As an independent audiology practice, we deliver exceptional patient care, expert hearing aid programming, and solutions that truly work. Winning Raleigh’s Best for 5 years in a row is proof that our dedication pays off.
Experience the best hearing care in Raleigh—along with affordable, effective hearing aids tailored to you.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
HEARING DEVICES
With advanced hearing devices and state-of-the-art programming, our patients hear better than ever-even with hearing aids purchased elsewhere. By working with all seven global hearing aid manufacturers, we find the perfect fit for every patient and budget. Our services also include bone anchored hearing aids and cochlear implant counseling giving patients more options than ever before when traditional aids are not the right solution.
ADVANCED HEARING TESTING
These days, basic hearing tests are everywhere—even online—but they only scratch the surface. They can’t explain why you hear well in quiet but struggle in noisy settings. At our clinic, we go further with specialized speech-in-noise testing and advanced Otoacoustic Emissions technology to assess how your ears filter sound and detect inner ear damage. The more we learn, the more precisely we can tailor your treatment and program your hearing aids for your unique needs.
REAL EAR MEASURES THE KEY TO HEARING AID PROGRAMMING
Real Ear Measurements (REM) ensure your hearing aids deliver the clearest, most comfortable sound by matching programming to your exact hearing prescription and ear canal shape. Now Hear This® is one of the few Triangle practices that performs REM with every fitting—because without it, programming relies on guesswork instead of your ear’s unique acoustic “fingerprint.” We can utilize REM on hearing aids purchased elsewhere, so feel free to come our way for a second opinion!
ELECTROACOUSTIC ANALYSIS
THE KEY TO HEARING AID REPAIR
Electroacoustic Analysis (EAA) is a specialized test that shows exactly how a hearing aid is performing—often spotting problems patients mistake for worsening hearing loss. Few providers use it, but it’s the only way to confirm a device is working like new, with proper volume, full frequency range, clear sound, working microphones, and normal battery life. EAA helps us catch issues early, ensure timely repairs, and keep our patients hearing their best.
TINNITUS TREATMENTS
Tinnitus—often described as ringing in the ears— can be easily ignored by some and can be debilitating for others. Though there’s no cure, effective treatments can make the “noise” manageable. At Now Hear This®, our Doctors of Audiology take the time to understand each patient’s unique experience and create a personalized treatment plan to help them return to living their best life.
Raleigh is a city that continues to thrive — a place where innovation, culture, and Southern charm come together to create one of the most dynamic communities in the region. From its cutting-edge tech sector and diverse dining scene to its vibrant arts, music, and familyfriendly neighborhoods, Raleigh offers something for everyone while retaining the warmth and pride of a true hometown.
That’s why The News & Observer created Raleigh’s Best — to recognize and celebrate the businesses, people, and places that mean the most to our community, as chosen by you.
This year, over 4,700 businesses, organizations, and individuals competed across 237 categories, and the community responded in record numbers. More than 366,000 votes were cast — a 189% increase year-over-year — a powerful reflection of the pride residents have in uplifting their favorite local businesses and the essential role they play in shaping Raleigh’s identity.
A program of this scale requires the dedication of a hardworking local team, the commitment of participating businesses, and the generous support of our advertisers. We are proud to bring Raleigh’s Best to life again and to showcase the individuals and organizations that were voted the very best in their categories.
We invite you to explore VotedRaleighsBest.com and celebrate this year’s winners. Some may already be familiar favorites, while others may be new discoveries — but all represent the excellence and community spirit that make Raleigh shine.
Congratulations to the 2025 winners of Raleigh’s Best, and thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and celebrate the very best of our community!
Enjoy!
THE KURTZ & BLUM WAY
COMPASSION IN LAW
When clients come to Kurtz & Blum, they are usually in the midst of a challenging time in their lives. Many come to us for help with both criminal defense and family law matters. In family law cases, we help clients fight for their families and their safety. In criminal defense, we support individuals who have made mistakes, are facing serious charges, or have been wrongfully accused.
Founding Partner & Criminal Defense Attorney Seth Blum is most proud that the team gets to be a voice for those who feel silenced.
“Our mission is to ensure that every person who hires us has skilled, compassionate, and effective legal representation. We fight hard VOTED BEST FAMILY LAW & LAW FIRM VOTED BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAW
because we believe that everyone deserves to be heard and to have someone in their corner.”
The supportive and talented team is ready to help clients with comprehensive legal services in both criminal and family law.
In the area of family law, the firm’s practice includes domestic violence protective orders, child custody matters, divorce, separation, equitable distribution of assets, support issues, and DSS/CPS cases. Office Manager Melissa Cunha explained that the firm offers these services in Wake, Johnston, and the surrounding counties.
For criminal law, the firm handles a wide range of cases, including
felonies, misdemeanors, domestic violence charges, and DWIs. Melissa added that while the primary focus is in Wake County, the practice also serves neighboring counties for domestic violence charges and serious cases.
While handling these complex and highly stressful situations, the entire team at Kurtz & Blum takes great care to provide the very best support to those they serve.
“Our approach is rooted in empathy, individuality, and collaboration,” said Mr. Blum. “We recognize that every client’s situation is unique, and we tailor our strategy accordingly – no two cases are ever exactly the same.”
Never losing sight of the fact that they are handling someone’s future, the team works as a cohesive, dependable unit, always treating clients with respect.
“We amplify each other’s strengths, working together to ensure that every client receives effective representation,” said Jolie Brown, Associate Civil Attorney. This encourages the team to continually work on learning and improvement.
This constant drive to improve each day motivates the team in all aspects of their legal work –extending far beyond courtroom appearances.
A LEGAL TEAM THAT WILL HELP YOU WITH EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS
Jared Hammett, Senior Civil Attorney, emphasizes that a key part of the team’s role is educating clients to recognize that both the small steps as well as significant developments in their legal matter are important work.
“Every phone call, email, document drafted, and detail collected is a vital part of building a strong case,” said Mr. Hammett. “Helping clients in this process while managing expectations is a critical but complex aspect of what we do.”
The most rewarding aspect of this work for the staff at the firm
is seeing a client’s journey from beginning to end. Litzy Jimenez, NC State Bar Certified paralegal, explained that many come to the practice feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, or defeated.
She went on to say, “Guiding them through the legal process, watching their growth, and ultimately seeing them come out stronger on the other side – that’s the real reward.”
Witnessing clients’ courage as they face challenges – and being able to support them along the way – reminds the team of the profound impact of their work.
“Those powerful moments stay with us,” said Colby Berry, Criminal Defense Attorney.
No matter how hopeless things may feel, the entire team at Kurtz & Blum want their clients to know that there is always a path forward. Whether facing a criminal charge or navigating a complex family matter, clients can rely on the firm to stand with them, fight for them, and help them navigate toward a better future.
