Our OnDemand team is here to help people improve their hearing, understand their hearing aids, connect devices, and utilize the improvements in technology. OnDemand allows patients and their family to call and get help from the comfort of their home."

"One of my favorite experiences with virtual care was being able to assist a patient's daughter to help her mom get her hearing aids functioning again. The patient had been hospitalized and her daughter was eager to get her mom's hearing aids working. The closest HearingLife location was far away, and they were dealing with a lot of medical complications. I was able to virtually assist this family and get her devices working again so that she could hear and understand her family, friends, and medical staff in a critical time."

When not in the office, or out visiting patients, Ashlynn loves to spend time gardening, running, and playing with her granddaughter.

“Being able to offer our patients Remote Care options is a huge benefit. It allows us to support patients whether they are brand new to wearing hearing devices or experienced users who are having difficulties outside of clinic hours.”

“I really love that I speak with so many people from all over the country. One of my favorite experiences was with a gentleman who needed to be able to attend an important Zoom call but had a new phone and needed help pairing his aids to his phone. It only took a few minutes to walk him through the steps and he was so relieved that it was a simple fix.”

Being hearing impaired herself, she has an intimate understanding of what living with hearing loss feels like and how properly fitted hearing aids can improve the quality of someone’s life. “Improving the quality of someone’s life through the use of sound is why I come to work each day.” When not working, Dr. Hensarling enjoys travel, reading, gardening and time with family.

“Virtual care is vital to the progression of our field. Things happen that can be addressed simply and easily in a virtual format. Things also happen at off hours. Providing care both remotely and at non-office hours gives greater flexibility, service, and ease for both the patient and their provider. It is also important for those that are not fortunate enough to have a clinic close to their home. It can broaden the number of patients we are able to support more fully.”

“One of my best memories working with virtual care happened just after a patient had surgery on her leg and was not able to drive. Through virtual care we were able to correct the issue with her aids in a way that was both safe for her and enabled her to more easily communicate with those taking care of her. She was so grateful for the support while she was not able to leave her home.”

“My favorite experience with virtual care thus far has been talking to a patient through reconnecting their phone to their hearing aids via Bluetooth so they could be a part of a family gathering they could not attend in person! Both the patients face once getting it sorted and their family later reaction to their participation made my week!”

Sharon A. Stoor, BC-HIS, ACA, has specialized in fitting hearing aids, aural rehabilitation and counseling since 1986. She received a B.A. degree in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences from Douglass College, is nationally board certified and has completed coursework through the American Conference of Audioprosthology. Sharon has been with HearingLife since 2011, and a member of the OnDemand team for over a year. When she is not working, Sharon loves to spend time with family, travel and enjoy outdoor activities.

“The OnDemand Team provides an important service. Many people cannot easily access in-office services, or they need guidance on a weekend when most offices are not open. When they cannot communicate due to hearing loss, they become isolated, frustrated and depressed. Virtual care providers can help with solutions that may hold them over until they are able to visit an office, or make an office visit unnecessary. I am looking forward to expanding virtual services as technology improves.”

“I’ll never forget my first day on the OnDemand line. Someone called in from an area where the office hadn’t been open full time. He wanted his father to hear at a large family event over the weekend. I guided the son through the process of cleaning the aids, changing the wax filters and the domes. When he heard the aids begin to work, he actually started screaming with joy. It was as if he scored the winning touchdown in a big game. I knew at that moment how important this service is.”
