In today's constantly changing health care world, there are hardly any professionals who remain relevant, innovative, and kind for four decades or more. Mrs. Asha Agarwal, a name synonymous with audiology and speech therapy all over North India, is one such exceptional individual. With 47 years of total experience, she has been a specialist for 46 years, assisting people of all ages to overcome speech and hearing difficulties.

Mrs. Asha Agarwal has a Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing, the initial certification that directed her into a profession that was still getting established in India at the time.
She started her practice in the early 1970s, a period when there was limited awareness of hearing loss and speech delay, and facilities were limited. She always believed in keeping therapy affordable and individualized — principles that continue to shape her practice even today.

Her Approach to Care
One of Mrs. Agarwal's greatest strengths lies in her ability to tailor her approach to each patient. Whether treating a child with autism or an older adult with hearing loss due to age, her emphasis is always on clarity, simplicity, and long-term progress.
