About Our Hearing Center

Choosing a Hearing Professional is one of the most important decisions a hearing impaired person can make!

Professional Hearing Associates was created in 1984, with three standards to which we hold ourselves:

First, only the best audiologist and hearing aid specialist will be hired. This means not only hiring those with incredible knowledge of technical and diagnostic expertise, but also thoughtful, old-fashioned people with a compassionate nature. We treat and care for our patients as we would a member of our own family. As a result of our “family” atmosphere, we have very little turnover of staff members, some having been here for over 10 years!

Secondly, we strongly believe that quality hearing devices and thorough hearing healthcare make for the happiest patients year after year. In addition to working with the most advanced hearing devices available, we utilize scientific verification measures and a comprehensive aural rehabilitation program. We love going the extra mile in personalizing the sound quality and benefits for years of enjoyment.

Third, we provide unprecedented long-term follow-up care. Following our risk free 75-day trial period, our unique follow-up care program ensures that our patient’s devices will remain properly calibrated and in the best acoustic condition year after year. Our patients have our staff readily available for advice, cleaning, minor repairs, and explanations of daily maintenance.

We are so appreciative of our patients, referring physicians, hospitals, clinics, schools, and senior centers for trusting us as their sole provider. We will always continue to push our practice to provide quality and professional care.
