Over the past few weeks, we have learned about the developing spread of the COVID-19 Virus commonly known as the coronavirus. Our staff has always kept and continue to keep our clinics clean and safe for all of our patients and staff. We wipe down all surfaces, tools, and equipment between patients and sanitize the office regularly. The safety of our staff and patients is our number one concern. Needless to say, these efforts are redoubled at this time.

In addition, we are in contact with all local and national authorities to stay compliant and informed of local needs and follow all guidelines. These authorities include the Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, as well as local governments. In addition to providing the cleanest clinic possible, we encourage everyone to take a few simple steps to better avoid the spread of this virus, including:

• Wash your hands regularly with soap and warm water.
• Avoid unnecessary contact with others.
• Avoid touching your face, eyes and mouth.
• Cleaning all common surfaces including your phone/tablet regularly.

In addition, we encourage everyone to handle their own hearing aids and avoid others touching them as much as possible. Please reach out to us prior to using chemicals to wipe down your hearing aids. Some chemicals can actually damage your devices. Our offices are here to continue to provide the concierge level of care that you have come to expect from us; we can give your hearing aids a deep cleaning for you.

We are proud to serve you and the entire community with better hearing and look forward to continuing the work of helping to connect you to those you love. There has never been a more important time to be able to hear and never a better time to connect to those around you.

Check out what one sweet patient wrote to us!


"I was told two years ago that I had to have surgery if I was going to hear. I went to a specialist because I knew that I was not hearing like I should.

I was turning the television up to 75 and didn't really realize what I was missing. They told me the only way that I could fix my hearing was surgery. We had planned a surgery and was also told that it could fail and/or that it would only fix my hearing by 50% and I would have to continually have surgery the rest of my life. That was not something I was looking forward to, but we knew that I needed to do something.

And then...

I went in to visit Doug and his staff and they were amazing. Doug gave me a hearing test and told me that hearing aids would work. Two weeks later, I had my hearing aids. I didn't realize what I was missing. I walked out the door and it was a brisk fall morning, and I could hear the leaves rustling , and I started to cry. I watch my grandbaby, and I can hear him — his coos and his giggles.

I am a speaker, and not being able to hear when I was at a conference was really hard. The Hearing Aid Institute and my hearing aids have changed my life. I will forever be grateful and blessed. Also, to know that God brought me there so that I could hear all the amazing things that he was putting in my life. Thank you to the moon and back."
