Our Core Beliefs
Relationships are vital to life. Hearing loss interferes with healthy relationships.
We believe relationships are central to the human experience and that the presence of untreated hearing loss slowly deteriorates our ability to create, develop and maintain healthy relationships. We believe treating hearing loss is an avenue to better living.

“100% Better”
“I went in to stop my wife from saying I had an issue hearing. Found out I had pretty significant hearing loss for a 43 year old. A set of hearing aids was ordered, programmed and I was taught how to use and maintain them. I was able to hear my youngest grandson cooing as a baby. You don’t know what you are missing when you can’t hear it. Can’t say anything but good things about Dr. Lynda and her staff Valerie and Venia, they are caring and compassionate through the entire process.”
