Latest Hearing Health News

Over the past forty years the greatest joy of our business is providing the gift of better hearing. Difficulty hearing is one of the most common conditions among older adults. Many people make lifestyle adjustments rather than seek help. With the new advances in technology now is an ideal time to consider an evaluation. At Hopco Hearing Center, we have made a commitment to professional service, quality products and low prices. Here are some factors to keep in mind:

Choice – There are over 200 manufacturers we can service. Everyone’s hearing loss and lifestyle is different… So we offer a wide variety.

Follow-up – All aids come with a 60 day trial… We see you weekly during this time to assure your adjustments and the aids adjustment are satisfactory.

Continued Education – Every year we attend conventions and manufacturer seminars to keep up the latest fitting news and technology. We are members of nationally accredited American Speech and Hearing Association, American Academy of Audiologists and the International Hearing Society.
