Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
10 years; I have been working full-time as an audiologist for 35 years.
What is your primary product or service?
Hearing evaluations for children and adults; hearing aids made by Starkey Hearing Technologies, Phonak, Widex, Oticon, and Siemens.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Worked with Ear, Nose, and Throat physicians for 25 years doing diagnostic hearing evaluations, hearing aid sales and service, vestibular testing, and auditory brainstem response testing for children and adults. In 2003, one of my physicians talked about plans to retire; I started making plans to open the Place for Better Hearing.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We allow patients a free "test drive" of hearing aids. We are not a high pressure hearing aid sales facility. We educate patients about hearing loss and hearing aid technology; we give them choices.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one location with 2 audiologists and two sound treated booths. We do not have plans for expansion at this time.
