History

Back in 2007, we saw the potential for improving online education about hearing loss and hearing aids. It all started with an educational video we made about hearing, hearing loss and hearing aids. Since then we’ve been answering questions and educating hundreds of thousands of patients about hearing loss treatment options.

Our hearing tips and articles are referenced and used online each month by hundreds of audiology and hearing aid clinics, making Helping Me Hear the most highly regarded source of information about hearing loss and hearing aids online.
