Patient-focused hearing healthcare
in the Mid Ohio Valley
We bring high-quality audiology services directly to you — at home, at work, or in your community.
Our Services
Our mobile audiology practice delivers comprehensive hearing healthcare directly to patients in their communities, residential facilities, and workplaces — using state-of-the-art portable equipment in our fully equipped mobile clinic.
Hearing Testing & Evaluations
We establish baseline hearing levels, identify the type and degree of hearing loss, and determine candidacy for hearing aids or other interventions.
Hearing Aid Services
Already have hearing aids? We work with all major companies. Ready for a new set? We work with all major manufacturers to find the right fit for you.

Personalized strategies to help manage ringing or buzzing in the ears and improve quality of life.
Custom Hearing Protection & Swim Molds
Custom protection for loud work environments, motorsports, or shooting — and custom waterproof silicone swim molds to prevent infections like swimmer's ear.

Who We Are
Meet Dr. Gretchen and her husband, Hayden!
Our grandparents' experience with traveling to frequent medical appointments inspired Dr. Gretchen's plans for a mobile practice. We're here to make hearing healthcare easier and more personal for families in rural Ohio and West Virginia.
We were raised here and value family, connection, and tradition. By removing transportation barriers and meeting people where they are, we hope to help patients enjoy conversation, social gatherings, and everyday moments with the people they love.
