Spokane’s Premier Hearing Healthcare Provider
Western Hearing Aid Center
At Western Hearing Aid Center, our mission is here to provide our patients with the finest in hearing evaluation and diagnosis, hearing aids, and hearing protection. We’ve been in the business of restoring the richness of sound for our patients for over 44 years.
The success of our solutions lies in our combination of compassionate care, cutting-edge technology, and extensive experience. We are a locally owned practice and are proud to offer comprehensive hearing healthcare services to the community.
Our office focuses on making you feel comfortable by providing quality care with a compassionate touch. We honor the needs and priorities of each patient as an individual, and never try to create a “one size fits all” approach. Your hearing loss affects you differently than anyone else, so it’s our promise to create hearing solutions that work best for you.
Whether you’re in need of a complete hearing evaluation, have a question about your current hearing aids, or find that tinnitus is taking away from your ability to enjoy each day, we’re here to help.
