Our History

Our practice moved from its original location at the North Iowa Mercy Health Center West Campus to the Mason City Clinic Building to better provide hearing aid and audiology services to the residents of Mason City, Iowa and the surrounding areas.
The practice added another location in the Mayo Clinic of Albert Lea, Minnesota, to further expand our reach to patients with hearing loss.

We opened a ninth office in Charles City, Iowa, in the spring of 2016.
