Our Mission
Delta Hearing was originally created to answer the needs of some of the retirement communities in the area. We were asked if we knew of anyone that could come to their facilities and provide hearing services for their residents. When we asked around, we found that there was a great need throughout the area for a hearing specialist who was willing to travel to their patients and provide their services from a mobile platform. We aim to provide complete coverage of hearing healthcare — not just sell you hearing aids. If there is a medical problem involving your hearing, we know the right people to refer you to, and can get the problem fixed quickly and easily.
