Welcome to Hearing Care Center
You'll feel at home as soon as you visit Hearing Care Center. Our staff will greet you by name, and our audiologists will treat you like members of their own family. That's just how we are. We truly care about helping people with hearing loss lead more fulfilling lives and connect better with the world around them.
Since 1989, we've made a difference for individuals in the Sharon community. We're in the business of helping people, and we love knowing that we change lives every day. Whether you need your hearing aids adjusted or are just exploring possible hearing solutions, we take the time to do it right. We go the extra mile to take care of our clients because we see you as an important individual, not just an ear to be treated.
Celebrating 30 Years
Hearing Care Center is celebrating 30 years (and 20,000 ears) of business in 2019, continuing a legacy of customer service and personalized care, welcoming more than 10,000 clients since opening its doors in 1989. The milestone is being celebrated as part of Better Speech and Hearing Month, held each May to raise awareness about communication disorders.
Why Hearing Care Center?
- We've served the Sharon community since 1989. We've built a reputation of excellence over the past three decades, and we're committed to giving back to our community.
- Every member of our team has worked with people with hearing loss for years. We have staff members who are fluent in American Sign Language, and we can help connect you to resources in the area if you need additional support.
- Our expert audiologists collaborate as a team to provide you the absolute best support. Whether you see Dr. Paul Milner or Judy Learner Nichols, you'll be treated by someone with decades of experience in the field of audiology and a passion for helping people.
- We carry a wide range of hearing devices to suit every hearing loss. We're an independent practice, which means we can choose the hearing aid brand and type that would be best for your specific hearing loss.
- We build relationships and are invested in your individual hearing journey. We give ourselves plenty of time to get to know you and understand what you need at your appointments. This lets us serve you better, but we also just enjoy building relationships with the people who come to see us.
- We take a comprehensive approach. We do more than just sell hearing aids. We can assist with just about anything related to your hearing healthcare.
- We never pressure you or upsell you. We're not here to sell hearing aids, we're here to help. It's up to you to decide what's best for you and what you want to do. And we'll never recommend more expensive technology than we think you need.
- We help you keep track of warranty and insurance information. Paperwork and deadlines can be overwhelming, but we've been doing this for years. We are happy to help you and explain your warranty and insurance options.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment
- From the moment you arrive at our building, you'll realize you're not at a cold, clinical hospital setting. The whole place feels like home. Our front desk staff is extremely friendly. They'll greet you by name and make sure you're comfortable. If you need anything, just let us know.
- If possible, we recommend bringing someone to your appointment who you spend a lot of time with. When we program your hearing aids, it’s important to have a familiar voice and someone who can help you keep track of all the information we share with you.
- Inside our lobby, you'll see hand-painted vines and flowers along the ceiling, antique hearing aids, and even Dr. Milner's collection of elephant figurines (we'll tell you the story if you ask!) We also keep cartoons about hearing aids and audiologists around to make you smile.
- Our audiologist will call you back and ask you some questions about why you've come to see us and what we can do to help. This lets us learn where you're having trouble hearing, any additional issues you might have such as tinnitus or dizziness, and what you're hoping to get out of treatment.
- Our sound booth, where most of your testing will take place, is spacious, comfortable, and wheelchair-accessible. We'll run through a series of tests to evaluate your hearing loss and possibly your speech recognition. Testing is painless, and we'll explain each step.
- After the tests are done, you'll sit down with our audiologist in the fitting room and go over the results. We'll be able to tell what sounds you might be missing, such as certain consonants or vowels that make it difficult to understand speech, and we can talk about the cause of your hearing loss as well. We want to make sure you understand everything so you can make an educated decision about what to do next.
- If we determine that hearing aids would be a good solution for you, we'll talk to you about which hearing aids we recommend and let you explore the possibilities with demo units we keep in stock. We'll ask you what you're looking for in terms of technology, which also depends on your lifestyle (whether you're still working/volunteering or you tend to stay home or in quiet spaces). We may be able to let you borrow a demo unit for a week to see for yourself what a difference it makes in the actual environments you visit. If you decide to move forward with hearing aids, we'll order them for you and get that process started.
Payment and Insurance
We accept cash, checks, and credit cards. We also take CareCredit and will help you fill out your application if you need it. CareCredit allows you to have 12 months of interest-free payments for your hearing aids. Some insurance plans provide coverage for hearing testing and/or hearing aids. Our staff at the front desk will be happy to work with you to see what benefits your insurance gives you.
Proud Partner of HearStrong
HearStrong was founded in 2013 with the goal of inspiring a mass hearing healthcare awareness movement. An estimated 48 million Americans experience hearing loss, and 80% of these individuals let it go unaddressed. This could be due to barriers such as social stigmas, financial difficulties, lack of awareness and resources, and more. In response to this need, HearStrong began recognizing and sharing the stories of remarkable people with hearing loss in an effort to empower and inspire others to take control of their hearing health. The HearStrong Foundation recognizes outstanding adults and children with hearing loss and gives them a platform to empower and serve others in need of hearing care. Learn more today!
