Who We Are
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.

Services
Our mobile audiology practice delivers comprehensive hearing healthcare services directly to patients in their communities, residential facilities, and workplaces. All services are provided using state-of-the-art portable equipment in our fully equipped mobile clinic, ensuring the same quality of care available in traditional clinical settings.
Hearing Testing and Evaluations
Properly treating your hearing struggles starts with a clear understanding of your unique hearing loss. Our advanced testing procedures establish baseline hearing levels, identify the type and degree of hearing loss, and determine candidacy for hearing aids or other interventions.
Hearing Aid Services
Complete hearing aid services from initial consultation through managing long-term care. Already have hearing aids? No problem! We work with all major companies and will improve performance with your current hearing aids when needed. Ready for a new set? Our team works with all major hearing aid manufacturers to ensure you get the quality of sound you are used to. We are happy to discuss any available options to meet your specific needs.
Earwax Removal
Earwax is an essential part of hearing health until too much causes blockages, earaches, and other issues. We can remove significant blockages and give you instructions for proper cleaning at home.
Residential Facility Services
We offer specialized services for senior living communities. By providing on-site hearing evaluations for residents, we remove transportation barriers or mobility limitations. We provide staff and resident education on hearing loss and communication strategies as requested.
Industrial Hearing Conservation Services
Our mobile clinic makes it easy for noise-exposed workers to receive their OSHA required annual hearing screening on-site. Call our clinic to discuss scheduling appointments to meet your annual hearing screening needs.
