Meet Our Team at SmartStep Hearing
SmartStep Hearing was founded in 2010. We felt a new model of service was needed to help provide better access to hearing care. For this reason, we have remained locally owned and independent and are committed to coming to you. We value giving our clients choice by offering solutions from all of the major hearing device manufacturers.
Our services include comprehensive hearing tests, hearing aids, repairs, loss and damage claims, batteries and supplies, wireless solutions, hearing protection, and musician products. We also accept all insurance plans. With SmartStep Hearing, you have our commitment to finding solutions that fit your individual need, lifestyle and budget.
We share a passion for treating those with hearing loss and helping to improve your quality of life. Call us today at 503-406-9266 to set up at time for an in-home consultation.
