Washington Hearing Society Find a Licensed Hearing Instrument Specialist in your area, or if you are interested in becoming one. John Holm was his successor.

In 1959, an excess of fifty hearing aid specialists gathered in Wenatchee and formed the group which became known as the Hearing Aid Dealers of Washington (HADOW). Articles of Incorporation were drawn up, officers were elected, and committees were appointed. Howard Doran was elected the first president of HADOW and served in that capacity for two terms, 1959 through 1961. At that first meeting, th

e members of the newly formed organization went on record to formally oppose unfair, restrictive legislation. HADOW held that position until 1970 when its members voted to seek legislation of its own. The name was changed over the years to become the Washington Hearing Society. The organization’s main focus continues to be to protect the licenses of all Hearing Aid Fitter/Dispensers in Washington State by having a lobbyist in Olympia. Equally important is our aim to provide quality education to professionals in the hearing healthcare industry to stay in the forefront of the fast paced changes of technology in our field.

No matter where we are, there are sounds that we listen to every day that help us feel connected to the world around us and keep us safe and productive. Hearing is a crucial part of how we communicate with those around us. It’s how we feel connected in our community.
While some people recognize they may be experiencing hearing loss, hearing loss can happen so gradually that others may not realize it’s happening. Hearing loss can affect everyone of all ages, and the fact is hearing loss does not just affect your hearing capability.
Life’s sounds are worth hearing.
