Why Choose Us

Better hearing is a continuous journey, not a final destination. It requires a partnership with someone who will support you today and continue to be there for you in the future. Therefore, it’s critically important that you choose the right partner on the journey.

Having partnered with tens of thousands of Iowans and multiple generations of families for over 75 years, here are just some of the reasons why we believe we may be the right local partner for you.

Proudly Independent

As an independently owned business, we are not tied to any manufacturers or corporate structures that prevent us from making the right decisions for our patients.

This ensures that you’re partnering with a passionate small business owner who only wins when you win! Because we’re your partners for the long haul, you have the peace of mind that you’re working with one person for life rather than seeing a different face at every appointment.

It Goes Beyond the Ear

Through a deep focus on advanced audiological care, our attention goes beyond the question of if you have a hearing loss and instead explores the reasons why and the potential additional impact.

This pursuit of not applying a band-aid but focusing on the why behind the what has been a core part of the success that has resulted in tens of thousands of local people choosing us.

Access to All Manufacturers and Hearing Aids

Whereas most large chains and groups are limited to one manufacturer, we understand that a “one size fits all” approach is rarely the right solution.

Through our independence, we work with all manufacturers to ensure that we can align the perfect hearing technology to your unique circumstances, needs, and budget.

Deep Community Roots

Our practice is deeply embedded in the communities we serve. We live, work, and raise our families here, and our mission is to enhance the lives of our neighbors through better hearing.

We support our veterans by providing specialized hearing care tailored to their needs and experiences. Immanuel Pathways chose Woodard Hearing as their audiology partner, and we are proud supporters of the Make A Wish Foundation and Ronald McDonald House.

Your hearing health is our priority, and we are dedicated to supporting you every step of the way.
