Why Choose Us

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.

With 75 years of serving Adel, Grinnell, and Urbandale, we are the oldest and most experienced hearing care provider in Iowa.

This experience translates into unparalleled expertise and trust built with thousands of local families.

Nobody wants to be on board a pilot’s maiden voyage, and nobody wants to be cared for by an inexperienced or poorly qualified hearing care professional.

With a team of highly respected Doctors of Audiology, you can have the confidence that you or a loved one are being cared for by a team who are at the forefront of their field with the highest levels of education.

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.

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.

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.

Having helped tens of thousands of people to achieve better hearing over the past 75 years, it’s been a pleasure to help different generations of the same families on the journey.

From grandparents to grandchildren, if you or a loved one has a hearing concern, then we’re here for you.
