Physician Hearing Network

Physicians Hearing Network partners with primary care practices across the U.S. by renting an exam room a set number of days per week to provide their patients with complimentary hearing testing services. There is zero cost to the practice or patient and no billing of insurance. Physicians Hearing Network covers all expenses including labor and equipment. The rent revenue is pure profit to the practice.

After operating 25+ private audiology practices and managing the audiology departments of 40+ ENT practices across the U.S., our management team developed a turn-key hearing services model which allows us to provide comprehensive hearing evaluations and hearing aid services in a typical exam roomwithout disrupting patient flow or creating administrative burden for the staff.

Our goal is to detect and treat hearing loss as early in its development as possible. We believe the best way to achieve this is by partnering with primary care physicians to make hearing screenings a standard part of the annual checkup. Physicians who have partnered with us, as well as patients we’ve treated with hearing aids, appreciate the convenience of onsite hearing services and one less referral.
