Thank you for considering to take our course on how to be a Hearing Instrument Specialist (HIS). I started selling hearing aids as a Hearing Instrument Specialist when I was 18 years old. After a year of doing that, I decided to go to College and pursue a career as an Audiologist. I went to Penn State University and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Disorders in 1993, and a Master's Degree in Audiology in 1995.
For the first year or so after college, I worked under the wing of a well-known Audiologist in my hometown. After working with him, I decided to start my own practice and in 1997, the West Shore Hearing Center was born. When my mentor retired, I purchased his small office about 30 miles from my main office and called it the Hershey Hearing Center. I owned and ran both offices for about 20 years and in some of those years, Our gross revenue was close to one million dollars!
The years that the offices were running at their peak, I became a household name in my industry by first and foremost always doing what is right for my patients, and secondly by advertising a lot on the radio and in the newspaper. I was featured multiple times on television and on the radio as an authority in my field.
The bottom line is that I just love helping people hear better and in the process changing their lives.
I hope you decide to take our course and see for yourself how making a career in the hearing business might be the best decision you've ever made.
