Allie Austin, Doctoral Candidate
The Bella Vista location opened its doors to the public at Sugar Creek Center in 1999, making Blue Wave Hearing Centers the longest-running, independent, locally owned Audiology practice in Northwest Arkansas. Their mission goes beyond hearing care solutions by providing community service programs that include hearing screenings, hearing aid service centers, supplies for Veterans, and educational lecture series highlighting research and treatment options for hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance disorders. Over the years, Blue Wave Clinics have won over 17 Awards recognizing their excellence in patient care, customer service, and community outreach programs.
We understand you have many options for your hearing healthcare, and we are honored you have landed here. At Blue Wave, we take the time to truly know and understand our patients and the community we serve. We understand each individual comes to us with a unique set of goals, needs, and hearing profiles. We use our knowledge of our community and our wealth of experience to provide each person who passes through our doors with individualized and innovative hearing healthcare solutions. We walk with you every step of the way on your journey to better hearing, and all of our services are completely guaranteed. We are proud to be an independent, local, and community-oriented clinic - dedicated to serving the Northwest Arkansas area.
In most hearing healthcare clinics, you will be given an opportunity to try a hearing aid that the provider recommends. Most clinics will fine-tune the aids to your unique hearing prescription and will allow you to also test how they sound in your doctor’s office. At the end of the appointment, they will ask you how you feel about your hearing aids and if you would like to purchase them.
This is why we developed the Hearing Aid Test Drive™. With our unique process, you will be able to leave the clinic with hearing aids and without an obligation to purchase or even a deposit. We want you to have an opportunity to learn and “test drive” your hearing aids in the real world, in your real life. We understand that your hearing aids will feel and sound different at church, at a restaurant, and at your daughter’s house - and you deserve an opportunity to test them in these settings. We also encourage you to try many different types and styles to find the one that works best for your unique brain and needs.
