The biggest misconception about hearing loss is that it’s a negative sign.
But we see hearing loss as a sign that you’ve lived a fruitful and abundant life full of experiences that your hearing has struggled to keep up with.
In the same way that the faster that you drive a car, the quicker that you’ll erode the tires; the more experiences that your ears have been part of, the more likely your level of hearing has likely reduced over time.
At Sound Audiology, our methodical approach to healthy hearing allows our community to use hearing technology to continue to be themselves and bring their unique differences to the world.
With three clinics in Richland, Walla Walla, and Pasco – you have a trusted audiologist that celebrates the great life that you have lived in your neighborhood.
Whether you’re concerned about your hearing or the hearing of a loved one, your first step is to schedule an initial assessment with one of our expert hearing doctors to check just how much your lifestyle has impacted your hearing.
“One of the problems I was having was ringing in the ears. Once I got the hearing aids, that ringing has totally gone away and I didn’t even think about it until today!”

Patient Stories
It’s been like opening the closed blinds on a window and discovering the big, beautiful world outside
Bryan realised that he had a hearing problem when he was having to ask people to repeat themselves. He was feeling embarrassed and left out of conversations.
“I was worried that Audiology was another way for a professional to take money out of my pocket and that hearing aids wouldn’t work for me, but at Sound Audiology the doctors really listened to me to understand my issues, what I wanted to achieve, and were so empathetic. WOW is all I can say.”
You can trust Sound Audiology to help you
“I started having hearing issues years ago. Before making an appointment at Sound Audiology, I was worried about how much it would cost and whether hearing aids would actually make my hearing any better.”
“All the staff really cared about me and wanted to help straight away. Hearing aids have changed the way I interact with my family. They no longer have to repeat everything.”
Sound Audiology is one of the best
“I noticed my hearing loss over 25 years ago. Before visiting the clinic, I felt like I needed to walk around with a sign saying ‘I’m not ignoring you, I’m deaf’, but now I can have normal conversations.
Sound Audiology were not only professional at my appointment but also friendly and knowledgeable.”
I didn’t realize how much I was missing until I got my hearing aids
Denny had suffered with ringing in his ears for over 40 years, but it wasn’t until his wife went for a hearing test that he thought he should have one too.
“I didn’t really think I had a problem, so I had no fears or concerns. It wasn’t until my wife complained about her hearing that I decided to investigate my own hearing challenges.”
