About Paducah Hearing

67 Years of Trusted Hearing Care

Our Heritage

A Legacy Built on Trust and Care

A Family Tradition

Paducah Hearing was founded in 1958 with a simple mission: to help people hear better and live better. What started as a small hearing aid shop on Broadway has grown into the most trusted hearing healthcare provider in the region.

For over six decades, we've been serving the Paducah community with compassion, expertise, and the latest hearing technology. We're proud to be a locally-owned, family-operated business that treats every patient like family.

Our commitment has never wavered: provide honest guidance, exceptional service, and life-changing hearing solutions to everyone who walks through our doors.

"We don't just fit hearing aids—we build lasting relationships. Many of our patients have been with us for decades, and some have even referred their children and grandchildren to us. That's the kind of trust that means everything."

Community Focused

Being part of the Paducah community isn't just about business—it's about caring for our neighbors. We're active members of local organizations, we support community events, and we're always here when you need us.

We understand that hearing loss doesn't just affect individuals—it impacts families, friendships, and quality of life. That's why we take a holistic approach to hearing care, considering not just the technical aspects, but the emotional and social impact as well.

Our patients aren't just numbers—they're our friends, our neighbors, and the reason we come to work every day.
