About
Center for
Hearing
Center for Hearing was established in 1998 by Kelley Linton and Kelly Johnston to specialize in hearing treatment for adults and children. Since the passing of our dear friend and colleague Kelly Johnston in 2009, Kelley Linton remains sole owner and continues to operate the clinic with the same ideals and commitment to our patients.
Along with full diagnostic hearing evaluations and industrial audiometric testing, we dispense the highest level of hearing instruments including the very latest in digital technology. In addition, we offer expert repairs on all makes and models of hearing aids and have the ability to custom-fit ear protection for swimmers, hunters, musicians, laborers and many others who are exposed to loud, potentially dangerous environments.
