In July of 2002, HEARx Ltd. completed its acquisition of Helix Hearing Care of America. To properly reflect its new position in the industry, the merged entity was renamed HearUSA. While still operating in many markets under its former names, HEARx Ltd., HEARx West, Helix Hearing Care of America Corp., and National Ear Care Plan, the ultimate goal is to combine all the North American entities under the HearUSA banner.

Currently HearUSA is composed company owned and operated clinics in California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri and the province of Ontario. In addition, the Company oversees a network of audiologically based and credentialed hearing care clinics that deliver the same high quality care to the HearUSA insured members.
Mission Statement

HearUSA is committed to making hearing care a medical necessity and devotes its efforts to patient advocacy, increased utilization of hearing care products and services, and improved access to qualified providers.

Philosophy

HearUSA has a long-standing commitment to enhance the quality of life in the individual communities which we serve. It is through our personal care and attention by a qualified staff — which is skilled, knowledgeable and experienced — that we can make a difference. Through personal dedication and volunteerism, we advocate for the medical necessity of hearing care and the utilization of products and services that promote better hearing. As an organization, HearUSA endeavors to support the needs and success of our patients, our employees, and our shareholders.

Vision

To become the international hearing care company of choice to patients and healthcare providers through a fully integrated and professionally accredited delivery system.

In 1948, Ken Dahlberg, a World War II aviator turned electronic inventor, created the pillow radio for hospital patients' private listening. Ken's employer rejected the idea, and this inspired the founding of Dahlberg, Inc., which became the foundation of Miracle-Ear.

We can be found in over 1000 locations across the U.S.A few short years later, we were the first to offer an in-the-ear hearing aid. Since then, Miracle-Ear has continued to introduce innovative technology to remove the barriers of hearing loss. We've taken the size of hearing aids down to models that fit entirely in the ear canal. We've made technological improvements that allow us to customize a hearing solution to your individual hearing loss profile. And we've developed customer service practices to help ensure that you are completely satisfied with the products and support you receive from your Miracle-Ear representatives nationwide.

By building a strong national presence, we're able to be right where you are. And no one matches Miracle-Ear for convenience. We can be found in over 1000 locations across the U.S., many in Sears stores. Our association with Sears means even greater access and assurance for you.

With nearly 60 years of experience, Miracle-Ear is your trusted resource for the hearing solutions, outstanding service and convenient locations you expect from a leader. No wonder, so many people look to Miracle-Ear for the hearing solutions they need.
