What Davis Family Hearing does

Davis Family Hearing is an independent audiology practice founded in 2013 and led by Dr. Joanie Davis, operating four brick-and-mortar clinics across Florida (Spring Hill flagship, Villages/Lady Lake, Crystal River, and New Port Richey). The practice delivers diagnostic hearing evaluations, hearing aid fitting and programming, cochlear implant evaluation and mapping, tinnitus management, balance disorder treatment, and custom ear protection services. Its clinical team comprises two Doctors of Audiology, three Hearing Instrument Specialists, and a Practice Administrator plus care coordination staff.

The company's core technology is its independent dispensing model — it carries prescription hearing aids from all seven major manufacturers (Oticon, Signia, Phonak, ReSound, Widex, Lyric, and Starkey) and is clinically credentialed across all three major cochlear implant manufacturers (Cochlear, MED-EL, Advanced Bionics) plus bone-anchored devices. The most recent product tier includes AI-powered hearing aids equipped with dedicated neural processing chips, multi-class sound environment classifiers, and real-time speech enhancement features. Diagnostic capability rests on state-of-the-art audiometric equipment with real ear measurement verification and otoacoustic emissions testing.

Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales of hearing aids and implantable devices, professional audiology services billed per occurrence, and ancillary accessories (custom earmolds, wireless connectivity). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by technology tier; insurance is accepted from Medicaid, Medicare, and major commercial payers (Humana, Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care, Anthem, Empire, Ultimate), with financing via CareCredit, HealthiPlan, and multiple third-party hearing aid benefits programs. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone, online booking, and community channels including a weekly radio show on FM 99.9 WXJB. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding and no acquisition history.
