Digital Hearing Aid Center

What Digital Hearing Aid Center does

Digital Hearing Aid Center is a family-owned hearing aid retail and dispensing practice founded in 2000 and headquartered at 12139 5th Street, Yucaipa, California. The business operates a single brick-and-mortar clinic and serves individual consumers across Yucaipa and the surrounding Inland Empire communities of Calimesa, Oak Glen, Redlands, Banning, and Beaumont.

The practice distributes hearing aids from three manufacturers — Starkey, Signia, and Sonic — across multiple form factors including completely-in-canal (CIC), receiver-in-canal (RIC), and custom-molded devices, alongside the Signia CIC Instafit line. Adjacent clinical services include hearing evaluations, video otoscopy, and repairs for all makes and models, regardless of original point of sale. A mobile-visit channel serves private residences and nursing homes, targeting elderly and homebound patients who cannot access a retail clinic. The practice is led by Alycia Neidlinger, a Board Certified Hearing Instrument Specialist (BC-HIS, Lic#HA 3044).

Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer hearing aid sales, evaluation and consultation fees, repair service charges, and in-home visit fees, with a 45-day trial period offered on device purchases. Distribution is purely local and primarily retail-channel; there is no e-commerce platform, subscription model, software product, or out-of-state operation. The business is privately held, family-owned, and discloses no headcount, funding, or financial metrics.
