Guides for independent hearing clinics.
Written for the owner and the office manager. Each one cites its sources at the end, with links, and each ends with something you can do in the next hour. Free, and useful whether or not you ever email us.
- How an independent hearing clinic competes with the chains on Google The results page taken apart: what a chain location page can take and what it cannot, the searches to go after first, and what we saw in an October snapshot of 14 towns.
- Google Business Profile for hearing clinics: every field, set right Categories, services, hours, the audiologist's own listing, description, photos, links and the monthly check, against Google's own rules.
- OTC hearing aids: what your clinic's website should say in 2026 The FDA rule, what a state can and cannot require, the earbud hearing aid, the MarkeTrak numbers, and the four pages to publish.
- Manufacturer-owned hearing aid stores: who owns what, and where an independent wins The ownership facts with dates, what the chains' pages do on Google, what they and the warehouse clubs charge, and six edges an independent has.
- Medicare, Medicare Advantage hearing benefits, and what your pages may say What Medicare covers, the direct-access visit and the AB modifier, the benefit managers, the searches members make, and the wording that stays inside the rules.
- Reviews for a hearing clinic: the routine, the replies and the HIPAA line A routine that satisfies Google, the FTC and HHS, the two settlements over review replies, reply templates that disclose nothing, and the wrong one-star review.
