Why Choose Us?
11 Reasons to Choose Hawaii Professional Audiology
Whether you’re dealing with tinnitus, hearing loss, or just unsure where to turn, the experience you have matters. At Hawaii Professional Audiology, we don’t just treat ears—we care for people. That means listening, understanding, and creating lasting solutions tailored to you. It’s the difference between feeling dismissed and feeling heard. Between temporary fixes and true relief.
01
Over Three Decades of Proven Care in Hawai‘i
For more than 35 years, we've been caring for the hearing health of local people across the islands. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of consistently doing things the right way.
Our deep community ties, patient-first philosophy, and dedication to long-term outcomes have helped thousands of individuals and families rediscover the sounds of life with clarity and confidence. Many of our patients have trusted us across generations—a testament to relationships built on respect, not just results.
02
Fully Independent, Locally Rooted
We're proud to be a locally owned and operated clinic—we’re not part of a franchise, chain, or national brand. That means there are no corporate sales targets, no manufacturer contracts, and no pressure to recommend anything that isn’t a perfect fit.
Every decision we make is guided by clinical judgement, your goals, and what’s right for your hearing—nothing else. Independence also means flexibility, accountability, and a level of personal service that bigger entities simply can’t replicate.
03
Best Practices Every Step of the Way
We don’t cut corners. Every aspect of your care—from diagnostic testing to treatment plans and technology fittings—follows the gold standards set by audiological best practices.
That includes Real Ear Measurements (REMs), evidence-based counseling, and in-depth evaluations that go well beyond the basics. It’s not about bells and whistles—it’s about precision. Because when it comes to your hearing, accuracy isn’t optional.
04
Appointments Designed Around You
This isn’t a clinic where you’re in and out in 15 minutes. We believe better care begins with better conversations—and that takes time. Our appointments are purposefully longer so we can explore your concerns, understand your lifestyle, and walk you through your options without rush or pressure.
Whether it's your first visit or your fifth, you’ll always feel seen, heard, and supported with care that feels personal, not procedural.
05
Trusted by Local Physicians and Healthcare Providers
Over the years, we’ve become a go-to recommendation for doctors, ENTs, and other healthcare professionals throughout Hawai‘i. Why? Because they’ve seen firsthand how we care for patients—with thorough evaluations, honest recommendations, and exceptional follow-up.
They trust us with their patients, their colleagues, and, often, their own families. That kind of professional trust is earned—and we work hard every day to maintain it.
06
Technology That Matches Your Life
No two people hear the same or live the same—so why settle for one-size-fits-all technology? We offer hearing aids from all major manufacturers, and we match them to your specific hearing profile, communication needs, budget, and preferences. Whether you want near-invisible devices, rechargeability, smartphone compatibility, or enhanced clarity in background noise, we’ll help you find the right fit. And we won’t stop there.
Our programming and fine-tuning ensure that the device not only works, but works for you.
07
Support for Veterans With Dignity and Clarity
As a VA-authorized provider through the Community Care Network, we’re honored to serve veterans with the respect and expertise they deserve. We understand the referral process, we know how to work within the system, and we take the time to ensure veterans get not just the right hearing solution, but the right experience.
There’s no confusion, no red tape—just clear guidance, full support, and deep appreciation for the people who’ve served.
08
Hearing Care With Heart
This isn’t just a clinical space—it’s a reflection of the values that make Hawai‘i special. Every interaction is grounded in patience, warmth, humility, and respect. We don’t just listen to your test results—we listen to you. That’s why people feel at ease here, and why so many choose to return year after year. It's hearing care with heart.
09
Follow-Up That Actually Follows Through
This isn’t just a practice that follows the conversation—it helps lead it. Dr. Julie Prutsman is a third-generation audiologist, current board member of the American Tinnitus Association, and past VP of Professional Issues for the Colorado Academy of Audiology. That influence ensures patients benefit from the most up-to-date thinking and standards in the profession.
10
A Clinic That Feels Like Home
From the layout of our space to the way we greet you at the door, we’ve created an environment where you can feel comfortable, relaxed, and welcomed. We know that, for many, a hearing appointment can feel unfamiliar or even stressful—so we do everything possible to put you at ease. It's quiet, clean, calm—and, above all, kind.
11
A Long-Term Partner in Your Hearing Health
We’re not here for a one-time transaction. We’re here to be your partner for the long haul. When your needs evolve, your hearing changes, or your technology options improve, we’ll be ready with updated guidance, trusted recommendations, and continuity of care that never misses a beat.
When you choose Hawaii Professional Audiology, you're choosing a clinic that stays with you—every step of the way.
