Sound Advice Hearing Doctors LLC
Sound Advice Hearing Doctors LLC moved its Springfield store Sept. 2 to 4145 S. National Ave. in Twin Oaks Plaza. Filling some of the space left vacant in December by Christian Publishers Outlet, the Sound Advice owners more than doubled their previous hearing aid store at Fox Grape Plaza.
Dr. Chase Britton, who owns the business with
Drs. Brian Vesely, Tony Asay and
Michael Steer and
Mike Powell, said the showroom-styled store is key to Sound Advice’s new sales model. Similar to cellphone displays, Sound Advice hearing aids are viewable and accessible by customers with staff on hand to answer questions. The owners lease 3,200 square feet from Post Time Properties LLC for undisclosed terms. Selling products from the six largest hearing aid manufacturers, services range from $900 to $2,500. Sound Advice also operates stores in Hollister and Branson West, as well as the Arkansas market. The Springfield store employs eight.
