Meet The Hearing Health Center Team
The Founder
Fred Hutchison
After two years of traveling across the United States and consulting with several highly successful hearing centers, I chose to settle in Middle Tennessee. In March of 1981, I founded the Hearing Health Center with the goal of providing quality, honest hearing care to those in need. Initially based in Madison, TN, we quickly expanded to offer bi-monthly services in Lebanon and Smithville, TN. I understood that serving the community had to be a core principle of HHC, so I became a big supporter of the local Senior Citizen Centers and built a lasting relationship that continues to thrive today. As our business grew, we needed to expand our presence in Lebanon to accommodate more patients. We partnered with an ear, nose, and throat specialist at the University Medical Center, gaining valuable experience during our time there. After this ENT left Lebanon, I continued seeing patients three days a week until UMC required us to relocate.
In 1992, I partnered with Dr. John Tate, a local ear, nose, and throat specialist. This partnership lasted nearly 22 years. During that time, we had the privilege of helping thousands of people with hearing loss. Dr. Tate handled the medical aspects, while I focused on providing amplification for those with hearing difficulties. In 1993, wanting to make a stronger commitment to Wilson County, I sold our Madison office and began working full-time in Lebanon. We also opened part-time locations in Carthage and Lafayette, TN. As our team grew and needed more space, we moved into our building at 1417 W Baddour Parkway, where we are still today. In 2021 we opened our newest location in Gallatin, TN and it has been successful ever since.
With the strongest team in Hearing Health Center’s history, it was time to pass the company on to the next generation. On August 1, 2022, Allison McKeon took over and remains committed to upholding the exceptional customer service that has always been the core of our business. I am proud of what Hearing Health Center has become over the years and I know the company’s goal to provide honest and quality hearing health care will continue to be fulfilled.
