H. William Mattingly - Founder Beltone Hearing Aid Center has been serving the Tristate hearing impaired since May 15th of 1962. Mr. Mattingly has seen hearing aid technology evolve from simple amplifiers, the size of a pack of playing cards, to digital hearing aids smaller than the size of a dime that can "learn" the habits of it's wearer and are invisible to the naked eye. Mr. Mattingly is so passionate about the hearing aid business and cares deeply about each patient that comes through the door,he still remembers his first patient in 1962 and cherishes their joy of hearing the beautiful sounds of life that they had been missing until they purchased their hearing aids. Mr. Mattinglys love for the hearing aid industry has been passed to his daughter and current owner, Marsha Mattingly who began learning the business in 1977. |  |

Marsha Mattingly - President Marsha Mattingly has been servicing the hearing impaired since 1977. She began her career as a Hearing Care Practitioner, became a Partner of Beltone Hearing Aid Center in 1987 and sole Owner in 2000. Helen Keller once noted that of all of her impairments, she was perhaps troubled most by her lack of speech and hearing. She elaborated, that while blindness separated her from things, her lack of speech and hearing separated her from people-the human connection of communication. The National Institute on Deafness & Other Communication Disorders reports an estimated 28 million Americans have a hearing loss that can be treated; yet fewer than 7,000,000 use a hearing aid. Miss Mattingly has dedicated her life to changing these statistics, from the sweet lullaby of a songbird to the whispered “I love you”, it is Miss Mattingly’s passion to help those with a hearing loss hear the way they should. With genuine sincerity Miss Mattingly says, “One simple test can change your life." |  |

David Reimann - HCP Sales Manager-HTN David Reimann is a Licensed Hearing Care Practitioner and Sales Manager at our Home Office in Huntington, WV. In 2006, David moved from the Chicago area to Huntington, WV to help the hearing impaired. Mr. Reimann brings his passion for the hearing industry to every patient evaluation and test. He believes that because each person is unique, each hearing loss is unique. He takes the time to thoroughly evaluate each patient’s lifestyle as well as their hearing loss to find the hearing instrument that best suits their specific needs. "There is a misconception that hearing aids are a one size fits all product. This is not the case as each person is uniquely different, so is their hearing loss. I am 41 years old and have worn a hearing aid for the past 3 years, what might work for me may not work for someone else. That is why it is so important to come in, be tested properly and cared for as an individual." |  |
