About Us
Our History
In 1983, Judith Arick and Judith Chasin started playing chamber music together. The “two Judys” were audiologists as well, so they decided to open a practice in Coolidge Corner.
In the last 40 years, we’ve seen hearing aids go through many changes in size, shape, and technological development. We’ve changed too. Today we are located near Cleveland Circle and have a few new faces, but we continue to offer exceptional patient care.
