IT ALL STARTED WITH A QUESTION IN 2014...
Why are hearing aids so expensive?
Great question.
Why is the hearing aid industry so confusing? Why is it so hard to comparison shop for hearing aids? I couldn’t find satisfying answers to these questions. This inspired me to create ZipHearing. To lower prices. To increase transparency. To make buying hearing aids more fair. That is my pledge to you. Since 2014, ZipHearing has had the honor of keeping that commitment to over 18,000 customers. I hope you’ll be our next.
Jeff Hall, Founder & President
Meet the ZipHearing team
A group of people on a mission to make better hearing more accessible.
Jeff leads the vision and strategy for ZipHearing, driven by a mission to increase accessibility to high-quality hearing care nationwide.
When not working, Jeff can be found double faulting on San Diego’s tennis courts and spending time with his wife and two young daughters.
Michaela earned her doctorate in audiology in 2024 and draws on her private-practice experience as host of ZipHearing’s YouTube channel, helping viewers navigate the world of hearing aids.
Michaela enjoys Gulf Coast beach days, trail walks, and coffee stops with her husband, son, and golden retriever. She also loves a good workout.
Grant brings nearly 20 years of deep industry experience to ZipHearing, where he guides and supports the sales consultants to ensure they deliver the best possible customer experience.
Fueled by caffeine and 1990s grunge nostalgia, Grant can often be found enjoying Nashville’s live music scene.
Derrick draws on 15 years of in-clinic dispensing experience and work with leading over-the-counter hearing aid companies to help customers find the right fit for their needs and budget.
When not working, Derrick can be found playing with his young son and daughter, exploring philosophy, or annoying his wife.
Shawn brings a background in health coaching and hearing aid sales. He helps customers understand their options and find hearing aids that fit their needs and lifestyle.
Despite growing up in New York and now living in San Diego, Shawn is a huge fan of the Minnesota Twins, Vikings, and Timberwolves. He also enjoys working out and spending time with his wife, family, and their Pomeranian “son,” Blue.
Ivan has been building websites for over 15 years — a journey that started back in his school days. As ZipHearing’s Lead Developer, he keeps the digital experience running smoothly behind the scenes.
When he’s not shipping code, Ivan is fishing, longboarding, or sipping a non-alcoholic beer. But ask him to choose between work and hobbies and he’ll pick work every time — programming is his real thrill.

Our commitment to you
Local care is
always included
Most of our competitors simply mail hearing aids to their customers and provide "remote care." We don't think remote care is in your best long-term interest. That's why we've invested in building out a nationwide provider network of 750+ locations to support you before, during, and after your purchase.
Genuine products, direct from the manufacturer
Many online hearing aid companies are not authorized retailers and they don't buy hearing aids directly from the actual manufacturers. We maintain direct relationships with each of the manufacturers we sell, guaranteeing your hearing aids are always brand new and directly from the original manufacturer.
Better hearing
or your money back
We think you'll love your new hearing aids. But if you don't, just return them to your local ZipHearing provider during your 45 day trial period. You'll receive a same-day 100% refund. No catch, no fine print. Our goal is to make the return process easy and hassle-free, because we hope you'll try hearing aids again with us in the future.
Are we the right choice for you?
We can help you if...
WE'RE STRAIGHT SHOOTERS.
