Take Five: Sound Hearing to Hold Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Thursday

Sound Hearing Centers is officially opening in the Dogwood Building in downtown Vienna Thursday evening with a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by the Vienna Business Association.

Sound Hearing Centers was created in 2008 by President Joel Silverman, who had been working with the hearing-impaired for nearly 20 years. The business's first location opened in Bethesda before Silverman chose to expand with a second location in Vienna.

The office can provide free hearing aid evaluation and consultation, fittings for up-to-date hearing aids, routine maintenance and repair of hearing aids as well as insurance for of a client's devices.

Silverman said the key to the business is its intimate relationships with its patients and its accommodating service, including the free evaluations.

"We really try to roll the red carpet out for our customers," Silverman said. "We give them service for life; cleanings, testings and programming. I'm the owner, but I'm also the one dealing with our clients."

The ribbon cutting ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m. at Suite G of the Dogwood Building on Maple Ave. Members of the Vienna Business Association and Town Council are likely to attend.
