Hearing Care Focused on Your Individual Needs
Helton Hearing Care is a full-service audiology clinic, providing the best hearing healthcare in Bozeman, Montana, Gallatin County, and its surrounding area for over 40 years. Our three Doctors of Audiology have over six decades of collective experience, and all of them hold National Board Certification from the American Board of Audiology (ABA). They believe in client/family-centered and evidence-based solutions to an individual’s hearing needs. Our focus, at all times, is to empower and partner with our clients to increase their ability to hear and understand in the situations with which they have been struggling. And we promise, you will never be pressured to purchase or to make an immediate decision.
The first step in finding the solution for your hearing challenges is a comprehensive, in-depth hearing evaluation performed by an experienced Doctor of Audiology. You will not be given a mere “hearing screening.” This is crucial, because the more information we have about your specific hearing health, the greater our ability to precisely tailor a solution to your needs.
If, and only if, test results indicate amplification is appropriate, our audiologists will work with you to find the hearing technology that best fits your individual hearing loss and budget. Just as no two clients have the same needs, expectations or desires, no two brands of hearing devices will have the same abilities to address those challenges. At Helton Hearing Care, we are constantly researching and testing a wide array of available technologies so that we can fit our clients with the best hearing instruments for them. One size does not fit all.
Your hearing connects you to your family, community and loved ones. Choosing the right audiologist is an important decision and the personal relationships you will develop with the professionals and staff at Helton Hearing Care will continue long after your initial appointment. We understand that ongoing counseling, periodic adjustments and regular hearing aid cleanings are vital to your continued satisfaction with your investment in better hearing and we are committed to being here to support your every need.

Our Success Stories
"After 77 years my hearing loss is asymmetric and tricky to correct. Helton has stuck with me through many experiments and adjustments and, I’m happy to say, my hearing devices are working for me in a remarkable way. There are plenty of outfits who will sell you hearing devices but if you want the best hearing improvement that can be accomplished, and truly your money’s worth, work with Will Helton and his colleagues. They remain available to give you help and service long after the fly-by-nights have left town."

Buying a hearing aid is a fairly major investment, and I appreciate the on-going support and customer service I will received from Helton Hearing Care to make sure my aids provide the best hearing experience possible."

"For years, I struggled with hearing aids. They didn't fit and whistled so bad it was hard on my nerves. I saw the Helton Hearing ad on TV and decided to try them. I am amazed with the performance of the new aids. They fit fine and there is no noise. I am very grateful to Dr. Helton and his great staff. I am treated like family there."

"After 20 plus years of wearing hearing aids and investing thousands of dollars in at least 5 different instruments, I still could not hear! Sound familiar? Volume was not an issue, but speech was! As a last resort, after someone suggested to me that I may be a candidate for cochlear implant, I initiated a search on the internet! I discovered that Helton Hearing was only a little over 100 miles away, and decided to give them a try. When I contacted the office, the staff asked specific questions about my current condition and hearing aids. I realized that this was not going to be "business as usual."
Through the professional expertise of Dr. Helton I was fitted with new hearing aids appropriate to my hearing loss. He quickly diagnosed my problems and knew the correct instrument for my hearing loss! He was generous with his time and I never felt that he was in a hurry! Thanks to Dr. Helton and his wonderful staff, I have a new connected life. One filled with sounds and friends and conversation and laughter. The professional expertise, kindness and genuine caring of Dr. Helton and his staff are so very helpful in restoring my hearing."
