In November of 2002, the first Happy Hearing Center opened for business in Kernersville, North Carolina. Originally, Tommy Collie opened the first office in Kernersville, with the assistance from his family, especially, Wayne Collie, Alan Collie, and Dianne Duke. Very quickly, additional service centers were opened in the central North Carolina to meet the growing demand for quality hearing aids at affordable prices. The first year proved to be very successful, and led to a partnership with "Affordable Hearing Centers of America" with several additional locations throughout North Carolina. In July of 2004, Happy Hearing Center purchased all of the business of Affordable Hearing Centers, and became, "Happy Hearing Centers of America." Then, one year later, in July of 2005, Tommy Collie purchased the company from his family. Offices are now located in Winston Salem, Kernersville, Greensboro, Wilmington, and Whiteville North Carolina. All of the previous owners, and the current owner are thankful for the opportunity, which we believe is only possible by God's grace, to help the hearing impaired in our communities.  It is our hope and prayer that many people who suffer from hearing loss will receive the same high quality care that we would expect if we were the customer.
