About Our Agency

Since 1942, Constance Brown Hearing Centers has been listening to patients and helping them enjoy better hearing.

As a nonprofit agency we work to prevent, identify, evaluate and rehabilitate problems caused by hearing disorders. We perform diagnostic testing and prescribe hearing aids, but we also offer advocacy and specialized programs that serve area residents from newborn to the elderly.

Each of our audiologists is certified, licensed and has expertise in many areas of audiology. Doctors and patients have trusted Constance Brown Hearing Centers for more than 65 years. You can trust us, too.

Under the auspices of the Kiwanis Club of Kalamazoo, the Constance Brown Hearing and Speech Center, now called the Constance Brown Hearing Centers, was founded in 1942 as the Constance Brown Society for Better Hearing.

The Centers bear the name of a prominent local resident who had, herself, experienced hearing loss. In 1939, she left the bulk of her estate to the Kalamazoo Community Foundation to be used to establish a non-profit agency to prevent hearing loss and to help the hearing impaired.

Constance Brown Hearing Centers is a member agency of the Greater Kalamazoo United Way. CBHC is an approved provider for many insurance carriers as well the Michigan Department of Public Health Children's Special Health Care Services and the Michigan Family Independence Agency - Title XIX Medicaid.

The Centers are supported by fees for services; the Greater Kalamazoo United Way; the Kalamazoo Community Foundation through the Constance Brown Trust; and by individual and organizational contributions. Gifts to the Centers are needed and welcomed, and are tax-deductible.
Control of the Centers is vested in a volunteer board of directors that includes broad community representation.
