Hearing Healthcare in Charleston, SC
When it comes to hearing aids, Derrick and Nancy Woods are thrilled to bring Holy City Hearing technology to the people of Charleston. After 30 years of managing large manufacturing facilities, it became time for a career and lifestyle change for Derrick. He promised his wife Nancy, an interior designer, no more factory life! The lure of starting up their own business had always been brewing. What they wanted was a business that would fulfill three definite needs:
- To help the older demographic.
- To become involved in their community through clubs, charities, etc.
- To run a business of integrity with a competitive advantage.
After a couple of months of intense research, they discovered that helping people improve their lives through better hearing fit all three goals. This decision was easy for Derrick. He has had ear problems since he was a toddler. Those hearing struggles are now over for Derrick. Not only is Derrick the owner of Holy City Hearing, he’s also a patient and gives great testimony. He has lived most of his life with poor hearing and knows the learning curve with hearing aids.
The hearing aids we carry have both technological and economic advantages. The vision is to get involved and spread the word about Holy City Hearing in the Lowcountry and, by doing so, help people improve their lives!
