A Personal Message From Owners Curtis Whicker Au.D. and Tana Whicker MS CCC-SLP 

Watching a parent, your child, or a loved one withdraw from conversations, struggle to express themselves, or miss out on life’s most precious moments is heartbreaking. Sadly, thousands of families across Montana face this reality every day.

Our journey began in the late 1990s when, as newlyweds, Curtis pursued audiology while Tana studied speech pathology. United by a shared vision, we dreamed of one day combining our expertise to work together.

That dream became a reality in 2002 when Hearing & Speech Connection opened its doors. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of adults and children across Billings, Miles City, and Glendive to reconnect with the world through advanced audiological care and the expertise of our state-leading Speech Pathologists.

As a proud family-owned practice, we’ve spent the past 23 years earning the trust of our community—helping tens of thousands regain clarity, confidence, and connection. With over a century of combined experience, and with a reputation for combining best practices with the latest technology, we’ve built a reputation for helping many others to achieve the outcomes that you’re looking for.

If you're looking for a hearing and speech center rooted in family values, passionate about communication, and committed to your well-being—hand on heart, you’re in the right place.

Not Just Following Audiological Best Practices, But Redefining Them 

Not Just Following Audiological Best Practices, But Redefining Them 

Many people believe that a hearing aid is the solution to a hearing loss.  

 

Yet if you ask somebody who has achieved sustainable and long-term results, they’ll tell you that the much more important part of the puzzle is working with the right hearing care provider. 

 

Better hearing is a journey, not a destination, and like any long-haul journey, it’s important that you have the right person beside you to set the GPS, to navigate the bumps in the road, and to make your journey as comfortable as possible. 

 

Through combining the latest technology, cutting-edge scientific developments, and the highest levels of patient care, we have earned a reputation for not just following best practices but continually redefining them, which has allowed us to help thousands of local people to achieve better hearing.

My 5 year old son has seen Natalie for speech therapy for the past year. I’ve been so pleased with his progress and really appreciate the time she takes to keep me informed and help me learn how to support him at home.
