Wayne Hoffman, HIS
After working 30 years for IBM, Wayne, along with his son Jon, opened the Hearing Aid Company of Texas in 1990. Under the name Hearing Aid Factory, they manufactured their own hearing aids in the office in the onsite lab. Business began growing so fast that in 1994, they changed to a full-service clinic and renamed the company the Hearing Aid Company of Texas.
Since then, the company has grown, adding hearing clinics in Portland, Beeville, Calallen, Kingsville, Houston and the Rio Grande Valley. What has not changed is the commitment to exceptional quality patient care and state of the art technology in hearing care products.
While retired, he is very involved in daily business operations and still finds time to stop by various locations. Wayne’s favorite past times include traveling, working out at the Corpus Christi Athletic Club, motorcycles and cars.
