Our Story
Wesson Hearing Aid Center has been a trusted hearing health care provider in San Joaquin County since 1979. The business was founded on the “Golden Rule” principal. Douglas B. Wesson, BC-HIS, ACA, owner and founder, was a Board Certified-Hearing Instrument Specialist, Board Certified Audioprosthologist, and California State Licensed Hearing Aid Dispenser. In 2018, Julia Tyner, Hearing Instrument Specialist, acquired the practice from Doug. Now, she helps patients all throughout California experience better hearing.
Wesson Hearing Aid Center has 5 convenient locations—Manteca, Ripon, Tracy, Modesto, and Stockton.
Each of our clinics is a full-service hearing aid office which provides the same prompt, courteous, and professional hearing healthcare services including hearing tests, consultations, hearing aid selection, fitting and adjusting, hearing aid sales, maintenance, and other assistive listening options.
