Louisville, Ky -- Avada Audiology & Hearing Care Centers, operating subsidiary of Hearing Healthcare Management, Inc (HHM), has announced the opening of 21 hearing care centers around the U.S. since January 1, 2008. This brings the number of Avada Hearing Care Centers to more than 260 locations in 20 states.

Chief Executive Officer Steve Barlow states that the company's expansion and acquisition activities continue according to plan. “We are actively seeking high quality practice owners whose philosophies and practice standards mirror our own. We have a variety of scenarios where an existing owner can sell his practice and realize the real equity that has been created,” said Barlow. We also have opportunities for those who do not necessarily want to sell their practice at this point in time but want to begin to build their practice to its maximum value.

Avada is the only organization in the industry founded, owned and operated by hearing professionals with more than 350 years of senior management experience in patient care and advanced practice management.
