Celeste Dyer, HIS

Hearing Instrument Specialist

My name is Celeste Dyer. I’ve been working at Better Hearing Center for 25 years. Yes — 25 years! Boy time does fly by! I’ve been married to a local criminal attorney for sixteen years and we have two children, a girl and a boy. Addison is fifteen and our youngest, Charlie, is twelve. I have six brothers and several sister-in-laws. My dad, Tom, has owned this business for 20 years, so more than half my life I’ve heard about hearing and hearing aid technology. I started here in 1996 as the receptionist. I received my State of Wisconsin Hearing Instrument Specialist license in 2007, but I’ve been repairing hearing aids since ’96. Needless to say, if a hearing aid needs special work or repair, I’m the go-to-girl. I love my job, and I love the company I work for. I have 100% complete faith in the Audibel/Starkey brand and if you ever want a role model, take a look at Bill Austin (the owner of Starkey Hearing Technologies.) He has dedicated the past 60 years to helping people hear and understand better. He won’t rest until everyone has the best hearing they possibly can. It’s his passion, and also the passion of those at Audibel that fuel my love and my own dedication to this wonderful opportunity of helping others hear and understand better. I look forward to helping you on your hearing journey.

Tom Vierling, HIS

Owner

Tom holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Central Washington State University in Ellensburg, Washington. He has been in the hearing aid industry helping people have a better quality of life through better hearing since 1992, representing several manufacturer brands in that time. Tom is licensed to dispense hearing aids in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. Over the years, his business has won various awards, including a Regional Merit Award (one of only five dispensers in the country), and has been a member of Audibel’s Silver Club every year since 2001.

He is proud to represent an American Made Company, Audibel, and he strives for superb customer service and personal attention that you won’t find anywhere else.

Tom enjoys old cars and is a member of a local car club. In addition, he likes doing home improvement projects and traveling with his wife of nearly 40 years, Laura. Tom & Laura have two children and Tom has two stepchildren. Of the four kids, two are involved in the hearing aid business. His biggest gratification? Watching someone’s eyes light up when they first get hearing aids after years of not hearing properly.

After all, “Better Hearing is a Better Life!”

All of the tests went fine. Disappointed that I couldn’t walk out of there with hearing aids, wether to fit me or a sample pare to use and try out.

Today I stopped by without an appointment for a service issue with my left hearing aide. They immediately analyzed and fixed the issue. This has been my experience for the entire time I’ve had hearing aides. I really appreciate the whole team.

I went for coffee and cookies and a free cleaning of my hearing aids when I brought non-perishable food items for the food pantry today. The cookies were yummy handmade by the owners! It was a worthy cause. All around a nice event.

Great service right in Onalaska. I had testing done and it was detailed and quick. I was pleased with my appointment and would recommend their services to my friends and family.

I walked in to Better Hearing last Wednesday with a hearing aid that suddenly stopped working. I was in a panic, fearing that I might have to wait for replacement parts. I was worried about not having functioning hearing aids for the upcoming deer hunting season and the Thanksgiving holiday....

Stopped by because I wasn’t taking and getting my ear piece clean enough or properly not sure which but I was greeted with a smile and helped as soon as I went in. Better hearing is outstanding for service and they are always ready to help. Great place great customer...
