About Us

We opened Sikorski Hearing Aid Center, Inc. based on the belief that everyone deserves to hear better no matter his or her budget, lifestyle, or hearing needs. Simply put, there is no center like ours.  We don’t believe in selling hearing aids; rather, we believe in educating people on what constitutes hearing impairment, coping strategies, treatment options, instruments that may provide help, and access to medical professionals regarding surgical options.

Samantha currently owns and operates a hearing aid practice with two locations in Northern Wisconsin.  Though not a medical doctor, Samantha works with many Audiologists, physicians and ENT’s to bridge the gap that often exists in hearing healthcare.  Samantha specializes in practice administration (with regard to managed care participation as well as initiating the best practices for Hearing Care Professionals) and patient education.

Samantha got her start in the industry as an Occupational Hearing Conservationist in 2001. After developing Endolymphatic Hydrops in 2002, she switched gears from hearing loss prevention to hearing loss treatment options and became licensed by the state of Wisconsin as a Hearing Instrument Specialist.  She obtained her Audioprosthology designation in 2006 after completing a 13-month program and 120-hour practicum.  She worked for various private practices before opening her own practice in Spooner on December 8th, 2014.

Bridget

Patient Care Manager

Bridget has spent the majority of her life here in Rice Lake. She was first hired as a Scheduler and quickly moved to the role of Patient Care Coordinator. After a successful year in that role, Bridget was promoted to Patient Care Manager where she currently works in tandem with Ms. Sikorski to ensure our patient's needs are being met. From the new patient intake process to patient's who are electing to upgrade older technology - it all gets done because Bridget handles it.

While Bridget did not come into this profession with background in the medical field, she has an intimate understanding of the challenges of hearing loss as she, herself, wears hearing aids. Bridget is a naturally caring person who treats every patient fairly and with respect. She has five children and lives with her husband here in Rice Lake.

Val

Office Assistant

Val is an energetic, kind, and compassionate human being who spent a large majority of her career working in business administration. She came out of retirement to help Sikorski Hearing on a temporary basis - that was two years ago. Val is mostly part-time now but we are so thankful she lends her organizational skills to the practice.

Val currently resides in Sarona with her husband, Bill.

Kathryn Circle

 Kathryn

Accountant

Kathryn is, simply put, amazing.  She is the person who consistently monitors manufacturers invoices to make sure there are no mistakes, as well as monitors patient invoices to ensure that no errors have occurred.  She works along side Samantha to negotiate pricing to save our patients money.

Even though Kathryn works at Sikorski Hearing on a part-time basis, she is the first to jump in whenever a patient has a need. Her caring, compassionate personality is what makes her an incredible asset to the team.  Kathryn has been with Sikorski Hearing since 2015.

Kathryn lives in Spooner with her husband, Bob.

 Lesley

Accounts Payable Clerk

Lesley is new to the Rice Lake area and recently joined our team as a part-time Accounts Payable Clerk. While her position does not allow her time to interact with patients, she serves a very important role at the office - she makes sure our bills get paid on time!

She always listens and follows up with what she says she will do.  Always pushed my limit for improving my hearing ability.  It was the best thing I ever did and I found the center to be approachable, superior, and incomparable.  Samantha is principled, resourceful, and awfully smart

Ken Bluse

They give an excellent hearing test.  Samantha was very fun to work with.

Sikorski Hearing Center is professional, friendly, and honest. I tried other hearing centers.  They did not meet my needs.

Sikorski hearing aid center is the most caring business place I have ever been to in many years.  Samantha was wonderful as well as knowledgeable and helpful.  I enjoy doing business there.

Ken Hoecherl

I found Sikorski Hearing in the Weekender and decided to give them a try and I am very glad I did.  I had my hearing exam explained to me and I was very impressed when I was told that Sikorski would not sell me a hearing aid if it wouldn't help me.  Samantha really takes time for you.  I found the whole experience to be informative, helpful, courteous, and sincere.  Samantha was very caring, kind, concerned, and honest.

Carol Baier

I can highly recommend the Sikorski Hearing Center.  Samantha Sikorski provides her customers with a quality, professional hearing assessment.  She is very knowledgeable when it comes to your hearing and is very committed to providing you with the hearing aids that best meet your needs.  She is personable, professional, caring, and has a real passion for helping people to achieve a better hearing experience.  I have found Sikorski Hearing Aid Center to be pleasurable, helpful, and welcoming.  I'm very happy to call Samantha Sikorski my hearing instrument specialist.

Richard Nelson

Working with Sikorski Hearing Aid Center has been wonderful. Samantha was so kind and informative and really went above and beyond our expectations. She spent so much of her own time to fight to get our insurance to cover my hearing aids. We couldn't be happier.

Jamie Hill

I have so much confidence in Samantha's professionalism and compassion for solving hearing issues. I am thankful my wife, Mary, was able to join so that she could understand my hearing issues first hand; it has helped us tremendously. I will be following Samantha to her new practice in Spooner, because of her elevated level of knowledge, care and compassion for helping!

Rog Paulsen

I was ready to have my hearing checked and Sikorski Hearing Aid Center was the perfect fit in more ways than one.  The atmosphere was friendly, the audiologist was professional, and the prices were more than reasonable.  The staff was very pleasant, compassionate, and ethical.

Barbara Briggs

Samantha was kind and polite.  My experience with Sikorski Hearing Center was great.  I should have had hearing aids years ago.

Dale Meyers

I found Sikorski Hearing Center to be satisfying, relaxing, and courteous.  Since losing my hearing in a flying accident, I've been to many hearing specialists.  This center has been one of the best nationwide as to knowledge of hearing problems and professional skills.  Samantha was compassionate, friendly, and awesome.

Pat Weiss

I am so pleased with the thoroughness of learning about hearing loss and what hearing devices can and cannot do.  Also the affordability & Samantha working for the client to get the lowest possible price but high quality.
