Going forward, Miracle Ear expects to expand bluetooth connectivity to additional sound sources.

What does a World War II flying ace have to do with better hearing?

Everything, according to Joyce Hill Cooley, owner of Miracle Ear Hearing Center in Cape Girardeau, Jackson and Perryville.

That highly decorated flier, Ken Dahlberg, survived being shot down over Europe three times, and after the war began dabbling in the hearing business. By 1948, he had developed the first pillow speaker for hospital beds. Later, Dahlberg Electronics developed the first in-the-ear hearing device, revolutionizing hearing aid technology.

Today, Miracle Ear provides an exhaustive amount of hearing aid services, including testing, fitting, and repair services while also handling medical and rehabilitation referrals, oral rehabilitation and assistive devices.

"Our goal is to successfully assist our customer in hearing better, no matter what their situation or economic state," said Cooley.

Going forward, Miracle Ear expects to expand Bluetooth connectivity to additional sound sources, reach out to the communities it serves, and continue working to assist children in need through the Miracle Ear Children's Foundation.

"Hearing and understanding is such a basic human need, and losing that ability can be devastating," said Cooley. "Today's technology allows us to show so many of our customers exactly what a miracle sounds like."
