our story

The Johnson’s Hearing Center tradition began more than 35 years ago, when Ralph E. Johnson committed his skills to helping others as a hearing instrument specialist, licensed in Illinois and Missouri. He and his wife, Erline, who took on the responsibilities of secretary, worked together to provide their expertise to the Riverbend. Johnson’s Hearing Center moved to its current location at 975 East Edwardsville Road in Wood River in early 1992.

In 1988, Johnson’s daughter, Barbara Well joined her father’s business as an Illinois certified hearing instrument specialist. Tiffany Well, Barb’s daughter, has worked in the office for over two years and is also licensed to sell hearing aids. Barb’s other daughter, Jennifer, also works at the office as a licensed hearing specialist.
