Why Tympani Began.

What if more hearing care started before damage happened?

Founder Nora Visscher-Simon earned her Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree from Northwestern University. She stepped away from traditional audiology practice to focus on prevention and build a more personal way to deliver care.

Her belief shapes Tympani: good care should be grounded in evidence, explained in language you understand, and built around what matters to you.

What that means for you.


Your experience matters.


We ask about your activities, what you’ve tried, and what makes hearing protection hard to use.

You deserve clear answers.


We explain what we recommend and why, including the benefits, limits, and cost. There’s room for your questions.

Care includes the practical details.

We help with fit, show you how to use and care for your earplugs, and explain what happens next.
