At Hearing Aid Studio in Wilmington, NC, we believe better hearing shouldn’t come with unnecessary costs or confusion. Founded and guided by audiology professionals with decades of experience, our approach is refreshingly simple: you only pay for the services and technology you truly need. That means no hidden fees, no bundled packages—just honest, unbundled pricing that puts you in control from day one.

Dr. Terri Lightbody, Au.D., brings over thirty years of audiology expertise—and a genuine passion for helping others reconnect with the sounds they love. A recognized lecturer and community advocate, she is deeply devoted to ensuring accessibility to high-quality hearing care for all. Alongside her, Scot Lightbody, a licensed Hearing Aid Specialist with extensive personal and professional experience, provides empathetic guidance to help each patient choose devices that match their lifestyle and preferences, while keeping cost in mind.

We offer a full spectrum of hearing health services—from diagnostic hearing evaluations and earwax removal to fitting, repair and fine-tuning of hearing aids. Whether you need prescription-level devices or are comparing over the counter alternatives, we tailor the experience to fit your hearing profile, comfort level, and daily needs.

At our practice, you'll find one of the largest selections of premium hearing aid brands in the Wilmington area—including Signia, Phonak, Oticon, Widex, Starkey, Sony and more. We offer the latest in rechargeable, Bluetooth enabled, in canal or behind the ear models—so you can stay connected to your life, sound by sound.

We are a locally owned and operated practice committed to making hearing care more accessible and more affordable for our community. We serve Wilmington and surrounding communities—from Carolina Beach and Leland to Oak Island.
If you’ve been struggling to hear well or feel like traditional hearing care has been complicated or priced beyond reach, we’d love to help you find clarity, confidence, and connection—through better hearing.
