Meet your hearing specialist

Russell Broadhead

While working for one of the largest corporate hearing practices, Russell saw a shift from patient hearing healthcare to big business and insurance companies focusing on the $$$ rather than the patients needs. Sick of seeing the decline in overall healthcare, Russell left and founded Heroes of Hearing, an independent hearing healthcare clinic, headquartered in Tucson, AZ. Heroes of Hearing is known for treating its patient as real people and not just a number, seeing patience sooner to meet their needs, providing thorough hearing examinations, caring about their patients health and quality of life, and impacting communities changing lives.

Throughout his hearing journey Russell has learned the value of listening and treating others as he would like to be treated. As an entrepreneur Russell wears many hats, but his favorites are those of proud husband and father. His family has grown to a whopping 8 children; five beautiful, dramatic daughters and three handsome, energetic sons. And one saintly wife! He loves playing with them and watching them grow. He is a life-long learner and is actively learning the secrets to creating a thriving life and is on a mission to impact the world and help others create a legacy of a life well lived!

THE BEGINNING | 1984

Russell's first interaction with hearing loss as he stood in the doorway to his grandfather's TV room. Yelling "Grandpa... Grandpa... it's me Russell." This small boy Interprets the moment as his grandpa must not care about him because grandpa is ignoring him...

SERVICE IN AFRICA | 1999

Russell served a two year humanitarian and ministering mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Africa. He has the opportunity to live in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi.

GRADUATION | 2005

He learned how to work hard from his blue collar parents and caught the entrepreneurial bug while attending Utah State University. Just before graduation he met the love of his life Jenny. They both earned their degrees in May 2005 and were married that September.

THE CALL TO CHICAGO | 2012

In 2012, Russell was introduced to the world of hearing healthcare by a friend. After months of intensive training he became licensed in Illinois and was asked by one of the largest privately owned hearing practices in the US to run their 3rd oldest clinic. The family of now six moved to Chicago, IL and made some lifelong friends.

After four successful years Russell began to notice subtle changes coming down from corporate. He had always enjoyed the friendships he was able to form with his patients and strove to provide the best service possible. But now the powers that be were shifting their focus from patient healthcare to dollar signs. The writing was on the wall that the company was going to be sold and anyone could be on the chopping block. This uncertainty caused him to resign and seek out an opportunity for growth and the ability to support his growing family.

THE WALL | 2016

In 2016 the family of now eight (!) moved to Tucson, AZ to begin a new hearing practice from scratch. This new company promised equity and a chance to expand, however that turned out to be more smoke and mirrors. Thoroughly frustrated Russell resigned and he and Jenny did some major soul searching.

HEROES OF HEARING | EST . 2018

In 2018 Russell started his own independent hearing practice, Heroes of Hearing. Now he would be able to help his patients to the best of his ability without answering to ‘the man’.

Traditional healthcare has become a numbers game and a huge problem. Practitioners are scheduled months out and patients wait for hours in a crowded waiting room. Once they are finally seen they are often treated like a number and have mere minutes of face time. They often return home confused and frustrated.

With these challenges in mind, Russell founded Heroes of Hearing which prides itself on their ability to offer prompt, personalized service that keeps the needs of the patient as their number one priority.

WELLNESS CENTER | 2022

In 2022 after seeing his patients health declines due to the 2020 COVID pandemic. Russell was looking for other ways to improve his patients lives. What's the point of being able to hear better if your health is terrible and you can't enjoy your life. He added ReCharge sessions to improve the health of his patients. Now his patients are not only hearing better but feeling better.
