About Us

Joel Lipin of HAS, Inc. interviewed by Brad Pomerance of Time Warner’s Headline News.

HAS is a family-run business that serves the needs of the San Fernando Valley and surrounding communities by adhering to an unyielding commitment to the hearing impaired. We provide the highest level of care to our patients by treating them as family. In fact, hearing loss is a very personal matter for the Lipin family and it’s what inspired HAS founder Martin Lipin to launch the company in 1962: Martin Lipin, who would experience his own hearing loss resulting from acoustic trauma received during his service in the Korean War, never forgot the challenges he had as a child communicating with his father who had suffered hearing loss due to Scarlet Fever. Consequently, he spent a lifetime looking for new products and solutions to improve communication with his own hearing-impaired father and in the process was able to share newly-emerging products and technology with patients.  

"The patient doesn't care how much you know
until they know how much you care,"
says HAS founder Martin Lipin.

Through our commitment to leading-edge technology, expert training, continued education and high-quality products and service, our facilities are the best source for unparalleled products and patient service.

Educated in the sciences, Joel Lipin takes a special interest in the hearing aid technology that has evolved over the years. “When our father first started out in this profession more than 50 years ago, the technology was really in its infancy,” Joel Lipin says. “But today, we have programmable digital technology that is delivering exceptional results. Technology has brought great improvements and the evidence is in the improved satisfaction of our patients.” [Please visit the Testimonial Page to read comments from our many satisfied patients].

“New developments in technology have allowed the leading hearing aid manufacturers to fit more and advanced circuitry in less space,” says Eugene Lipin. “Now, some hearing aids are so small and discreet that they fit within the patient’s ear or even within the ear canal. This is very appealing to younger, more active hearing aid users – especially Baby Boomers.”
