About Our Family

Hull Family

Raymond Haywood (Woody) Hull began his career helping the hard of hearing community on his 22nd birthday, March 8, 1938. He worked in the Army Hearing Center at Bordon General Hospital in Chickasha, Oklahoma to help the GI’s returning home from World War II with hearing problems. He came to Richmond in 1952, then to Washington DC and then to our current location in Falls Church in 1969. Joseph “Jed” Donohoe married Woody Hull’s youngest daughter, Helen, in 1979, the same year he began working at Hull Hearing Aid Service, Inc. Jed received invaluable training from Woody Hull until he retired 7 years later. Jed has had a permanent state license in Virginia and is still available in our office. Jed’s daughter is the very popular Marie who will normally be the first one you see coming into our office. She manages our office. Jed and Helen’s son Brent has a permanent state license in Virginia and is certified by the National Board for Certification in Hearing Instrument Sciences (NBC-HIS). Brent seems to have a knack for the more technical aspects of hearing instruments as well as Bluetooth and Assistive Devices.

Since 1938, Hull Hearing Aid Service, Inc. has dedicated itself to enhancing peoples lives through better hearing because we believe that better hearing is better living.
