Acadia Hearing Center was founded in the mid 1980s in affiliation with the medical practice of Bangor Ear, Nose & Throat (BENT). In 2004, with the closing of BENT, ownership of Acadia Hearing Center was assumed by David Cuthbertson as an independent hearing healthcare private practice. We have offices very conveniently located in Ellsworth and Bangor, Maine. We see patients in Calais once a month as well.
