General Info
HCRI was founded by Ronald L. Webster, Ph.D. in 1972 to investigate stuttering with scientific methods and new treatment approaches. Under Dr. Websters direction, Virginia-based HCRI, a nonprofit organization, has become an international leader in stuttering research and the development of innovative, scientifically based therapy approaches. The Institute's work has enabled the definition of specific speech behaviors that replace the distorted muscle activities that produce stuttering. This has led to therapy developments, ongoing treatment refinements, and the creation of new treatment tools that enhance fluency outcomes. U.S. patents have been awarded to HCRI for some of these stuttering therapy innovations. Our research scientists have tested and retested HCRIs therapy system with thousands of people who stutter. In addition, we have created new ways to use technology in therapy that make the learning of lasting fluency skills straightforward and practical.
Reviews
Good personalized service for both myself and my wife. While Dr. Macalister has retired, the staff that now serves clients are capable and take time to ensure your hearing aids are maintained in good order, that you have periodic hearing tests, and that you are fully satisfied with their support. In my experience, the non-profit HCRI is a way better solutions for hearing aids than the usual salespeople at the usual retail centers.

I highly recommend Dr. McAllister located at the Hearing Center of the Hollins Communication Research Institute on Enon Drive in Hollins. We needed a resonably priced hearing aid for my father and Dr. McAllister was able to accomplish this. Great person too.

A highly recommended local favorite. Audiologist Dr. Duncan McAllister has been the authority on selection and prescribing of hearing aids in the Roanoke Valley for many years. I have had my hearing aids for four years, and have been completely satisfied. I needed a repair on one that had been exposed to corrosive steam, and was out of warantee; they got it repaired for a very reasonable price, and it works well now.
