WHO ARE WE?

Green's Oto Supplies was started in 1985 by Tom and Pat Green. Realizing the opportunity to manufacture foam ear stops in the USA, Tom and Pat designed the first machine and went to work! 

Eventually moving to Sandpoint, Idaho, Tom and Pat raised three sons while business kept getting busier and busier. Eventually, Tom and Pat wanted to retire. Like most small business founders, they did not want just anyone to buy the business, they wanted to make sure what they worked on for so many years would not only survive, but thrive! This is where their son Nathan came in.  

With a young family, Nathan and Cherise Green dove head first. Purchasing the business and moving close to Cherise's family in Eugene, Oregon, Nathan and Cherise have been successful in running Green's Oto Supplies since 2017.  

In 2019, Nathan and Cherise were looking to expand the business and they thought they had found the perfect addition. Then the Pandemic hit! All of a sudden audiologists offices were closed and the orders dried up quick. This situation proved Nathan and Cherise were correct, it was time to diversify Green's Oto Supplies. As they made their way through the Pandemic, the orders started rolling in again. Things started looking up, so Nathan and Cherise resumed talks with Jodi-Vac.  

Jodi-Vac was started over 20 years ago by John and Kat Maidhof. John not only served in the Air Force, but he has decades of experience as a Hearing Aid Technician. One day, a client asked if John knew of a machine he could use at home to clean his own hearing aids. John did not, so he simply made one, and Jodi-Vac was born! Not settling for the first model, John made many prototypes and went through many variations before coming up with his line of Jodi-Vac Hearing Aid Cleaning Machines.  

John and Kat got to know Nathan and Cherise and felt Green's Oto Supplies would be the best new home for Jodi-Vac, a small family run business that will keep Jodi-Vac's ideas alive.  

Since then, Green's Oto Supplies has grown responsibly and continues both Tom and Pat's and John and Kat's legacy.
