Our Professional Staff
Our experienced providers are committed to a high standard of patient care and are here for you throughout every stage of your hearing journey.
Who We Are
At Advanced Audiology, we feel strongly that our job is to educate you as much as possible on your hearing loss and provide you with enough information on your options so that you can make the decision that is best for you.
Hearing is very personal and can affect many areas of your life. It is our goal to get to know you well enough to understand which situations you struggle in the most and which are the most important for improved hearing. This helps us establish a set of goals as we move forward.
We encourage you to bring significant others or family members with you to your appointments. In our line of work, the more sets of ears the better! It also helps us to get to know the people that care about you the most, so we can all work together towards your goals.
