Why I Became an Audiologist
My patients are always asking me what made me want to become an audiologist. I'll be the first to tell them it wasn't something I was dreaming of when I was a kid. I thought I was going to be the next Michael Jordan like most normal kids my age. The truth is, I had no idea what audiology even was until the end of my sophomore year of college. Up that that point, I was wandering around aimlessly in college using up mom and dad's tuition on classes that were taking me nowhere. It was then that a professor helped me focus on what my interests were and where I could utilize my potential. I took a class in Hearing Science and suddenly everything seemed to make sense.

Alzheimer's Patient and Lyric...A Perfect Fit!
I saw a patient last week that has been battling Alzheimer's disease for a few years. Coupled with a severe hearing loss, communication is often quite a challenge for her and her family.
Her husband purchased multiple hearing aids for her; unfortunately they were constantly being misplaced. We were able to figure out the perfect solution for her. We fit her with the Lyric which stays in the ears 24 hours a day/7 days a week. She no longer has to worry about taking them in and out and her husband no longer has to worry about her losing them. Better yet, even if she were to lose one, we put a new one in at no charge since it is covered under her subscription!
