❝ SOMETIMES I GET ASKED, “WHY AUDIOLOGY” 

Sounds connect us to memory, to emotion, to each other.

I’ve always appreciated the sounds that fill my own life: my Dad listening to classical music (albeit too loud), the sound of my husband and me cooking in the kitchen, or my favorite show playing in the background.

My answer is simple - I love the sounds in my life, and I’m lucky to help others hear theirs. ❞
