Kim LaCross, M.A., CCC–A – Audiologist
“The available technology is great, but in order to be effective, you must first understand the client’s specific needs.”
I came to Audicare Hearing Center from Alpena, MI. For 23 years I worked with clients of all ages in an Otolaryngology office.
I was very active in the Lions Club Hearing program, where I served as the committee chairperson for many years. I also worked on a steering committee to initiate the infant hearing screening program at Alpena Regional Medical Center. I’m proud to say that all hospitals in Michigan now screen newborns for hearing loss. I enjoy the challenges that various clients bring to our center. The advancements in hearing technology are wonderful, but mostly I love getting to know clients on a personal level and help them achieve success so that they can enjoy a full life without being hindered by a hearing loss.
Jeanne L. Lynch, Audioprosthologist
“You deserve someone you can trust to bring you clear information about new hearing technology, so you can make informed decisions about your hearing healthcare.”
I have dedicated my career to helping people enjoy a better quality of life through the use of hearing aids. Twenty four years in the hearing industry have given me valuable experience meeting people’s lifestyle needs through the use of the latest amplification technologies. This is an exciting time to be in the hearing healthcare field! By attending ongoing training and education seminars, I am able to keep up with all of the technical advances in the hearing aid industry and put them to work for you!
My concern for people goes well beyond the offices here at Audicare Hearing Centers. As a member of this community, I feel a strong responsibility to help others through my volunteer work.

I am active in our Community as a parent, a volunteer and I love the people I have met in Northern Michigan.
I have two children in the Traverse City Area Public Schools and volunteer in their classes to add the extras that make education so worthwhile. Our son has just started to play hockey and his father hopes it will be a lifelong commitment. Our daughter is a participant in the TAG (talented and gifted program) and keeps us all on our toes. I am fortunate to have found a professional position that allows me to continue working with wonderful folks and also allows me the time I need to be a full-time parent.

A lifelong commitment to better hearing in Northern Michigan
I moved to Petoskey in 1990 and fell in love with Northern Michigan and the small town life. For twenty five years I worked closely with Petoskey Ear, Nose and Throat physicians and assisted them in the diagnosis of medically based hearing loss in both children and adults. I developed their program for hearing aid dispensing providing both sales and service to hearing aid users.
I joined Audicare Hearing Centers in January of 2012 to further my commitment to provide the highest quality service and hearing advice to adults seeking to overcome the effects of hearing loss in their lives. I am excited by the extraordinary technology we provide and the value we offer to all of our clients. My goal is to provide you with amazing service as we work together to improve your life with better hearing.
Participation in our Community as a Parent, a participant and a believer in all Northern Michigan has to offer each of us.
I was a Girl Scout leader for my oldest daughter for 12 years and many in the troop achieved the Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouts. Several co-leaders and I were awarded the Presidential Lifetime Volunteer Award. I provided hearing screenings at Senior Centers and hearing aid services to adults who participated in those meetings. I am an active volunteer at church today.
