"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.

"Blindness separates you from things. Deafness separates you from people"

I started being fascinated with hearing aids since I was 8 years olds when my grandfather came to live with us. I started my career in Deaf Education and came to really appreciate the impact hearing loss can have on you and those you love. I transitioned to working with hearing aids and have helped thousands of people remain connected and overcome the impact of their hearing loss. I understand the hearing industry from product development through my work as a manufacturing rep to process in my work with each and every individual I have helped. I love the difference better hearing can make in a person's life. I would love to be your audiologist.

"You deserve someone you can trust, to bring you clear information about new hearing technology, so you can make informed decisions about you hearing healthcare."

I have dedicated my career to helping people enjoy a better quality of life through the use of hearing aids. Seventeen years in the hearing industry have given me valuable experience in hearing aid fittings, and with my continuing training and education, 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 s strong responsibility to help others through my volunteer work.

It is an exciting time to be in the hearing healthcare field. New digital technologies are being developed, and that means advanced training is a must in order for us to put these tools to use for you. The entire clinical staff at Audicare Hearing Centers works diligently to master the latest technologies through advanced training seminars. This is why we are confident in offering the Audicare Commitment, which guarantees your satisfactions.

"There is no single solution to address your hearing needs. You deserve someone who is committed to helping you find the best solution to fit your lifestyle"

After completing my formal education, I quickly realized that there is a world of knowledge outside the classroom. I have always valued hearing because my initial background is in the music industry. I can appreciate experiencing the fullness of a Beethoven Symphony, and I am committed to helping you hear as well as possible with the clarity that today's hearing technology that can provide. In addition to the thorough training provided by Dr. Marlene Bevan, I have gathered valuable insight into the hearing aid fitting process from my clients. Your feedback has enabled me to apply my knowledge in a caring manner to help you overcome the effects of hearing loss. I am constantly continuing my education through seminars and training courses related to hearing loss, hearing aids and advanced hearing solutions.
