Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
8 years in Florida, 20 years total.
What is your primary product or service?
Audiology services including comprehensive hearing evaluations, hearing aid fitting and dispensing, counselling and ear wax removal.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I first became interested in audiology because of family members with hearing and speach issues. My mother had hearing loss and my younger daughter had a seizure disorder which affected her expressive language ability. I began a program of Communicative Disorders at San Francisco State University to help both of them. I gravitated to audiology whole heartedly as it became apparent my daughter was going to be fine. I moved to Kansas City to continue my masters program in audiology in 1993 at the University of Kansas after retiring from the US Army with 20 years of service. With the help of my wife's encouragement, I completed my doctorate (Au.D.) in 2008, the same year we moved to Florida. It's been a rewarding career so far, and we are continuing into the future.
