Hearing Loss: Choosing the Right Audiologist

If you only heard with your ears, then any audiologist would do…but the truth is, it’s your brain processing what you hear. And no matter how state of the art your hearing instrument may be, it will not do you any good if it’s not properly programmed and adjusted by a licensed and trained audiologist! That is why the Doctors at Hearing Health Center take the time to learn all about you, establish a relationship with you and your family, and provide YOU with a solution for your hearing problems that suits YOUR individual needs.

What to look for:

Ronna Fisher

Dr. Ronna Fisher, AuD, CCC-A, FAAA is the founder and president of Hearing Health Center, which she established in 1984 in memory of her father, who suffered from untreated hearing loss and died at 53. That personal loss has shaped her entire career. Under her leadership, Hearing Health Center has been voted the best hearing practice in Illinois three years in a row by Hearing Review. In 2005, she expanded her mission by founding the Fisher Foundation for Hearing Health Care, a nonprofit dedicated to making auditory care more accessible. Dr. Fisher earned her doctorate in audiology from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry and holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology (CCC-A) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology and a member of the Academy of Dispensing Audiologists. Today, Dr. Fisher is focused on the growing body of research linking untreated hearing loss to dementia and cognitive decline, and committed to making sure both patients and the medical community understand what is at stake. As she puts it: You can't remember what you didn't hear.
