Living in Arizona for over 30 years, Tina has worked in hearing healthcare for nearly a decade. She is Arizona Board licensed and has been certified by the National Board in Hearing Instrument Sciences.
In her late twenties, Tina’s brother, Bary, discovered her hearing loss. A doctor of audiology, he noticed she was missing certain sounds and phrases. Born with a congenital hearing loss, Bary had worn hearing aids since he was five years old. Tina has worn hearing aids now for over 20 years. With her brother as mentor, Tina began working in the hearing healthcare industry several years ago. They worked together in Peoria and Mesa, and now Tina has her own office in Ahwatukee, where she currently resides.
Dealing with her brother’s and then her own hearing loss, Tina knows what a toll it takes on communication, not only with family but also, work associates and friends. She has a teenage son and is reminded daily how important communication is. Remembering how difficult it could be to communicate with her brother growing up, she feels empathy toward her son when she isn’t wearing her hearing aids.
Tina believes in a holistic rehabilitation process. Her goal is not to sell you hearing aids, but to help you hear and enjoy life again. As you can see on the blog, hearing loss is now linked to dementia, short term memory loss, heart health, balance issues, and more. Good hearing is vital to a healthy and active lifestyle. Tina looks forward to meeting and assisting you to better hearing health!
