Why I Became an Audiologist
“I became an audiologist because there is so much value to hearing that we take for granted. I received the gift of a cochlear implant at the age of two, and it has blessed me in so many ways. I would not be where I am now without it. I so enjoy working with both adults and children with hearing loss, and love the connection that we have in sharing the experience of hearing loss.” ~ Dr. Ashley Dougherty, AuD
