Kristen's interest in Audiology stems from having a sister who developed hearing loss as an infant, and a longing to help her stay ahead of the best technology available.  Kristen obtained her Masters Degree in Audiology from the University of North Texas.  In July of 2009, she earned her Doctorate Degree in Audiology at the University of Pennsylvania.  Before working at Austin Ear Clinic, Kristen worked for a private hearing aid practice for several years fitting and dispensing hearing aids.  While with the practice she managed a satellite clinic in Georgetown.  She joined Austin Ear Clinic in January 2007.  She administers neurodiagnostic testing (ABR, OAE, ECOG, VNG, ENOG), and also fits and dispenses a wide variety of hearing aid types (including the new Lyric).

Amy is a native Texan. She finished her Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Audiology (with honors) at The University of Texas at Austin. She then completed her clinical fellowship at Texas ENT Consultants in the Houston Medical Center, where she was in charge of all neurodiagnostic testing (ABR, OAE) and hearing aid fittings for infants and young children. She is currently the only specialist in Austin and Central Texas who is certified to provide Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) for children with hearing loss. In July of 2009, she completed post-graduate work for her AVT certification (through the AG Bell Foundation's Academy for Listening & Spoken Language). Amy joined Austin Ear Clinic in 2002, where she has been coordinator for all cochlear implant services. In addition to AV Therapy, she provides cochlear implant programming and related services for patients from birth to 90+ years of age. She programs cochlear implants for all three FDA approved manufacturers (Cochlear Americas, Advanced Bionics, Med-El).
