Dr. Natalie M. McKee, Au.D., earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Northern Illinois University and her Clinical Doctorate in Audiology from Salus University.

Dr. McKee is very active in the community as a member of the Easterseals Central Illinois Bloomington-Normal Community Advisory Council and on the committee for the Burt Mercier Memorial Claybird fundraiser benefitting Timber Pointe Outdoor Center.

“BNA is my “go to place“ for all my auditory needs. I have been a patient there since 2019 and I have never had an untoward visit. The staff is relaxed and pleasant, the audiology doctors are not only professional, but they are patient and guide you in your hearing needs in a practical manner, not only educating you but helping you understand how to function at your best with your hearing aids and technology.
I would give them five stars all the way plus.
They have been there for me when I had an emergency and got Me in very quickly. Their selection of hearing devices is top notch. My newest hearing devices have such clarity that I hear sounds I’ve not heard in 25 years.
Their dedication and their efficiency is evident through the entire process from testing to fitting and follow up care.
As a retired medical professional, I can assure you they are the place to go for your auditory needs.”

“Bloomington Audiology has an outstanding staff led by Natalie McKee who has a Doctorate in Clinical Audiology. She is incredible in her knowledge of the hearing aid software. Having hearing impairment in one ear herself she really understands her patients’ needs and frustrations. She and her staff work very hard to make each patient experience very positive. I highly recommend this office.”

“I am a newer hearing aid user and want to say Bloomington Normal Audiology's method of testing and setting up for hearing aids is outstanding. Everyone is pleasant and professional and their service is second to no one and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I am so impressed with the time they take to fit and select the correct hearing aids. They spend so much time making sure everything is operating at the maximum and that you are happy. Thank you BNAudiology.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Hanley and the staff at Bloomington Normal Audiology for a couple years now. From the first visit I was impressed with their professionalism and expertise. Lately I had noticed a decline in my hearing. A new hearing evaluation identified the change in my hearing and changes were made to my devices. My hearing is now at a very high level. I always get the feeling from Dr. Hanley that she really cares and will do her very best to improve my hearing. That level of service and concern is very much appreciated.

“I’ve worn hearing aids for 30 years but this past January, 2022, was my first experience with Dr. McKee and BNA! It’s been nothing short of amazing!!
The staff is SO patient and I certainly had LOTS of questions; especially with the Blue Tooth technology that’s a part of my new hearing aids!
I’m absolutely amazed at how much better I can hear and others have noticed that difference, too!
This change to Bloomington Normal Audiology is one of the best things I’ve done for my hearing! They truly care about my success!
Highly recommend this facility!!”

“The folks at BNA are amazing! My father and husband chose BNA when contemplating help with their hearing and were happy and pleased that they did. So, when I finally decided it was time to address my own hearing challenges it was a natural choice. I could not be happier with the personal attention and care I have received. I’m enjoying the ability I now have to hear everything happening around me. I would definitely recommend BNA to everyone with a desire to improve their hearing.”

“The doctors and staff at Bloomington Normal Audiology were the best. Coming to terms with the fact that it is time to wear hearing devices is not always easy to accept. Dr. Johnson explained the entire process from, testing to walking out with the devices, in a very clear step by step, friendly and patient manner. I would highly recommend B/N audiology. ”

“I have not heard very well for many years and finally decided to get hearing aids from Bloomington Normal Audiology. After a hearing test was done, the hearing aids were set by a computer to my hearing loss. After 2 settings to the hearing aids, I am hearing sounds and voices that I have not heard for years. The hearing aids do not just increase the sound volume, they are set to your hearing needs. I think they are wonderful and Dr. McKee does everything possible to make sure the hearing aids are working to your hearing needs. I still cannot believe want hearing I had lost and what I can hear now!!!”

“I have been wearing hearing aids a little over a year that I had purchased from another business in Bloomington/Normal. I was very disappointed in the performance. They didn't seem to help my hearing much at all. I decided to talk to BNA and met with Dr. McKee. After a few adjustments the difference was incredible. The Dr. was genuinely concerned about my hearing loss and wanted to improve my quality of life. Dr. McKee called a week later just to check and see how I was getting along. BNA is a great place to do business and I highly recommend them!!”

“I am so pleased with the professionalism of the audiologists and staff at Bloomington Normal Audiology. The hearing test was thorough and comprehensive. Explanations and information concise and easy to understand. My hearing aids perform well, are comfortable and follow-up visits maintain their operational capacity.”

“Dr. McKee and Staff are the very best in the region. I was dealing with nerve damage that they understood was more than just amplification. I was also outside their network and they worked through that to find me a solution on a partial payment. I have no reservation about driving 45 miles. They are they best in the region. ”

“My Mother is 87 and is hearing better now than she has in ages. The doctors are up on the latest technologies and are passionate about their patients ability to hear well regardless of age. They have open hours on Weekdays to have hearing aids "checked" and even volunteer at a local assisted living facility. I highly recommend them ”

“I was apprehensive about wearing hearing aids, but am now pleased with them...and pleasantly surprised that I often forget that I'm wearing them. Having hearing aids has helped me during family (and other) gatherings because I can participate in conversations. Before, I wasn't sure I had heard what someone said, so was uncomfortable and reluctant to talk much.”

In today's healthcare climate, it is rare to find a practice where a patient is given the time and individual attention he or she deserves. B-N Audiology and Dr. D.

“I first saw Arica Rock at the Pontiac office,where she gave me a very through hearing exam. We then discussed my various options for my life style. She gave me a place on the internet to further look up my options so when I went back I knew what I wanted to order. I have now had my new hearing aids for a month, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Arica has helped me to enjoy all the things I was missing out on. I feel like I have a new lease on life. Thank you to all the good people at Bloomington Audiology ,”
