Staff
Craig Schlumbohm,
HIS
Hearing Instrument Specialist
Craig has been involved in healthcare for more than 40 years. First, during his eight years as an active duty Navy Corpsman, he learned the fundamentals of patient care, acquired his education, and served in various capacities at the naval hospitals in Portsmouth Virginia and Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Florida. Craig studied at the Naval School of Health Sciences in Tidewater, VA, George Washington University and Southern Illinois University. Upon leaving the Navy, he continued his education and passion for patient care while working as a Radiology Technologist and Chief MRI Technologist in Jacksonville, FL. Craig's passion for knowledge and his compassion for all people led him to serve in various capacities in medical and civic settings.
Now, for the past 11 years, Craig has served Burke, Rutherford, and McDowell counties as a highly skilled Hearing Instrument Specialist. It is his greatest pleasure to apply his extensive skills and knowledge to the assessment, consultation, treatment and care of people with hearing loss. Craig serves his specialty as the current Vice President of the North Carolina Association of Hearing Care Professionals and previously served two years as the Secretary of that organization.
Craig and his wife, Jeanne love spending time with friends at various local music venues and local vineyards where they enjoy the full experience of the excellent wines produced here in their beloved foothills of North Carolina. They live in the middle of twelve acres set between Valdese and Morganton where they enjoy entertaining friends, family, and the loving, exasperation of three springer spaniels.
We're here to serve you!

“I have been enjoying the service at Mountain Ear for a few years. Very friendly and helpful. I just received a new set of hearing aids. Very helpful helping me to adjust to them. I would strongly recommend them in your needs. ”
“When you are very, very, very old, time goes by very fast, so my memory may not be too accurate. But with a borrowed hearing aid in hand, I met our Mr. Craig. From that moment, he gently brought me to the stage I am at now, there is no, "what did you say" to the fact that I can hear the cat meow, I thought it was mute. His practice is everything all of you have said it is, and much more. He is caring, professional, trusting, and all of the adjectives praising this man for his regard for his patients and practice is true. Bless you M'dear. ”
“They made my visit very easy, they were very professional ,I didn't realize I needed hearing aids till I was tested I didn't realize what I had been missing, the Dr. made me feel at ease during the whole process, I would refer this office to everyone, thank you Mountain Ear”
“The whole experience was great. The hearing aides are doing well, the staff were professional, the information I received was complete. I had no questions for Craig, it was all laid out in straight forward language I could understand. He covered everything. In short I can hear again, and I have Mountain Ear to thank for that.”
“Very professional and helpful. Thank you for helping me with my hearing problems!”
