Mountain Ear Hearing Associates - Black Mountain

Samantha Lackey is the oldest of three siblings and was born into a loving Christian family. Samantha’s father passed away when he was 50 years young of lung cancer. 16 years following her father’s death, Samantha’s “other father” came into her life. She graduated from high school in 1983 and was married at the age of 18. After marriage she continued onto college and graduated with a Surgical Technologist degree which led her to work in the operating room for 32 years. Samantha is married to the same great man of 35 years with their son, Bryan, his wife Brittany, and their daughter, Lindsay. When Samantha’s children were younger, she was very involved with their sports teams, coaching softball and basketball and was also involved with the Girl Scout troops for many years. Samantha was actively involved in the Iredell County Girl Scout Council and the Sharron Youth Athletic program. She is currently a member of the Broad Street Church of Christ and enjoys the outdoors, hiking, fishing, and working with stained glass art. While working in the operating room, Samantha was also in charge of ordering supplies for seven different surgical departments along with scrubbing in and assisting the surgeon during surgery. In 2008, Samantha lost hearing in her right ear and she has worn hearing aids ever since. She first was introduced to the Mountain Ear Associates practice in Conover as a patient when she needed help with her hearing loss and the rest is history. She started working part time to help with the front desk as a patient care coordinator and then worked to transition as a Provider. Samantha loves to help people, and this is why she has taken this path to help people live their lives in better hearing.
