Hearing Health Center - Park Ridge

Dr. Ronna Fisher is the founder and owner of Hearing Health Center. She established the center in 1984 in honor of her father who suffered from hearing loss. In 2005, Dr. Fisher founded the Fisher Foundation for Hearing Health Care which is a not for profit organization. She earned her doctorate degree in audiology from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry and holds a certificate of clinical competence in audiology from the American Speech Language Hearing Association.  Dr. Fisher is a member of several audiology associations including the American Academy of Audiology and the Academy of Dispensing Audiologists. 

Originally from Pennsylvania, Dr. Stephanie Throne is a dedicated audiologist with a passion for helping individuals improve their communication and quality of life through better hearing. She earned her Doctorate in Audiology from Andrews University, where she found her calling in the medical field—though it wasn’t the traditional route she had imagined. Initially drawn to healthcare, Stephanie quickly realized that her strengths lie in audiology, not in dealing with blood or broken bones.

Stephanie is especially committed to educating patients about hearing loss, a condition that often goes unnoticed until it reaches an advanced stage. She takes great pride in helping people recognize the signs of hearing impairment early on, empowering them with the tools and knowledge to make informed decisions about their hearing health.

Her favorite part of being an audiologist is the opportunity to enhance communication for her patients, improving both their social connections and overall well-being. Stephanie is a strong advocate for Oticon hearing aids, particularly appreciating their advanced noise suppression technology that helps users hear more clearly, even in challenging environments with background noise.
