Jacqueline Dannreuther
Jacquie Dannreuther hails from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and after attending LSU and living in Baton Rouge for nearly 15 years, she is a huge Tiger and Saints fan. After earning a Bachelors in Communication Sciences and Disorders (2001) and her Masters in Audiology (2003), Jacquie practiced for 5 years as Ascension Parish Public School’s Audiologist. Her family moved to Gulf Breeze, FL in 2008 for her husband to join her family’s retail business, Lee Tracy, as well as open Intracoastal Outfitters. Shortly after relocating, she found a professional home at Hearing Life on the campus of Sacred Heart Hospital with her mentor Carol Whitcomb Powell, Ph.D. Audiologist. In 2012, she became Dr. Dannreuther, graduating from A.T. Still University with her Au.D. Jacquie is married to Wes Dannreuther, and they have three boys: Elliot, Will, and Ben (recently adding a four-legged female German Sheppard, Rhya, to the mix). Jacquie’s hobbies include cheering on her boys at various sporting events, boating, and finding unique items that can be upcycled. Dr. Dannreuther is very passionate about helping her patients stay connected to the world around them. She strives daily to improve her patients' ability to communicate using the most advanced technology combined with excellent service and care.
