Staff
Rachel Carl,
AuD
Audiologist
Rachel’s interest in hearing & communication began from watching her Grandfather and younger brother struggle with hearing and wanting better for them. Those experiences inspired her to complete both her Bachelors of Science and Doctor of Audiology degrees at Ball State University in Indiana. Her love of the outdoors brought her out west to California. After a decade in larger and corporate offices, she is excited to join Your Hearing Connection and work for and alongside another audiologist. Being a part of a local, independent, patient-oriented practice ensures that she can truly focus on every patient’s specific needs.
“Having access to the very best technology isn’t what really helps loved ones reconnect. It’s actually listening to and understanding each person’s needs and appropriately applying that technology.”

“I received a mail out offering a free exam, and although I hesitated, I knew my ears needed checking! I am soooo thankful I went to see Dr Jonathan Kalama at 5500 Ming in Bakersfield (Your Hearing Connection). The entire experience was positive, easy, professional and I would recommend this Audiologist to anyone and everyone! He is extremely professional but also very kind and takes his time to explain the entire process and the results. No pressure or sales pitch! Amazing experience. Also, last but not least, his staff were sweet, efficient and did an exemplary job! ”
“What an amazing experience!!!! Top-notch information and positive reinforcement, my outlook at hearing again is now excellent! I found Dr. Kalama to be both professional and friendly, as well as, extremely knowledgeable. I'm utterly impressed by the care I received and look forward to years of patronage. ”
“Jonathan & his intern Kelsey were very kind to me. I had concerns from my previous experience with hearing aids. I really appreciate that they truly listened to me & set me at ease. I am very happy that my insurance placed me with Jonathan.”
