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 enjoyed my visit and testing at your office in Bakersfield on 10/10/23. Everyone was kind, friendly and knowledgeable of their work. I look forward to another visit. They did several test while checking my ears and Rachel explained everything that was done. The complete testing was done in about 30 minutes. ”
“Having my hearing evaluation was a very smooth process and they were very caring and understandable with my inability to hear everything at normal levels. Their staff is very courteous and respectful at all times. The audiologist is very knowledgeable and made sure that I understood every step in the process and put me at ease during the evaluation. ”
“The staff was very friendly, and really efficient. I was in and out in a very short time, but didn’t feel rushed at all. I would recommend them to anyone needing hearing testing or care. ”
“They're friendly staffs and easy going communication thank you ”
“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! ”
