WHO WE ARE

Laurie DeWine, Doctor of Audiology

Laurie graduated in 2008 with her Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree from A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Health Sciences. Audiology has traditionally been a master’s degree profession, which Laurie completed from Ohio State University in 1979. Recent certification changes have been made which require all new graduates to complete an Au.D. program. Laurie was able to continue to practice audiology with her prior certification but felt it was important to obtain additional knowledge about her ever-changing field. Laurie is certified by the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA), is a fellow of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), and holds licensure in the states of Ohio and Kentucky. She has a genuine interest in the work she does as an audiologist and is committed to her profession. She is honest and caring, and strives to improve the communication abilities of all patients she works with.
