Laurie DeWine, Doctor of Audiology

Laurie earned her Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree at A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Health Sciences in 2008. Until recently, audiology has been a master's degree profession, and Laurie completed her master's at 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, Indiana 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 with whom she works.
