Brent Caruthers

Finding myself with hearing loss and wearing hearing devices at the age of six, I feel like I have been in the hearing field my entire life. Today, as I have watched my career develop and my practice grow, I have found one of my greatest assets is my hearing loss. It helps me relate to my patients and understand the everyday frustration hearing loss has on an individual’s life and those of their loved ones. I often feel an immediate connection when listening to a patient talk about their issues with hearing loss.

When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my children and parents, exploring nature, being active in my community and playing basketball. All things I hope to see my patients enjoy without feeling isolated by hearing loss. We do this by fitting patients with the devices and services they need to give them their life back.
