About

In the early stages of Deb’s career, she worked for several years in the office world until she decided to make a life change. She was seeking a rewarding career where she could dedicate her time to helping others. She went back to school at Bates Technical College to become a hearing healthcare professional and graduated with an associate’s degree. She has been in the hearing healthcare profession for over 20 years now. She is very dedicated to helping her patients and making a meaningful difference in their lives.

Deb entered this profession because she loves helping people and seeing the look on their faces when they hear things they haven’t heard in a long time. She understands the day-to-day struggles a person with hearing loss can experience, as she grew up with her grandfather who was hard of hearing. He served as an inspiration to Deb to help those with hearing loss, and instilled her great compassion for patients and their families. She strives to help give them back the quality of life they long for. She feels truly rewarded when a patient says, “Thank you for giving me back my life/spouse back,” often accompanied by happy tears and sometimes followed by BIG hugs!
