HEAR for You Every Step of the Way

- Joshua Bowyer, Au.D.

Owner and audiologis­t, Oberlin Hearing Care

Reaching goals is a whole lot easier when someone’s in your corner. And when it comes to reclaiming your hearing — one of the most critical senses — it’s especially important to have the support of a dedicated expert every step of the way.

That’s where I come in. As a doctor of audiology, I’m committed to helping patients be successful with their hearing care. Better hearing enhances communicat­ion but also goes hand in hand with better brain health, improved relationsh­ips, reduced risk of falls, greater self-image, and more.

Many people don’t realize just how common hearing loss is, with about one out of five people 12 and older impacted in the U.S. alone, per research estimates, and 1.5 billion children and adults affected on a global scale. Yet only a fraction of those who could be helped actually are.

That just won’t do in my book.

Almost all hearing loss can be successful­ly managed with today’s advanced hearing technology, so a big part of my mission includes building awareness and connecting people with solutions personaliz­ed to their better-hearing needs.

It’s that passion that helped drive my decision to become a doctor of audiology. I wanted to be confident that I was attaining the highest possible medically based training and experience before helping patients in the field.

My training as both a doctor of audiology and a gerontolog­ist allows me to understand the underlying biological functions specific to hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance disorders as well as the physical and social changes that happen with the aging process. Combined knowledge that helps me help you succeed!
