🎤 MAHE Presenter Spotlight:
David Lisko, AuD
Key Account Manager | Phonak
David Lisko, AuD, brings a rare and memorable blend of clinical expertise, industry leadership, and life experience to the MAHE stage. He earned his Doctorate in Audiology from the Northeast Ohio Au.D. Consortium (NOAC) in Kent/Akron, Ohio, and began his career at the Cleveland Clinic, where he built a strong foundation in patient-centered care.
Since 2008, David has worked on the manufacturing side of the hearing healthcare industry and is currently a Key Account Manager with Phonak. Over the years, he has become a sought-after public speaker and sales trainer, presenting on regional, national, and international stages.
Before audiology, David lived a very different life—as a professional rock-and-roll musician, opening for legendary acts including Cheap Trick, the Ramones, and Collective Soul, and touring as a headlining artist. His deep love of music and sound ultimately led him to audiology, where his passion for helping others has only continued to grow. His band, The Infidels, has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and David is also a member of MENSA and the International Society of Philosophical Enquiry (ISPE).
