Our Story
Dr. Jennifer always knew she wanted to help people, but she wasn't sure of the exact path so she did some volunteer work at Vanderbilt one summer when she was home from college. She was placed in a speech therapy group for hearing impaired kiddos where all of the three and four-year-olds in the group wore either hearing aids or cochlear implants. Her heart melted as she found her calling- to help people hear! After completing her doctorate in audiology (Au.D.) at UT- Knoxville, she moved back to middle TN to work in an otolaryngology office. It was there that her passion to open her own audiology practice grew. She realized that hearing-aid-patient care suffered within the fast-paced ENT office. There was not enough time allowed to adequately counsel patients in order to help them succeed with their hearing aids.
After taking some business classes through the SBA, working with SCORE advisers on her business plan, many prayers and tears; she miraculously obtained a business loan in 2010 (in a down economy) and opened Elite Audiology and Hearing Care in 2011. Here, Dr. Jennifer is able to spend plenty of time with each patient she sees- answering all of their questions to ensure their absolute delight with their hearing aids. She loves their stories of how lives (& relationships) are improved and enhanced by better hearing. Call her today to see how better hearing can improve your life! 615-758-7118
