HearingLife

Laura came into the hearing health industry in 2016 while taking American Sign Language courses at her local community college. Her professor of Deaf culture recommended that she look into it and thought she'd be a great fit. Soon after, Laura was working for HearingLife as a trainee under the supervision of Sharon Stoor, BC-HIS, ACA. Under Sharon's guidance Laura went on to pass her NJ State Board Exam and became a licensed Hearing  Instrument Specialist.

Laura works for HearingLife's mobile clinic that services patients that cannot get to a clinic for treatment such as nursing facility and assisted living residents all over South Jersey. Having been born with hearing loss herself, Laura tries to always bring not just empathy, but also fellowship to her patients.
