Darcy Benson, Au.D., Doctor of Audiology

"People are often reluctant to get their first hearing device. But the differences that I see in my patients are amazing. Giving them back the ability to hear can bring a person back into the world around them. It makes it a pleasure to come to work every day."

More than just a degree

"Education means more to me than just having a degree or license. It means I've worked to develop an ability to solve problems, to ask the right questions in any situation, and to analyze the results. You won't get a diploma for those skills, but they're critical."

Sharing information with the best

"One of the ways I keep in touch with what is happening in the world of audiology is through memberships in professional organizations. These groups give me the opportunity to share and discuss new ideas with colleagues and find out what's working and what isn't. It's all information that I am able to incorporate into my own practice to serve you better."

Helping to further her profession

"My profession is constantly changing, like any profession that deals with technology. I am honored to be able to contribute to the advances in hearing health care through new product studies, publications, and presentations."
