PACS Pals: Amanda
Hearing My Way My mild/moderate bilateral sensorineural hearing loss was discovered during my first routine hearing check in school. Little did I know that being called down to the nurse’s office in kindergarten would lead me to a future career in audiology!

PACS: Meet Cathryn!
My Dream Career When I was six, I was diagnosed with a profound sensorineural hearing loss in my right ear—or single-sided deafness.

After I received my Baha, I began to think au

E M I L Y My Dream Career I want to be a pediatric audiologist to help families through the process of hearing loss diagnosis, amplification, and education.

PACS: Meet Kyle
Meet Kyle! My Dream Career Growing up, sports was a way of life for me, so my dream was to become a professional baseball player. However, as I got older, I realized a better fit was education, which would make use of my patience & passion for working with kids. I became a second grade teacher, but inspired by my older brother who has hearing loss, I am now earning my Master’s in Deaf Education. One of the best parts is my wife is in the same program pursuing her Doctorate in
