Dr. Harris has been in the field of Audiology/Hearing Science for over 30 years. She has been affiliated with the University of Arizona for a good portion of this time on the instructional, research and clinical faculties.

“Hearing Rehabilitation is comprehensive and typically involves more than a simple solution through one means, such as amplification with a hearing aid, cochlear implant or assistive device. The effects of hearing loss extend beyond the person who has it to include family members and associates. Our goal is to maximize communication while minimizing the effects of hearing loss using a multifaceted approach.”
