Phonak Faces of Audiology

Our audiologists have stories. Lots of them.

Stories that illustrate their passion, their dedication, and their love for what they do. What drove them to the field of Audiology? How did they end up at Phonak? What do they cherish most about their work? Who are the people whom they are helping lead fuller lives?

We are proud of the expertise, the passion, the devotion, and the love that our audiologists have for what they do. So we asked our 16 Audiologists to describe what they do, and why they do it, in just six words. Their stories are incredible. 

The result? Our new Faces of Audiology campaign, which captures in words and video the pride and dedication these people bring to their work every day.

“I am finally making a difference in peoples’ lives. Every. Single. Day.”

When she was growing up, Ananya volunteered at a camp for kids with special needs. Seeing the difference between the kids with hearing loss who had hearing aids, versus those who were not wearing hearing aids opened her eyes to the power of hearing technology, and pushed her to be an Audiologist. 

Ananya’s bio

Ananya received her BSc (Hons) Audiology degree from the University of Leeds, England and worked as an adult audiologist in the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. She later went on to complete several pediatric masters modules at the University College London (UCL) before specializing in pediatric audiology and working at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) before moving to Switzerland to join Phonak as an Audiology Manager. Ananya now works closely with the Phonak eSolutions team.

“It’s those stories you never forget. It’s why I love what I do.”

When working in a clinic, Jennifer met a woman who lost her hearing in her 30s. She was lost. She couldn’t even have a conversation with her Mum via FaceTime. When Jennifer fit her with her first hearing aid, “Her whole face lit up,” she says. “She came alive.” It was those magical moments that brought her to Phonak so she could help shape the future of hearing aid technology.

Jennifer’s bio

Jennifer joined Phonak HQ in 2013. She previously worked clinically as an Audiological Scientist mainly in the UK and Switzerland, with both adults and pediatrics (in the areas of hearing aids and cochlear implants). She received her MSc in Audiology from the University of Manchester.
