| Dr. Joy Prichett | |
| Dr. Joy Pritchett is a native of Enterprise, Alabama but has practiced Audiology in the Middle Georgia area since 1978. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in Speech Pathology and a Masters in Audiology while attending Auburn University. Her doctoral concentration at Central Michigan/Vanderbilt was in the assessment of balance disorders and rehabilitation of hearing loss. Dr. Pritchett
was an early advocate for mandatory hearing tests for infants and
has provided regional Children’s Hearing Clinics for the past
25 years. Her primary clinical interests are: (1) the |
 |
| implementation of evidence-based protocols for the fitting and dispensing of hearing aids, (2) vestibular assessment and rehabilitation of balance disorders, and (3) the use of assistive technologies (i.e., Blue tooth, infrared, FM) to enhance user satisfaction from hearing aids. Dr. Pritchett is a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology, certified by the American Speech, Hearing and Language Association, member of the American Academy of Dispensing Audiologists, and a licensed Audiologist in the State of Georgia. Dr. Pritchett serves as a committee member for her national association, the Academy of Audiology, and participates in a regional Hearing Aid Performance Network. She provides hearing services in both the Greensboro and Milledgeville locations. When not seeing
patients, Dr. Pritchett is the mother of three children (22 year
old daughter, 17 and 16 year old sons) and a wife of 26 years to
husband Ed, who is an electrical engineer in the biosecurity and
containment industry. |

| I have been the office receptionist in the Milledgeville office for over three years. My first perception of Hearing Associates was the consideration, patience, and individualized attention each patient received to reach their potential. Since my son has a severe hearing loss and wears hearing aids, I was familiar with other service providers. Patients comment frequently regarding the level of commitment from the Audiologists. My son received his current set of hearing aids from Hearing Associates
which opened up a whole new world and he is now |
 |
|
pursuing personal interests that would not have been possible. I look forward to assisting your hearing healthcare needs in the Milledgeville office, 478-452-0578. |

| My hearing loss
was diagnosed while I was in college. My hearing loss is caused by
a genetic trait that has a strong expression in my mother’s
family. After watching my mother slowly lose her hearing, I can empathize
with family members who have experienced loved ones who slowly separate
themselves from the things they previously enjoyed. At the time of
my mother’s death, she could no longer hear and understand speech. |
 |
I have worked for Dr. Pritchett for over 15 years. As a profoundly hearing impaired adult, my experience in the hearing healthcare industry is unique. My first set of hearing aids was obtained from another hearing provider and my results were discouraging as there was no clarity to speech, only amplified sounds. I became a patient to Dr. Pritchett in 1987 and ultimately received a cochlear implant for my left ear and an advanced digital for my right ear. Dr. Pritchett and Mrs. Elson have worked diligently to find the best possible rehabilitation for my hearing loss. I look forward
to assisting your hearing healthcare needs in the Greensboro location,
706-454-0578.
