Dan Stover, Au.D.
AUDIOLOGIST
Dan graduated with his Bachelor's degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He earned his clinical Doctorate in Audiology from the University of Texas at Austin. He has developed a fervor for audiology as a result of his own hearing loss and use of hearing aids. Because hearing aids have had such a profoundly positive effect on his quality of life, Dan considers fitting others with superior amplification to be an extremely fulfilling and rewarding opportunity. He is always looking for ways to learn and hone his craft so that he can help give his patients a better life through better hearing. In addition to providing hearing aid services, he administers a variety of neurodiagnostic tests (ABR, OAE, ECOG, VNG, ENOG). Aside from his aspirations to become the best audiologist he is able to be, Dan also loves food, travel, and staying active through sports and exercise.
