About your audiologist... Terry P. Russell, MA

The importance of education

"To give you the best possible care requires many years of study, research and experience. Even though I've had an extensive formal education, my learning never ends. I continue to take many hours of advanced, professional courses each year, always looking for ways to improve your quality of life. Plus, my dual licensure ensures that your hearing is in qualified caring hands"

• Licensed: Hearing Aid Dispenser, State of California
• Licensed: Audiology, State of California
• MA: Audiology and Speech Pathology, San Jose State University, San Jose CA
• BA: Speech Pathology, San Jose State University, San Jose, CA
• Continuing Education: Completes the required hours for audiology license and dispensing license renewal

An ongoing quest for knowledge

"One of the greatest advantages of belonging to professional groups is that I can meet with my colleagues to share ideas about ways to provide better hearing care, or to learn about new techniques. If I relied solely on my formal education, I might be unaware of a breakthrough technology or new procedure that could benefit you."

Member: American Academy of Audiology, Academy of Dispensing Audiologists

For the love of the community

"Physician's Hearing Aid Center is very important to me, but equally important is the community in which I live and work. I enjoy the opportunity to give something back to the local people. Not only is it a great way to improve the quality of life for community members, it's also a chance to meet some truly exceptional people."

Community Involvement: Guest speaker to various senior groups on geriatric audiology topics such as Alzheimer's and assistive listening devices.
