John Massey, Au.D./CCC-A
Following the completion of his Doctoral Externship, Dr. John Massey came to the Silverstein Institute in 2019. He is proficient in providing a wide array of services including diagnostic hearing testing, vestibular evaluations, electrophysiology, hearing aid evaluations and tinnitus evaluations and treatment.
Dr. Massey received a scholarship to perform research in the field of psychoacoustics and speech perception during an apprenticeship at the Boystown National Research Hospital. With a background as a professional audio engineer and producer, he brings a unique knowledge of acoustics and signal processing to the practice.
“When I decided to start this clinic, I wanted to use my sound engineering background to design a fitting and programming model that exceeds the status quo of reading words out loud in a sterile medical office. Part of the beauty of this clinic is the accuracy we achieve in our fitting and programming methods by performing said testing and programming in acoustically proofed spaces.”
Dr. Massey is passionate about bringing his unique set of skills to the world of audiology in order to achieve the best outcomes for his patients. His goal is for his patients to hear their best and improve the quality of their lives.
