About Your Audiologist

Dr. Kalmbach received her Doctorate Degree in Audiology from Pennsylvania College of Optometry’s School of Audiology in 2007. She received her Master of Science Degree in Audiology from Colorado State University in 1987. She completed her training at Letterman Army Medical Center in San Francisco, CA and at Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas.

While working in a hospital environment she was involved in Newborn hearing screenings, diagnostic testing and evaluation of those suffering from hearing loss, as well as performing a wide variety of Vestibular tests used in the diagnosis and treatment of balance problems.

After a lot of prayer and believing very passionately that patient’s can be helped with their hearing loss, tinnitus and Misophonia, she chose to venture out into a privately owned audiology practice. She is the owner of Colorado Tinnitus and Hearing Center which was established in 2005. She is passionate when working with her patient’s and is especially fond of working with the geriatric population. She is committed to exceptional customer service and is driven by the idea that life can be better for those who are suffering with hearing loss, tinnitus or misophonia.

What is an Excellence In Audiology Certification?

In order to become certified by Excellence in Audiology, a provider is rigorously tested by a highly respected panel of examiners to demonstrate their auditory and cognitive knowledge, clinical skills, and judgment. Those who achieve certification have taken a major step beyond the two to three years of advanced education required to be a hearing health care specialist.
