"My care philosophy centers on empowering patients to take an active role in their hearing healthcare. I see myself as a partner in care, providing diagnosis, education and guidance on hearing and balance disorders while helping patients choose the best rehabilitation and communication options for their needs," said Dr. Gohmert. "My passion for audiology stems from my own experience. Born with congenital ear disease, I struggled with hearing loss throughout childhood and was treated by many otologists and audiologists. Those experiences inspired me to pursue audiology and my personal journey continues to shape the compassionate provider I am today. With more than 33 years of experience, I have cared for patients across the lifespan and practiced in every area of audiology including cochlear implant management, hearing aid dispensing, bone anchored devices, pediatric care, newborn hearing screening, intraoperative monitoring and diagnostics. My greatest interests are diagnostic audiology, pediatric audiology, electrophysiology for infants and hard-to-test patients and vestibular assessment and management."
