Meet Our Staff:
Upon completion of his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at one of the nation's top-rated Audiology programs at University of Arizona, Ron Leavitt, Au.D., began publishing scientific articles and text books on hearing aids, earmold acoustics, noise induced hearing loss, hearing science and assistive listening technology. He recieved his doctorate in Audiology from Arizona School of Health Sciences. He has presented at conferences and seminars internationally on hearing-loss related issues.
Dr. Leavitt served as consultant to the U.S. Forest Service, American Bar Association and Hearing Loss Association of America. He served on the Grant Review Committee for the Tinnitus Research Program at Oregon Health Science University.
All audiology faculty members at Dr. Leavitt’s alma mater, the University of Arizona, had academic, research and clinical assignments. This trio of assignments was designed to assure all research was clinically relevant.
Dr. Leavitt has maintained this commitment to clinical work and research. He insists that all hearing aids recommended in our clinics meet the rigorous standards of unbiased product testers. All hearing aid fitting and evaluation procedures must be free of manufacturer bias. We always use the best, most advanced scientific methods and technology.
Colette Vossler, Audiology Assistant, is hearing impaired and has life-long experience dealing with the vocational, educational and social challenges posed. As an OSU student and Corvallis Hearing Center staff member, she continually strives to access the limits of today's technological opportunities for the hearing impaired community at large. Ms. Vossler is an advocate for our patients who need advanced, dependable hearing aid and assistive listening device technology. She plans to obtain a doctoral degree in Audiology. Natalie Vossler, Clinic Assistant and undergraduate at OSU, is planning a career in Communications or Speech Pathology. Having grown up with a sister with hearing impairment, she has a natural affinity for the needs of our patients at Corvallis Hearing Center. Natalie helps with a wide range of clinic activities from preparing and disinfecting exam rooms between patients to researching and ordering new technology for use in the clinic.
Nikki Clark, Audiology Assistant, has a personal interest in Hearing Science and Hearing Health as she has been a hearing aid wearer since childhood. Ms. Clark is ultimately pursuing a doctoral degree in Audiology, and is currently enrolled in undergraduate studies in Psychology. She is a valuable resource to our patients who are looking for first-hand information about hearing aid technology and strategies for successful adaptation to hearing aid use.

She is happy to answer questions, check insurance coverage, arrange appointments and make patients feel welcome and in good hands while in our office.
