Meet Kristen Barnett
What is your job title and how long have you been working in hearing healthcare?
I've worked in the hearing industry for over 5 years. The first two years I worked in the front office as a Patient Care Coordinator; the last 3 as a Hearing Instrument Specialist.
What do you love most about your job?
The thing I love most about helping people hear better is reconnecting people to their families, friends, and the things they love to do! I love to see the joy on their face when they can have a conversation with their loved one with ease.
What is your approach to providing great hearing healthcare?
I like to take an educational approach to hearing healthcare. I grew up in a family of teachers and I want my patients to be educated on why hearing health is so important to everyday life and how life-changing hearing aids can be for them and their family!
Tell us about your family.
I have a wonderful husband of 8 years who has been my biggest supporter in life and the sweetest, most curious 3 year old boy, Samuel.
What do you like to do for fun?
I love to cook or bake on the weekends. I really enjoy trying new recipes and letting my little boy help. I also love helping out at my church with singing, nursery, and Sunday School.
Tell us about one of your favorite things – what and why?
Fall is my favorite time of year. I love to see the leaves changing and feel the air getting chilly. It's always so much fun to go to a pumpkin patch or have a bonfire and spend time with my friends.
