Meet Dr. DeFord
Hannah K DeFord AuD CCC-A began her professional journey with an interest in speech-language pathology. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Northeastern State University before discovering the many ways audiology connects with everyday life.
As she learned more about audiology, Dr. DeFord became interested in how hearing affects communication and daily experiences. That interest led her to pursue her Doctor of Audiology from Wichita State University and begin her career in audiology.
Today, she enjoys working with patients from different backgrounds and learning what matters most to each person. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, she focuses on understanding individual hearing goals and finding practical strategies to support them.
