Complimentary to her diverse clinical/professional experience, Dr. Ball received her undergraduate education at the State University of New York at Binghamton where she received her bachelor’s degree in Spanish Language and Literature/Linguistics, graduating cum laude. Dr. Ball further honed her multilingual skills while studying in the international student’s program at the University of Costa Rica.

After receiving her Doctorate in Audiology, she spent several years working in one of the country’s largest Ear, Nose, Throat and Audiology practices where she was exposed to innovative diagnostic and treatment methods for managing hearing, tinnitus, hyperacusis and vestibular (balance/dizziness) patients.  She believes that learning is a lifelong process and refers to current research to provide patient care driven by evidence-based outcomes. She is committed to following best practices, including verification and validation measurements to ensure the most optimal fitting for each patient.Dr. Ball resides in Williamsville with her husband, twin sons and daughter.
