It is a privilege for families to entrust me to help guide them through their journey, whether it be managing hearing loss or undergoing routine hearing assessments,” she remarked.
It is noteworthy that pediatric audiology is a rapidly evolving field, recognizing the critical importance of early diagnosis and intervention in children’s developmental milestones. Dr. Reagan’s involvement in this area promises to bring fresh insight and renewed vigor to the community in addressing the hearing health needs of younger populations.
