Kelly Breese,
AuD, CCC-A, FAAA
Owner, Board Certified Audiologist
Dr. Breese is a Board-Certified Audiologist, fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), specializing in the treatment of tinnitus and hearing loss. Having personally experienced debilitating tinnitus, she deeply empathizes with the challenges her patients face.
I am passionate about staying at the forefront of advancements in audiology, continually researching the latest technologies and treatment options. Whether addressing hearing concerns, optimizing hearing aid fit and programming, providing aural (re)habilitation, or offering tinnitus treatments, I am dedicated to delivering comprehensive care tailored to each patient's unique needs.
As a classically trained percussionist, I appreciate the joy and connection that sound and music bring to our lives. I understand that every patient has distinct goals, and I take a personalized approach to hearing healthcare—educating, counseling, and designing treatment plans to help each individual achieve their goals.
The anchor symbol holds deep personal significance for me, which is why it is part of the identity of Hearing Aids of Sarasota. Just as my granddad was a steadfast anchor in my life, I strive to be a reliable anchor in my patients' hearing healthcare journey. I am committed to evidence-based, patient-centered care, guided by honesty and a focus on what works best for each person.
I frequently hear from patients frustrated by expensive hearing aids that end up being “thrown in the drawer.” I take pride in resolving these challenges, fine-tuning and programming devices to perform as they should, restoring both their functionality and my patients’ confidence in their hearing solutions.
I earned my Doctor of Audiology degree from the University of Arizona and received my Bachelor’s Degree, Cum Laude, in Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Music Performance from the University of Florida – Go Gators!
Since graduating, I have continued to further my education and be up-to-date with research by earning the following:
• Certificate holder in tinnitus management
• American Tinnitus Association Member
• Certified Animal Audiologist
• Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology

“Dr Kelly is wonderful. I am so thankful I found her. She is the only doctor I have gone to for my hearing problem that has made it so I can really hear with NO tinnitus My tinnitus was so bad that I could not hear with my old hearing aids. Now with her help I can hear the best I ever have and I have no tinnitus. If you have problems with tinnitus go see Dr Kelly you will be so happy. I have look for a doctor that helps with tinnitus for years. You will not believe how wonder it is to hear and have no tinnitus. Dr Kelly cares more than any hearing aid doctor I gone to Even if you just have tinnitus go to her. I can't thank you enough Dr Kelly I really can hear.”

“Dr. Muphy is an excellent doctor. She takes the time in a very relaxed manner to address all of my hearing needs. Dr. Murphy is very caring, capable, and efficient (among other excellent qualities). I was a patient of Dr. Murphy when she had a practice in Hillsborough County, however, I am now driving 40 miles in each direction to see Dr. Murphy. Believe me it is worth the drive. On a scale of 1-10 her rating is a 20”
