Corvallis Hearing Center

Upon completion of his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at one of the nation’s top-rated Audiology programs at University of Arizona, Ron Leavitt, Au. D., began publishing scientific articles and text books on hearing aids, ear mold acoustics, noise induced hearing loss, hearing science and assistive listening technology. He received his doctorate in Audiology from Arizona School of Health Sciences. All audiology faculty members at Dr. Leavitt’s alma mater, the University of Arizona, had academic, research and clinical assignments. This trio of assignments was designed to assure all research was clinically relevant. Dr. Leavitt has served as a consultant to the U.S. Forest Service, American Bar Association and Hearing Loss Association of America. He also served on the Grant Review Committee for the Tinnitus Research Program at Oregon Health Science University. He has presented at conferences and seminars internationally on hearing-loss related issues. Dr. Leavitt spent 8 years as audiologist at Good Samaritan Hospital in Corvallis and 10 years as Director of the Audiology Clinic and as senior instructor in Audiology and American Sign Language in the Department of Audiology and Speech Communication at Oregon State University before going into private practice. Dr. Leavitt has maintained this commitment to clinical work and research. He insists that all hearing aids recommended in our clinic meet the rigorous standards of unbiased product testers. All hearing aid fitting and evaluation procedures must be free of manufacturer bias. We use the best, most advanced scientific methods and technology.
