Dr. Joe Baker

Joe is an Army veteran who got his start in hearing healthcare helping soldiers avoid hearing loss from hazardous noise exposure. As you would imagine, this is a tall order in the military! He became a hearing aid specialist, working for an audiologist and ENT doctor after his military enlistment. While honing his clinical audiology skills there, he completed his education to become an audiologist at the University of Cincinnati.

Joe specializes in preventing and treating hearing loss, and has a growing expertise in tinnitus evaluation and treatment. As an audiologist who suffers from tinnitus, he is continually improving his expertise to better help others dealing with bothersome ringing and buzzing sounds.

Joe works with industries to manage their hearing conservation programs to prevent hearing loss for employees exposed to hazardous noise. Joe also teaches courses certifying occupational hearing conservation technicians for the Council on Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation (CAOHC).

When Joe isn’t working with patients or keeping up with office duties, you’ll find him doing DIY projects around the house. He loves to spoil his rescue dog, Kaya, with walks and treats or helping her look for the lost tennis ball. In cooler months, Joe is in the kitchen trying to improve his bread baking skills.
