Joan Kamps, PSC
Patient Services Coordinator
I have a genetic hearing loss and the first hearing test I had was in 1st grade. Throughout life I have had my hearing tested and each time I was told there was nothing that could be done. When I was 45 years young, I completed an undergraduate degree in Psychology at MSU by sitting in the center of the front row in my classes so I could hear as best as I could. I was headed to graduate school in order to be a mental health therapist. My husband told me he didn’t know how I was ever going to be a counselor because I couldn’t hear him when he was standing six feet away. He told me to get an appointment and get my hearing tested AGAIN.
I went to the Hearing Aid Institute, where I now work, in 2005. After the provider tested my hearing, he said that he could help. As a result, I was able to listen to my patients for the next 14 years in counseling.
Now that I am an employee, it is important to create an atmosphere where the patient is the center of attention by listening closely to their thoughts and concerns. Addressing those concerns as quickly and positively as possible is vital.
In my off time I relax by spending time with my husband, gardening and caring for plants in our home as well as talking with our 3 kids and grandkids on the phone/video.
