Frank Talarico, clinical audiologist and owner, was introduced to the field of audiology in the summer of 2008 after observing an audiologist perform a hearing aid fitting on a disconnected elderly patient. Over the course of a few months, Frank observed this patient's quality of life drastically improve as he became more involved with his family and attended more social events. The level of hearing improvement following a visit to an audiologist was inspiring. After this life changing experience, Frank was motivated to learn more about the field of audiology. Frank graduated with an Honors Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from York University. Frank went on to study at Western University and graduated with a Clinical Master's of Science degree in Audiology. During his studies, Frank worked at an out-patient pediatric hospital unit at the Humber River Hospital assessing the hearing of young children and individuals with exeptionalities. After graduating, Frank worked as an audiologist in a hearing clinic providing care primarily to patients who lost their hearing from a noisy workplace. Frank also worked as an audiologist in an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor's office, providing hearing care to many complex audiological cases. These experiences have allowed Frank the satisfaction of providing audiology services to a wide array of patients from all walks of life.
At Hearing Beyond, Frank's patients benefit from his compassion and understanding towards the difficulties of living with hearing loss. Frank uses his highly skilled aptitude in audiology and hearing technology to help his patients hear the world that they have been missing. Frank incorporates a multi-faceted approach to healthy hearing, which includes professionally fitting hearing devices, motivating and empathetic counseling, effective communication strategy courses, and helpful hearing workshops.
