Meet Bethany Gonyea
Bethany Gonyea received her Master of Science in Audiology from Syracuse University in 1993. She has now brought her passion for personalized hearing care directly into patients’ homes with her new practice, Hearing Aid House Calls, serving Pickens County, South Carolina, and surrounding areas. Bethany is committed to making hearing care accessible, offering more than just standard hearing aid services. Her expertise includes advanced diagnostics such as Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR), ElectroCochleoGraphy (ECochG), and Videonystagmography (VNG), as well as OSHA-compliant hearing testing for workers in noisy environments.
Known for her dedication to hearing conservation, Bethany often encourages people—even strangers—to protect their ears in noisy settings. “You will need to retire with those ears someday,” she reminds them.
In addition to her work in audiology, Bethany is a practicing biofeedback self-regulation practitioner, where she helps patients reduce the anxiety caused by hearing loss. She finds joy in seeing the relief on her patients’ faces after fitting them with the right hearing amplification. “Hearing aids are the best couples therapy,” she often quips, recognizing how much untreated hearing loss can strain relationships.
Bethany is also involved in biometric research and serves as a Mind Mirror EEG Monitor at the Monroe Institute, studying how sound affects brain states and emotional well-being. Her fascination with sound’s ability to soothe the nervous system fuels her work, both in audiology and her personal research.
After taking a break from audiology to pursue a non-profit focused on peace meditation research, Bethany returned to the field excited by the advancements in hearing aid technology. Today, she remains committed to keeping her patients up to date with the latest technology, providing ongoing testing and support to ensure their hearing aids continue to meet their changing needs.
