Who We Are
At Hearing Aid House Calls, we understand that hearing loss isn’t just about the ears—it’s about feeling connected, understood, and cared for. Founded by Bethany Gonyea, MS, our practice brings compassionate, high-tech hearing solutions directly to your home in Pickens County and surrounding areas.
Bethany combines her love for sound with her passion for care. As a biofeedback practitioner and researcher at the Monroe Institute, she studies the effect of sound on the brain and is fascinated by its ability to soothe and reduce anxiety. She brings this knowledge into her audiology practice, helping patients relax and feel at ease during their care.
“Nothing can soothe our state of consciousness as quickly as sound.” – Bethany Gonyea
Meet Our Hearing Professionals
Bethany Gonyea
Owner
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.
