Meet Our Team

Dr. Swander began working at Hearing HealthCare Centers while it was still under the ownership of Jim Boggess in May of 2000. She purchased the Boulder and Longmont locations in 2008, and the company has grown to eight Front Range locations since then.

Over the nearly 20 years that she has been helping people to hear better, she has become even more passionate about the role that hearing technology can play in restoring people’s ability to feel fully engaged in social situations, without having to worry about missing out. As technology has improved over the years, her patients have been able to achieve higher and higher levels of success and satisfaction with hearing aids. She loves watching people take back their life when they take charge of their hearing. Part of her vision is to not only to help people hear better, but to help them live better. She hopes for anyone coming in for an appointment to feel a sense of belonging as they enter the clinic and to know they will be in great hands.

Along with helping people hear better on a local level, Dr. Swander has also traveled to Africa multiple times to fit people with hearing aids through the Starkey Hearing Foundation. When Dr. Swander is not helping patients or running the practice, you can find her gardening, cooking and spending time with husband, Jeff, and two rescued beagles, Maddie and Marley.

Additionally, her years of experience in the field have given Dr. Hart a deep understanding of the challenges faced in our busy worlds, that each individual is unique and requires individualized attention.

Dr. Hart is focused on providing exceptional care so that you can benefit from better hearing, tinnitus management, or whatever your audiological needs may be. She has worked in the public schools, ENT clinics, private practice, and spent 13 years using her talents on our nation’s heroes at the Veterans Administration. These settings have given her a wide variety of expertise.

Dr. Hart has experience in tinnitus management, hearing conservation, balance therapy, the full gamut of audiological testing, aural rehabilitation, and amplification. Whatever your audiological needs may be Dr. Hart has the knowledge and the expertise to help.

When she is not at work Dr. Hart can be found hiking in our mountains, enjoying adventures with her family, and volunteering with different veteran, law enforcement, disaster relief, and homeless organizations.

She underwent her first cochlear implant surgery in 2007 while a senior in high school. It was so successful that she underwent a second surgery 6 years later to implant the other ear. Her experience with hearing loss and with the audiologist who had helped her for so many years encouraged her to pursue a career in audiology.

Dr. Karl’s motivation for treating hearing loss comes from seeing his patients reconnect with their friends and family and stop isolating themselves from those they love due to their hearing loss.
