Dr. Whitney Swander, Au.D., CCC-A, F-AAA
Doctor of Audiology

Dr. Swander went on to immediately earn her Master’s degree in Audiology in 2000.

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.
An Introduction to the Team
from Dr. Swander
As a young audiologist fresh out of graduate school in 2000, all I knew was that I wanted to help people hear better. I learned that treating patients with care while partnering with them and empowering them to take back their hearing was the way to do it. Over the years, Hearing HealthCare Centers grew as people caught on to the way we made them feel. Even other Hearing Care Professionals learned that we cared and asked us to adopt their practices as they retired. It didn’t take long to learn that I couldn’t care for all the people who needed our help across the entire Front Range of Colorado, but I was determined not to lose my vision for how to help people as we expanded. The audiologists and administrative team members below have each been thoughtfully and intentionally chosen for their role because of how they are able to carry forth our mission of partnering with people to treat their hearing loss and regain all the benefits that good hearing have to offer.
All of our Audiologists hold Doctorate degrees in Audiology and have many years of experience working with advanced evaluation techniques for hearing loss, understanding speech in the presence of background noise and tinnitus, as well as auditory rehabilitation and verification of medically based hearing aid fittings. Because hearing loss has been linked to so many cognitive functions, each of our Doctors of Audiology has been certified in MoCA, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which is a standardized screening tool for early detection of mild cognitive impairment. We know hearing care is health care and that is critically important to take your body and your brain into account when it comes to treating your hearing loss.
I’m very proud of my team and know that you will be well cared for from the moment you make contact with us and throughout your entire journey with us.
