OUR STORY
Audiology Services of West Virginia is a comprehensive hearing and balance healthcare clinic specializing in medically oriented diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance dizzy orders. We have a team of audiologists who are equally qualified to give their patients the most comprehensive hearing and balance healthcare. Our Doctors of Audiology have experience in all specialty areas of audiology and have all completed their doctoral training in major medical centers.
Our owners, Drs. Carlee and Michael Squires, met while completing their undergraduate work at WVU in 2006 and have been married since 2014. 2014 is also the year they purchased Audiology Services, an audiology practice that had been in existence for 37 years. They changed the name to Audiology Services of West Virginia and now have two physical locations and serve many school contracts around the state. From completing their graduate work at the Cleveland Clinic, the Drs. Squires’ mission with Audiology Services of West Virginia was to bring better and more extensive audiological care to the mid-Ohio-valley. Their primary goal has always been to provide education and audiology awareness to the community. The Drs. Squires reside in Mineral Wells with their three children and their many pets!
As a team, we are committed to providing the most compassionate and complete hearing healthcare in the Mid-Ohio Valley!
