About Us

Kristi DumontKristi Dumont MS, CCC-A, Owner/Clinical Audiologist

I have been a practicing audiologist since 1997. I earned my Master’s Degree in Audiology from Ithaca College and, prior to that, my Bachelor’s of Science in Hearing and Speech Science from S.U.N.Y. Plattsburgh.  I am currently enrolled in a distance learning program with A.T. Still University (Arizona School of Health Sciences) to obtain my Doctorate degree in Audiology.  I pursued a degree in Audiology because of my love of science/medicine and the ability to make a real difference in people’s quality of life.  Helping people hear and communicate better and actually witnessing the change in their demeanor is extremely rewarding.

I opened Northwest Hearing Services in August 2003.  Prior to opening private practice I worked for 2 different hospitals (Copley Hospital in Morrisville VT and Albany Medical Center in Albany NY), a clinic in South Florida and another private practice in Northern NY.  In these varied work environments I have had the ability to perform numerous diagnostic tests (including vestibular function testing) and have worked with all ages (including being a part of a specialized pediatric team).  Fitting hearing aids and correcting patient’s hearing loss is my passion though and that’s what drove me to open my own practice specializing in dispensing.

I am licensed by the state of Vermont Department of Education as a dispensing Audiologist.  I am also certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and maintain a fellowship with the American Academy of Audiology. I was also recently approved for membership to the National Association of Professional Women.

I grew up in Northern NY but have been calling VT home for 10 plus years.  I reside in Saint Albans with my husband and 3 children who keep me very busy!  When not in the office you will find me in our local school, on the soccer or baseball fields or on the ski hill!

I look forward to working with you!
