For James A. Wise, Ph.D., F.A.A.A., president of Associated Audiologists, Inc., the passion for practicing audiology is based in his natural curiosity about people. “I enjoy hearing my patients’ life stories; I have known some of them for 25 years. Swapping stories brings richness to my life. The added plus for me is that in almost every case, I can find a hearing solution that will enable my patients to truly improve their quality of life. What could be more rewarding than that?”

Dr. Wise founded Associated Audiologists after completing his doctorate and under his leadership, the practice has been at the forefront of hearing care in the Kansas City area for nearly 25 years.

He has served as president of the Kansas Speech-Language-Hearing Association and has been a member of many national committees through his affiliation with the American Academy of Audiology. On the local level, Dr. Wise has served on the boards of many organizations, including the Alliance on Aging. He is a member of the Olathe Noon Rotary Club and a two-time recipient of the Paul Harris Fellow Award.

His educational and professional associations include:

• Doctor of Philosophy in Audiology, University of Kansas
• Board Certified, American Board of Audiology
• Fellow, American Academy of Audiology
• Certified Member, American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
• Member, Kansas Speech-Language-Hearing Association
