Originally from Moline, Illinois, Dr. Kelly became interested in audiology while completing her undergraduate degree in speech and hearing sciences. Her special expertise is in assessing hearing loss and advanced hearing aid technology. She enjoys interacting with patients, building long-term relationships with them.
“What I like about audiology is the opportunity to work with people to improve their lives through better communication while getting to know them one-on-one,” Dr. Kelly said. “What I love about Associated Audiologists is that they always put best practice first,” she added. “Every patient leaves the clinic having received the best service possible.”
“I felt that Dr. Kelly was very knowledgeable with the technology, the alternatives and how to make the changes. Hoping to see positive changes.”

“Dr. Steele used his science to pinpoint my exact hearing loss. He was so empathetic, so thorough. He treats each person as an individual. Your situation is different from mine, but he can help us both.”
