Nataly Bohannon, HIS

Hearing Instrument Specialist

I am honored to be of service to the greater McMinn County and its surrounding communities. I have been working in the hearing industry since 2005. What I enjoy the most about my work is utilizing technology as a tool to bridge communication for the hearing-impaired person and their loved ones. This is more than a job; it’s a way of making a difference in someone’s life. I feel very fortunate to be in the position of taking on a difficult communication situation and turning it into a more manageable one for those who seek help.

I live in a rural area in Athens, TN. My leisure time is spent at home or exploring the beautiful TN views and landscapes. I enjoy family and friends getting together for good southern home cooking meals, activities with my church family, and hanging out with my husband and our 3 dogs.

Hearing empowers us and helps us lead our everyday lives without limitations. It enables us to socialize, work and communicate. It is our connection to life.

Kathy and Rachel are great! Very professional and friendly. And I could not be happier with my new hearing aids. They are much better that the OTC aids I bought earlier this year!
