On October 30, 2026 we will be passing the torch, the responsibility and the great joy, of caring for our patients. Two of our current outstanding team members, Audiologists, Cathy Buchele and Emily Nairn will be the new owners of the practice. They have been a critical part of this team for years and many of you have had the pleasure of working with them both.

They are committed to honoring what has always been at the heart of O’Connor Hearing Center: providing thoughtful, professional audiological care and taking the time to truly know our patients and address your individual needs. You will continue to receive the very highest level of better hearing care.

THANK YOU! It is hard to believe that O’Connor Hearing Center opened its doors 19 years ago! Over the years Claudia and I have been truly blessed to have the opportunity to work with so many wonderful patients and families in our community. It has been our privilege to be part of your lives to help you hear better and to stay connected to the people that matter most to you.

As we retire, we leave you in good hands. Emily Nairn and Cathy Buchele will provide you the very best in hearing care!
