Meet Our Founders
Pacific Audiology Group was founded by an audiologist and a hearing instrument specialist who wanted to offer something new to hearing care professionals. Both Kris and Amy have operated their own private practices, and they understand the ins and outs of buying, growing, and selling hearing care practices and the challenges encountered at every step. Their combined experiences drove them to want to do more for hearing care professionals, and so Pacific Audiology Group was born.
Kris Hewitt
Registered Hearing Instrument Practitioner, Certified in Cerumen Management (CSHBC)
Co-Founder & Director of Sales and Marketing
Kris has diverse experience within wholesale, training, clinic retail, as well as private practice ownership. Prior to co-founding Pacific Audiology Group, Kris worked with Siemens Hearing Instruments before becoming the business development manager for Demant (Oticon) for several years. Kris later purchased his own private practice, completed a renovation, re-brand, and upgrade to a digital and paperless database, and operated it prior to selling in 2019. Kris is a natural teacher, and he brings a unique perspective to the business side of hearing healthcare and understands what it takes to be successful in private practice.

Registered Audiologist, Registered Hearing Instrument Practitioner, Certified in Cerumen Management (CSHBC)
