About Us

Leading hearing care, with a personal touch.

As someone with over 30 years’ experience in audiology, Dr. Michelle Couture-Souvenir knows exactly how hearing loss affects people’s lives.

What begins as a minor issue can later produce serious consequences, affecting someone’s temperament, motivation, stress-level, and family time.

Today, she uses this holistic, people-centered approach to counsel patients along every step of their hearing journey.

A desire to help others

In 1993, Dr. Michelle completed a master’s degree in the field of audiology. It was during her studies that she discovered her passion for working with people, and especially children.

This led her to take up a position at Miami Children’s Hospital, where she spent 12 and a half years developing her skills and growing as a hearing specialist.

During this time, she acquired further qualifications, including her clinical doctorate in audiology and an MS in health services administration.

She also expanded into volunteer work. As a member of Rotary International – a global welfare charity – Dr. Michelle embarked on life-changing community service projects abroad.

Her next steps

Not one to stand still, Dr. Michelle then looked for a new challenge where she could apply her skills as a doctor of audiology and social organizer.

Entrepreneurship soon became the focus of her endeavors. In October 2005, she opened the doors to her first private practice, Hear 4 Kidz Inc, in Homestead, Florida.

Initially conceived as a premier pediatric audiology clinic, she later changed its name to Hear 4 U Audiology so she could accommodate patients from various generations.

Today, the company has extended its service to locations throughout Miami Dade and Monroe counties, FL, as well as internationally in the lovely country of Panama.

Putting service first

Over the years, Dr. Michelle witnessed how many audiology offices had become focused on technology. But in her view, this neglected the crucial value of expert service.

In response, she founded her self-titled clinic, Dr. Michelle, based in the Florida Keys. Here, she used her compassion and intellect to develop personalized solutions for each patient.

This centered on individual sessions, where she spent time unpacking a person’s hearing issue – how it affected their temperament, lifestyle choices, and overall contentment.

This forged close, long-term relationships with patients. Today, everyone who trusts Dr. Michelle with their hearing journey benefits from her comprehensive approach to treatment.

Progressing into the future

Health-care providers, audiology included, are scrambling to keep up with the demand for telehealth services as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic sweeps across the nation and world. Many are seeing unexpected benefits in the shift to connected health—and hoping the momentum continues after the emergency is over.

Similarly, audiologists are also looking for ways to reach their patients for regular check-ups, follow-up care, and other unexpected urgencies that need attention. The answer to current social distancing can be addressed by adopting tele-audiology. The concept of tele-audiology is not new. It has been applied by many agencies and practices in developing countries to help the unserved and underserved populations and to overcome the shortage of audiologists.

In addition, most people like to access things conveniently and contactless. Convenient & contactless access today includes ordering anything from fast food, groceries, prescriptions, books, any and all products for a variety of applications and websites.
