Alicia Gonzalez, AuD

I specialize in pediatric audiology, providing behavioral audiologic evaluations and comprehensive hearing device services, including hearing aids, bone conduction devices and cochlear implants. My approach is rooted in family‑centered care—recognizing that every child and family has a unique journey. I value families as essential partners in the care team and strive to create a supportive space where they feel heard, informed and involved in treatment decisions.

During graduate school, I participated in an interdisciplinary leadership training grant, which strengthened my passion for collaborative, team‑based care. Hearing is just one part of a child’s overall well‑being, and working closely with other professionals ensures each child is supported holistically. As a cochlear implant audiologist, I am grateful to be part of a multidisciplinary team that carefully considers all facets of a child’s development throughout the implant process.

My interest in audiology is also personal. As a child, I required multiple sets of PE tubes and vividly remember the joy of playing the “listening game” with my audiologist. Those early experiences, paired with my desire to support others, inspired me to pursue pediatric audiology as a career.

I am honored to have received the Jerry Northern Scholarship in Pediatric Audiology (2021).

I live in Cincinnati with my family and our chocolate lab. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking and playing board games.
