Jesse Combs – Au.D., CCC-A
Diagnostic Audiologist
Jesse grew up in Bristol, Tennessee and attended the University of Tennessee for her undergraduate and graduate degrees.
As a diagnostic audiologist, she performs comprehensive audiometric evaluations, including otoscopy, tympanometry, acoustic reflex testing, and air and bone conduction. She also performs diagnostic vestibular evaluations.
Jesse loves the team environment at Physicians Hearing Care between the staff and how this translates into providing the patients she treats with the best possible care.
A moment of personal success for Jesse was when she was able to assist a patient who had recently lost her hearing aid and was devastated and worried about how much it would cost to replace it. Jesse offered support from PHC and found that the hearing aid was still under warranty. The patient received a new device, and subsequently, any worry about the cost that she had was resolved. The patient walked away happy, and Jesse was glad that she could help.
Outside of the clinic, Jesse enjoys spending time with her family and friends, reading, going for walks, spending time at the lake, and cooking.
