Don Knebel, HIS
Hearing Instrument Specialist
I have worked in the hearing aid industry since 1975 for four different manufacturers, performing most of the steps in both manufacturing and service. Many of the jobs I performed were hands-on with the products. In 2008 I joined NewSound Hearing Centers as a provider. I am passionate about providing the best hearing possible for each patient. I particularly enjoy working with difficult fittings and tinnitus patients. I service and program all brands of hearing aids but prefer the quality and durability of the Audibel line.
I enjoy doing landscaping and yard work, mainly using native plants. In our area it is a constant battle to keep ahead of the deer, and native plants are less appealing to deer. I also enjoy woodworking. I do a lot of my work on the scroll saw but enjoy using a wide variety of tools. Another hobby I enjoy is grilling or cooking, using the herbs that I grow in most of the things I prepare.
