Meet Founder Dr. Thomas A. McCarty

Board-Certified Audiologist

I was born in Denver, Colorado, grew up in Maryland and moved to Alaska following the completion of my Audiology training. Both of my parents have hearing loss-my father has Meniere’s Disease and my mother has genetic hearing loss. I became interested in Audiology as a result. In fact, my mother was the first patient I treated after she had been told, “Nothing will help”. I am glad I was able to provide her with a second opinion!

I worked as a Public Health Audiologist, after moving to Alaska, and traveled to remote villages providing Audiology services. I met my wife at the Public Health Hospital in Bethel, where she was working as a Nurse. We have two wonderful children, Elizabeth and Alyson, who both work in our Audiology Practice. We are truly a family-based clinic, in addition to being Alaskan-owned!

We have volunteered annually for our Medical Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic where we have helped thousands of patients.

I am a seven-time Boston Marathon Finisher, raising funds for cancer research at Harvard University.

At Audiology Associates, we truly believe we have an obligation to provide the most advanced Neurotechnology Medical Treatment options available. This is not something that is learned once but is an ongoing learning process with continuing education and a lifelong pursuit to be the best at what we do. These aspirations help us to give our patients individualized Neurotechnology Medical Treatment geared for the most healthy and efficient path towards better hearing clarity, and improved tinnitus and brain function.

They took good care of me from the moment I got my first call until now. The team is very attentive, answered my questions patiently and made themselves available for anything I need. Location is easy to find and plenty free parking space available. I recommend them.

Great experience. Provided all the insight I needed to make an informed decision. My quality of life changed immediately. I heard instruments in songs I didn’t realize I hadn’t heard for years.

I’ve only had my hearing aids a little over a week, but I am super pleased with their performance and I didn’t realize how much time I missed in life not being able to hear. I will update this review in a few months.

At 71 years of age I thought my hearing was doing just fine. However after the simple testing, I realized my hearing was not doing as well as I thought. When the tech first placed one of the hearing aids in one of my ears, I was shocked at how much better I could hear. And after the second one was in, I realized I didn't want to go through life without them. The hearing aids are practically invisible and so tiny I'm amazed I didn't get them sooner. They are easier to wear than my glasses, which I have had for 30 years. I highly recommend this office, and urge people not to put this off like I did until my 70's.

Very nice staff. Eluzabeth McCarthy was very nice and explained things very clearly.. Although it is soooo expensive if you need tools ie, hearing aides they so offer payment plans.
