Julie VanAusdal started her career as a clinical audiologist with a B.S. degree in speech pathology from the University of Iowa in 1985. She came to Washington state for post-graduate study in audiology, earning an M.S. in audiology from the University of Washington, which included an internship that she completed in 1988.

Following the completion of her master’s degree, Ms. VanAusdal worked with a neuro-otologist in Anchorage, AK. While in this practice, she performed diagnostic audiology services, including intraoperative monitoring, and cochlear implant programming. In addition to diagnostic work, she provided her patients with solutions to their hearing challenges using hearing instruments and assistive listening devices.

She returned to Olympia, WA in 1995, working in a local ENT practice until 2007 where she continued to apply her expertise with hearing instrument fitting and aural rehabilitation to provide local patients with better hearing solutions in our community.

Since 2007, Ms. VanAusdal has operated South Sound Audiology, applying 35 years of education, experience, and expertise to provide hearing solutions to pediatric and adult patients in the greater Olympia community.

She is passionate about restoring the relationships and opportunities her patients lost because of hearing challenges. Her greatest motivation is seeing her patients enjoy a more active, rewarding, and independent lifestyle due to better hearing. Her commitment to our community shines through in her patient-centered approach to her audiology practice.
