Meet Karen Belgard

BIOGRAPHY

Karen Belgard has been an audiologist in the greater Milwaukee area since 1986. Before coming to the Medical College, she worked in a large ENT Clinic and then for a smaller ENT practice. She has extensive experience in diagnostic audiology and hearing aid technology and fittings.

Dr. Belgard has a special interest in working with hearing impaired and with hearing aids. Patient education and counseling are a strong part of her focus. Providing her patients with a better background regarding their hearing and balance functions allows her patients to be more active participants in their own healthcare decisions.
