Meet Our Staff
Cheryl Kenney
President of Sound Advice Hearing Centers, Inc.
and Hearing Instrument Specialist
Cheryl Kenney has been a Hearing Instrument Specialist for over a decade in New
Hampshire. She initially became interested in hearing and hearing aids when a family
friend faced decisions about hearing loss and appropriate hearing healthcare. Cheryl went
on to establish Sound Advice Hearing Centers, Inc. in 1995.
Ms. Kenney's years as both a Health and Special Education teacher coupled with eight years of military service as an Army Reserve Medic prepared her for the professional hearing healthcare she now provides her patients. Veterans at the White River Junction VA Hospital were early recipients of her hearing testing services.
Cheryl was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree from Moorhead State University (MN) and has continued her education with coursework at University of New Hampshire as well as hearing instrument manufacturers' seminars. The International Hearing Society, which awarded Ms. Kenney board certification as a Hearing Instrument Specialist, is another resource for various on-going training opportunities.
