Cheryl believes its life changing for the patient and she is thankful to be a part of it.

Stacey Frenton
Patient Care Coordinator
Stacey Frenton is a Sr. Patient Care Coordinator. Stacey is originally from Newark, Ohio and moved to Nashport, Ohio in 2022. Stacey attended Licking Valley High School and started working at American Ear Hearing & Audiology in 2020. Stacey began working in the hearing industry in 2020 and was drawn to the profession because it was something different than she was used to and sounded interesting. What Stacey loves most about saving hearing lives is seeing a person’s reaction when they can hear things they weren’t able to prior to coming into the clinic. Stacey strives to make sure every patient has a great experience in her everyday work with patients. Outside of saving hearing lives, Stacey loves hanging out at home with her family, riding on the back of her husband’s Harley, and going on walks with her husband.
Customer Reviews
I don’t have my hearing aids yet, but so far I’m super-impressed. Linda was, hands down, the best audiologist I have ever worked with. Really excited to get my hearing aids and hopefully live a normal life again!
