Meet your local hearing health care expert!
Hello, my name is Courtney Prefontaine.
I am your local hearing healthcare provider at Amplifon Hearing Care Experts.
My educational journey began in 2016, leading to the completion of my Bachelor of Arts at Grant MacEwan University. However, a personal experience prompted a swift transition in my career path. After learning of a family member’s hearing loss diagnosis, her clinician’s impact on her life inspired me to begin my studies in the hearing aid practitioner program, and shortly thereafter, I became a board-certified hearing instrument specialist.
I am happy to offer many products and services such as:
• Complimentary Hearing Tests and Hearing Aid Trials
