Beck: Good Morning Sandy. Thanks for spending a few moments with me today.

Mintz: Hi Doug. It’s nice to meet you.

Beck: Sandy, you are in a rather unique position as an audiologist who wears a

cochlear implant.

Before we get to your experiences and observations as a cochlear implant wearer,

I’d like to explore

your audiology background, if that’s OK?

Mintz: Sure. That’s fine.

Beck: Where did you go to school?

Mintz: I went to Indiana University at Bloomington for my undergraduate degree

in Speech and Hearing

Science. After that I earned my master’s degree at the University of Arizona at

Tucson. That was

back in 1984 so I’ve been an audiologist for 20 years.
