Meet the Team
Robin Bohannon
Doctor of Audiology
Dr. Bohannon received his undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Audiology from the University of Georgia. After practicing audiology in Augusta, Georgia, for many years, he furthered his education at the Pennsylvania School of Optometry where he achieved his doctorate. He has been with various Ear, Nose, and Throat groups in town for over 30 years.
Dr. Bohannon's enthusiasm for hearing diagnostics and hearing aids eventually convinced him to go into private practice. His heartfelt conviction is that all patients need time and attention when adjusting to their new lifestyle.
Amanda S. Battey
Doctor of Audiology
Dr. Battey completed her undergraduate and Master’s degree from the University of Georgia. She went on to Arizona School of Health Sciences to obtain her Doctor of Audiology. Dr. Battey has been practicing audiology for 30+ years. She has experience in all ages, but her passion is Pediatrics. Amanda's start in Augusta began at Augusta ENT, where she met Dr. Bohannon.
Dr. Battey met her husband, Tom, after he walked into one of her clinics. He convinced her to give him a shot, and here they are many happy years later. They currently live in Augusta, GA with their two beautiful children.
Annabelle Noegel
Hearing aid dispenser
Annabelle has been working for Augusta Hearing since September of 2019. Dr. Battey brought her on to help file papers and charts after her classes. Her love of hearing health grew from there. Annabelle worked through the ranks starting out by filing paperwork, then had a short stint as receptionist, and eventually transitioned to handling hearing aid repairs. After that time, she decided to actively pursue a career within the hearing industry. Annabelle started the process of getting fully licensed, and after two years gained her Hearing Aid Dispensing license in December of 2023.
Annabelle is grateful for her continued time at Augusta Hearing and can not wait to see where life takes her.
wendy bankes
patient care coordinator
Wendy has been working within hearing industry for over 8 years. She got her start at Augusta ENT, where she worked with Dr. Battey. Thanks to her time at Augusta ENT, she had easily learned and familiarized herself with the knowledge required to readily help the office staff and our patients. While Wendy is still new to Augusta Hearing, her addition to us has been invaluable. She has never met a stranger. Wendy's infectious smile is the first thing to greet you when you walk through the doors. She keeps the office and all who enter in high spirits.
While Wendy is currently working at the front desk, she will soon start her hands-on process to become a licensed Hearing Aid Dispenser.
JILL B.
Jill B. is the AHB Billing Coordinator. She is our go-to for filing claim submissions, checking hearing aid benefits, and all things Insurance. Jill has been with Augusta Hearing and Balance since 2016. She started out as the receptionist, then quickly moved through the ranks to become our very own Certified Professional Coder (CPC).
Jill's years of experience has been invaluable to the team. She is our little "bulldog"; she's not scared to fight for what our patients are owed. Jill is very familiar with claim processing and will not hesitate to appeal a claim!
Jill's Active-Duty husband, four children, and dogs keep her entertained. When she is not working, she enjoys homemaking, baking, crafting, warding off copperheads, and going on runs with all four og her dogs.
EMERITUS;
Bad Bad LEROY Brown and Junior
Leroy was our infamous "office" cat. Our next door neighbors looked after Leroy, and when they closed, asked us if we would be his new caretakers. He allowed us to leave him food and water, but stayed far far away and was as elusive as they come! He and his son, Leroy Jr., have since been relocated to a sunny farm where they can catch all the mice they desire.
We think they're the cat's meow, and so do they!
