Kristin Koch,
AuD

Audiologist/Owner

Dr. Koch, Owner and Audiologist, received her doctoral degree in Audiology from A.T. Still University in 2012. Her Bachelors and Masters degrees were both awarded from Western Michigan University. Dr. Koch has been an Audiologist for almost 20 years, challenging herself to continue learning and implement 'best practices' in the profession. She is a member of the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) and received her certification of clinical competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) in 2001.  

After working with Ear Nose & Throat physicians in the Culpeper area for many years, Dr. Koch made the decision to open her own independent private practice in Charlottesville in 2012. She has been very active in the community, including the Chamber of Commerce and local Elder Care Professionals groups. Dr. Koch was the Chair of the Chamber of Commerce Senior Business Roundtable from January of 2017 through January of 2019. This group brings businesses together that work with people 55 and older. She was also part of the new planning committee for Dementia-Friendly Albemarle Charlottesville (DFAC), an effort to make our community more welcoming and accessible for people living with dementia.

Dr. Koch and her husband, Drew, grew up in Michigan, spent time living in Columbia, South Carolina, and moved to Charlottesville in 2005. Dr. Koch’s husband is the Associate Director of Bands at the University of Virginia. They are both active in the community and on Grounds at UVA. Their two children, dogs and a small flock of chickens keep them busy at home.

“Very thorough and caring. Explains everything well. Helpful follow up visits as there’s a lot of tech in the new hearing aids.”

“By my second follow-up visit, I knew my unusually small ear canals couldn't handle CIC devices. No problem! Dr. Koch is ready to try as many types and brands as it takes to please me -- at no extra cost. You can't get this level of attention and care at Costco -- or anywhere else. No wonder Evolution is Cville Magazine's Best year after year!”

“When I had to decide whether to return to Evolution Hearing to solve my deteriorating hearing, or go online for a “better deal,” I chose Evolution. After my very thorough hearing test and extensive discussion with Dr. Koch, I had decided. Not only were the prices similar, I would have the peace of mind that hearing support was close by. There is a reason Evolution Hearing is consistently rated the Best in Charlottesville: Kristin Koch and her staff are professional, friendly and honest. I felt I could discuss the pros and cons of either approach comfortably with them. I wholeheartedly recommend starting with Evolution Hearing for any hearing issue you have.”

“I stopped by Evolution Hearing on 12/20/21 to see if someone could verify the tip of my hearing aid was in my ear canal. No pain but everything was louder in my right ear. Tony was by himself but took the time to verify it was even though he wasn’t qualified to remove it. Thanks Tony for your concern and keeping me from being foolish going to an emergency ENT doctor if tip wasn’t there. ”
