Rasmussen saw how hectic it is for older patients who juggle multiple doctors appointments for various ailments and how driving and physical limitations compound their anxiety. She knew there had to be a better way and decided to start a mobile hearing program in addition to the office practice. Making house calls to seniors in their home and assisted living facilities was the perfect answer.
Unlike concierge practices where patients pay annual fees, Rasmussen does not charge extra for home visits.
She came to her career with perspective: Her family has a history of hearing deficits including her first child, a daughter was born with hearing loss.
Ann and her husband Brian, a second generation firefighter and whose family has lived in Naples since the 50s, are happily serving those with hearing loss with the personal service they deserve.
Dr. Ann Rasmussen, Au.D., CCC-A, is a top hearing doctor in the field of audiology and was the first approved provider in Naples for Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment.
