Jennifer La Borde, a distinguished University of Colorado graduate, has been a hearing care provider and specialist since 2002. Joining our staff in 2005, she is co-owner of Boulder County’s longest-serving hearing care practice. Jennifer’s passion for human connections and communication emerged during her ASL studies and interactions with the Deaf community. This led her to study speech, language, and hearing sciences, deepening her commitment to improving lives through better hearing. A 30-year ballet veteran, she also enjoys dancing the Argentine tango with her husband and spending time with their son.
