Catherine Martine, Au.D.
President and Clinical Audiologist

I have been a practicing audiologist in the Charleston area since 1975 and was the first audiologist in Charleston to go into private practice.  I am a  Doctor of Audiology, board certified by the American Board of Audiology,  a fellow in the American Academy of Audiology, and licensed by the state of South Carolina. 

In addition to many years of professional experience, I have a personal sensitivity to hearing impairment since I, myself, have a long-standing hearing loss and wear aids to compensate for that loss.  In fact, it was my own hearing loss that prompted my decision to pursue a career in audiology.  One of the main reasons I have never regretted that decision is because being an audiologist has both provided me with the opportunity help others as well as giving me the chance to get to know many wonderful people and their families.

As your personal audiologist, I will not only work to find the best, most economical solution to your hearing loss; but, most importantly, I am committed to providing you with the very best after-care.

TESTIMONIALS

See what others are saying...

"I have been a patient of Cathy Martine's since 1990. She has always looked out for my best interest. She has helped to save me money on the purchase of hearing aids. When digital was first starting, she encouraged me to stick with my analog aids due to price concerns. I now have two behind the ear digital aids that are wonderful. Whenever I have any problems with the aids, she and her staff are very helpful in making sure that if repairs need to be made (out of office) that I get a loaner aid so that I can continue my life.
I could not ask for a better doctor/patient relationship. Thanks for everything."

- Steven R. Sharp

"I want to thank everyone at Carolina Hearing Services, Inc. The entire staff was very friendly and most helpful in every possible way. The difference my hearing aids have made in my life is unbelievable. I can hear things I have not been able to hear in a long time, and the hearing aids are easy to wear and are very comfortable.
I recommend Carolina Hearing Services, Inc., for anyone with a hearing loss."

- Barbara McConaughy

"I have been suffering from hearing loss for fifty years---since serving in the Army before the days of ear protection through years of business meetings and public life where speaking and hearing are clearly crucial. Thanks to Catherine's skill and her expert staff, I have a new and fine-tuned set of hearing aids and am acquiring the discipline to recover the joy of hearing. It is actually fun to visit Carolina Hearing for adjustments or batteries and fun conversation as well. Even her three dachshunds are pleasant. I now have fewer misunderstandings with family and friends; greater enjoyment of concerts, movies, and, yes, even TV; and I don't have to repeatedly say, "Excuse me."
If you have hearing issues, talk to Carolina Hearing about them."
