New Hampshire Hearing Institute

We take great pleasure in introducing The New Hampshire Hearing Institute which will continue to feature the complete range of diagnostic testing and therapeutic modalities for the treatment of hearing loss. This will include the fitting and servicing of the most advanced hearing aids, featuring digital processing, wireless technology and other recently introduced technology.

Our Audiologists come to us with varied backgrounds and a combined 25 years of experience. Laurie Cesati, a graduate of the University of Virginia, has practiced at the Lahey Clinic where she helped to establish their hearing aid department. Karen Lukeman and Alison Nardone join us after many years of dedicated service at Andover ENT. Both completed graduate work at Northeastern University and are pursuing advanced Doctorate degrees.

Laurie is a 1995 graduate of the University of New Hampshire where she majored in Communication Disorders. She continued her education at the University of Virginia where she completed her Masters of Education degree in Audiology in 1997. After a one year clinical fellowship she became an American Speech, Language and Hearing Association certified audiologist and started her professional career at Carle Clinic Association in Urbana, IL. She returned to the east coast in the summer of 2000 and joined the audiology staff at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA where she worked before joining ENT Specialists of Southern New Hampshire in September of 2007.

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, family, and friends. As animal lovers she and her husband enjoy volunteering and attending fund raising events for a local animal shelter.
