Practice Beginnings
Audiology Associates Hawaii began over four decades ago as an extension of the University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). The JABSOM Dean at the time decided to seek an off-campus home for the clinical program, which ultimately established an audiology department at Kuakini Medical Center where James Yates, Ph.D. was the consulting manager. In 1990, Audiology Associates Hawaii was privatized under ownership of Dr. Yates.
Current Operations
Since 2011, Dr. Meghan Mueller-Schultz has evaluated and treated patients with hearing loss and vestibular disorders at the Aiea office and Kuakini Physicians' Tower. In 2016, Dr. Mueller-Schultz took over ownership of the practice and is continuing the legacy of providing leadership, commitment, and quality of care to patients and future employees of the practice. Dr. Laura Strobel joined our practice in late 2019 and Dr. Mary Ellen Neeley joined us in early 2023 as associate audiologists both providing hearing and vestibular healthcare services to patients in each of our office locations.
