Kris is the director and principal audiologist at Focus Hearing. Kris has been working in audiology private practice for 25 years now, since graduating from University of Western Australia with First Class Honours, and completing his post graduate Audiology Degree with the University of Melbourne.

Kris initially worked in private practice in Perth for 13 years, before relocating back to his home-town of Sydney where he started Focus Hearing in 2013. Since then, Focus Hearing has grown from a single premises in Crows Nest to also offering audiological services to the Central Coast and the Northern Beaches.

“I have a deep passion for assisting people who are motivated to improve their hearing. I understand that making the initial decision to improve your hearing can be both quite emotional and daunting with the amount of information available. My aim is to make the process as smooth as possible and for each person to feel comfortable with the process”

“I also know that in most cases, that although the fitting of a hearing aid is an essential component to improving hearing outcomes, the hearing aid alone cannot solve all the issues. It is imperative that each person understands the critical role of brain adaptation plays in a successful outcome. I work hard to ensure that each person has this information and will therefore have the best opportunity for a successful outcome.”

In his spare time, Kris loves to spend time with his wife and two teenage children, and his ‘happy place’ is either surfing on the Northern Beaches or snow skiing with the family.
