Specialist audiology for Arkansans who've been told to just live with it.
If you're in Arkansas and have been living with tinnitus, sound sensitivity, or an auditory processing difference that no one has properly addressed — you haven't run out of options. You've run out of general ones. Auditory Pathway is telehealth-first, requires no referral, and brings full specialist care to wherever you are in the state.
Where Arkansas Audiology Falls Short
Specialist audiology for adults with tinnitus, hyperacusis, misophonia, or APD is hard to find in Arkansas — particularly outside of Little Rock and Fayetteville. Most clinics are generalist in focus, built around hearing aids and routine assessments rather than the kind of structured, condition-specific intervention these patients actually need. For anyone outside the major centers, the barrier isn't just clinical — it's geographic. Driving hours for an appointment that ends with a normal audiogram and no clear path forward is a pattern too many Arkansas patients know well. Telehealth removes that barrier entirely, bringing the same specialist care to every corner of the state.
No Waitlist
Specialist appointments typically available within two weeks — no months-long wait for a referral to clear.
0 Commute
Sessions run from your home, on a laptop, on a schedule that works around your life — not a clinic hours away.
100%
Of clinical time spent on tinnitus, sound sensitivity, and adult APD. Not a sub-speciality squeezed between hearing-aid fittings.
Five specialized pathways

most clinics overlook.
Every program begins with a real evaluation—not a five-minute screen. Each links to a dedicated page where you can explore what to expect, how it works, and what it costs.
From clinic frustration to a practice that actually listens.
For most of her clinical career, Dr. Kaitlyn Lepore watched the same scene repeat itself. A patient walks in describing real, life-altering symptoms — a ringing that won't stop, sounds that feel physically painful, conversations that scramble in noisy rooms. The hearing test runs for ten minutes, the audiogram comes back roughly normal, and the patient is sent home with nothing more than "there's nothing more we can do."
“The line we kept giving people was that the test was clear, so there wasn’t much to do. That was never true. We just weren’t set up to test the right thing — or to spend the time treating it.” — Dr. Lepore
Auditory Pathway was built on the understanding that hearing healthcare is about more than devices — and that too many people are living with conditions that can be genuinely improved. It was built to be the practice that appointment should have led to. Because the patients sent home with nothing weren't out of options. They were just in the wrong room.
