MEET DR. SHANNA DEWSNUP
A personal why.
A bigger possibility.
Before I was an audiologist or a business owner, I was a mom looking for answers.
My oldest son was born with hearing loss and later diagnosed with Usher syndrome, a condition that also affects vision. Navigating that experience as a parent shaped the way I see healthcare: people need expertise, but they also need to feel understood.
That perspective led me to audiology and, with my husband Kevin, to build Happy Ears Hearing Center. Today, as co-founder and CEO, I help lead a team committed to bringing compassion, clinical excellence, and hope into hearing care.
On stage and in conversation, I share the lessons that connect those worlds—turning personal experience into purpose, creating patient experiences people remember, and building a business with humanity at its center.

Happy Ears.
A bigger kind of care.
Hear better. Live happier.
Kevin and I built Happy Ears Hearing Center around a simple belief: excellent hearing care should feel personal, positive, and full of possibility.
