Meet Our Audiologist Founder and CEO
High Level Speech & Hearing Center was founded in 2016 by Audiologist Dr. Lana Joseph. Dr. Joseph's passion for speech and hearing stemmed from years of being bullied due to her own speech impediment as a young girl. Since 2016, Dr. Joseph and her team—14 doctors and speech therapists, and 13 support staff members—have provided speech and hearing services to over 20,000 individuals within the Greater New Orleans area. High Level has been recognized locally and nationally as a top leader in speech therapy, hearing aids, dizziness, and mobile screening services, including being named Business of the Year by the Jefferson Economic Development Commission and Best Speech Language Pathologist by Expertise.com. Our speech therapists also received recognition as the top speech therapists in New Orleans. Dr. Joseph herself has been featured in Forbes, Gambit 40 under 40, Newtral Groundz, and Biz Magazine.

At High Level, we believe our profession changes lives. This is why our mission is to bring new leaders into the field! According to statistics, nearly 1 in 12 children ages 3–17 has experienced a disorder related to voice, speech, language, or swallowing in the past 12 months. However, there is a serious shortage of speech and hearing professionals to treat and care for the growing number of people suffering from communication disorders. For this reason, High Level has teamed up with several universities to provide teaching and training opportunities for Clinical Fellowship Year Speech-Language Pathologists and Resident Fourth Year Audiologists.
