About Us

Dr. Joseph K. Durán started his career at Caribe Hearing Aids in Miami at a very young age, where he learned a great deal about hearing loss and hearing aids.

While attaining his degree at Miami-Dade College, he worked as a Hearing Instrument Specialist and realized his passion for his family-owned business, started by his parents.

Dr. Durán had the opportunity to sharpen his skills as an audiologist at the University of Miami Ear Institute before finally receiving a doctorate degree in Audiology at the University of South Florida.

Yvette Duran Someillan, started working at Caribe Hearing Aids at a young age, “did not think I would spend most of my life in this industry.” But while studying Accounting at Florida International University (FIU) she also studied for and received a license to sell and dispense hearing aids.

After graduating from FIU she decided to continue working at Caribe and applied her accounting knowledge to the administrative side of the business. After opening New Generation Hearing in 2009 with her brother Joseph, she continued to both use her Hearing Aid Dispensing License and her Accounting skills to grow their family business.
