Meet Dr. Joseph K. Durán

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.

Meet Margelia Valdes

Margelia Valdes

Margelia Valdes began her career with us over a decade ago performing clerical duties and basic maintenance of hearing devices, but as she continued in her position, she realized helping others hear again was more than another job.

Margelia decided then, to become an Audiology Assistant, involving herself more with the evaluation and treatment of patients with hearing and vestibular problems.

Always being interested in the evolution of hearing technology, Margie became very familiar with the many options available to those that are hearing impaired. In 2014, she became a Hearing Aid Specialist and she is now a Board Certified Hearing Instrument Specialist and continues to help people hear again.
