Cami Lawless, HID

Hearing Instrument Dispenser

I was raised in the business of helping people hear. My family and I have been involved in changing lives through better hearing since 1973. I moved to Minnesota in 1995 and purchased Associated Hearing in Maplewood. I have enjoyed helping thousands of Minnesotans hear! We set ourselves apart from other clinics by dedicating the time and expertise to deliver the best possible results for our patients. This takes many weekly follow up appointments in the beginning to work with the patients to maximize benefit. We follow up quarterly to ensure that the hearing instrument is working properly, ears are clean, and adjustments, if necessary, are made. We strive for patient satisfaction. I have served with the Starkey Hearing Foundation on several hearing missions around the world. It is such a great way to give so many people a chance that they might otherwise not have for an education and happy life.

Throughout their journey to a more fulfilling lifestyle, she has the pleasure of embracing their families, while learning from their vast experiences. What Lisa wants her patients to know about her everyday work with them is: “Our team is ever-present to assist in any way possible. Purchasing hearing aids is just one piece of a lifetime puzzle.

Outside of saving hearing lives, Lisa loves cooking with her husband & friends. They enjoy a variety of different foods and wines, as well as hosting gatherings with full social participation. She loves walking around the lake with their eight-year-old Vizsla, Winnie, or snuggling with their 20-year-old cat, Maisy. When time permits, she loves to hit the gym! Her greatest joy is being able to see her adult children on the weekends and catch up on their busy, full lives. Lisa and her husband have a love for travel! As they’ve raised their family, they enjoy exploring new places, while revisiting old memorable spots, too. She has a love for horses and riding when time permits and enjoys swimming and biking, weather permitting.
