Clint D. Keifer, Au.D., F-AAA, CCC-A
Dr. Keifer is a U.S. Army veteran who served 2.5 years active duty as a tank crewman and 5.5 years (during his undergraduate education) for the Michigan Army National Guard as a sergeant and tank gunner/tank commander. He graduated summa cum laude with his Bachelor of Science degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology from Western Michigan University in 2003 and was named Presidential Scholar. He received his Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree from the Ohio State University in 2007. Dr. Keifer and his wife, Laura, moved to the Toledo area in 2008 to be closer to their families. Laura has taught 2nd grade and works as a reading specialist for Maumee Schools since moving here. In the spring of 2015, Clint and Laura welcomed their long-awaited children, Willa and Bennett, into their lives. They have since been blessed again in 2018 with the birth of another son, Rowan.
Dr. Keifer is passionate about patient care and community awareness of hearing health, with specific interests centering around education, prevention, and rehabilitation of hearing loss, tinnitus, and communication deficits. He started Great Lakes Audiology so that he could deliver the greatest possible care to you and your family in a warm and friendly environment.
Dr. Keifer is a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) and a member of the Ohio Academy of Audiology (OAA) where he previously served on the Board of Directors (4 years) and as Northwest Ohio membership liaison. In 2017, he was honored by the OAA as “Outstanding Young Audiologist”. Dr. Keifer is a former clinical audiology practicum supervisor for the University of Toledo graduate speech language pathology program. In 2024, he was recognized by the Ohio State University Department of Speech and Hearing Science faculty as a “Distinguished Alumni” during the Doctor of Audiology Hooding Ceremony.
Outside of Audiology, Dr. Keifer enjoys many activities including woodworking, home improvement, drawing/painting, running, kayaking, camping, and–most of all–spending time with his family.

Audiology Technician/Assistant
Kris Dalton
Kris joined our team in 2022 to conduct on-site hearing screenings for companies in our region and their employees. She loves getting to play a key role in our HearWatch hearing conservation program, which is designed to protect the hearing health of workers in our area, and assist area companies in maintaining compliance with OSHA health regulations. On the days she is in our office, Kris works with Dr. Keifer and DeAnne on any projects that help our patients and make their visits to Great Lakes Audiology a positive experience.
Kris moved to Northwest Ohio in 2008 and immediately fell in love with its Maumee River and Lake Erie views. Paddle boarding, kayaking, hiking, driving, and dining along the river and lake are what she loves doing most when she gets a free day. She lives in Perrysburg with her husband, Zac, and their three daughters (Lily, Anna, and Holly). She and Zac treasure any time they get to spend with these busy young adults.
