Kayla Thompson, Au.D., CCC-A
Kayla Thompson, Au.D. views her work as a series of partnerships where she supports each patient along the path to hearing better. Fueled by the words “I can hear again,” she loves to hear stories about how patients are able to interact with their loved ones–as well as get back to doing what they love. And she can directly relate to her patients. Ms. Thompson has experienced hearing loss firsthand and personally dealt with difficulties resulting from it. She also understands the impact that hearing loss can have on a family, since she’s watched her father struggle with his hearing throughout her life. At work and beyond, Kayla is known as thoughtful and personable. She always puts on a podcast as she drives home to her husband, daughter, and their two dogs. She loves spending time with her family, whether it’s watching movies or going on long walks together.

Angela Cissom, Au.D.,
Angela Cissom, is an Audiologist who works for AudioNova in Springfield MO. Her clinical specialties include working with the hearing impaired and their families to evaluate and fit hearing aids based on their individual needs and situation. Angela has been working in private practice for almost 15 years. She is passionate about raising Alzheimer’s awareness and how it impacts cognitive function related to hearing loss. Angela graduated from Calvin College in 2008 with a major in Communication Science Disorders. She went on to earn a Doctorate of Audiology from Missouri State University in 2012. She became a hearing care provider because of her personal experience with her father’s hearing loss and her desire to improve her patients’ quality of life through better hearing. Her favorite part of working as a hearing care provider is seeing her patients’ faces light up when they can hear again, knowing that she has made a difference in their lives. Outside of work, Angela enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She is married to her husband Justin, and has four children ranging from ages 3 to 15. While not particularly into sports, she watches the MSU Bulldogs and Dallas Cowboys with her husband.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use hearing protection?
You should always use hearing protection when engaging in high-noise recreational activities or work. These activities may include hunting, music concerts, motor sports, and/or construction. Noise-induced hearing loss can result from prolonged exposure to noise or a single, extremely loud event. The louder the sound, the quicker it can cause damage. If you notice ringing in your ears or temporary hearing loss after a loud noise exposure, the environment was too noisy and could be harmful. If that ringing or temporary hearing loss is persistent, it would be a good idea to contact us for a hearing evaluation.
Should I get my hearing tested?
If you suspect that you or a loved one may be experiencing hearing loss, it’s recommended that you seek help sooner rather than later. Hearing loss tends to develop gradually and is often noticeable to close friends and family well before the affected individual realizes it. Identifying and treating hearing loss promptly is crucial. Ignoring it could lead to significant long-term effects, such as increased risk of depression and dementia.
How much does a hearing test cost?
At Sound Advice by AudioNova, hearing tests are offered FREE of charge.

Im new to Springfield. I've had an audiologist for years. I must say, the help that I received was top notch. The audiologist gave me more information about my hearing and my hearing aids that I had ever received before. I HIGHLY recommend them. Sincerely

I purchased Signia hearing aids from this company in September 2019. By November 2021, the left one had to be sent in for repair because the battery would no longer recharge. Just a few months later, in February 2022, I had to send the right one in for the same issue. Now, three years later, the right one has failed again and will not charge. I reached out to the company, only to be told there is nothing they can do. Essentially, I spent $5,000 on hearing aids that are now unusable, with no support or resolution offered. That equates to $1,250 per year—money that could have gone toward replaceable batteries instead of these rechargeable ones that stop working every few years. Buyer beware! Do not purchase from this company.

Please accept our apologies Dr. Jeffrey, this shouldn't have happened. Please contact us at feedback@audionova.com again and they will book a new appointment at a convenient time for you. Best Wishes.

I’ve been a customer for about 6 months. I’m always warmly greeted by Jasmine who, to date, has been able to assess, rework and return my aids to full working form, EVERY TIME! She’s been fast, efficient, friendly and heads and shoulders above any other clinic I’ve visited. If you want a quality product with exceptional service, Sound advice is the place for restoring your hearing and faith in area businesses!

Kayla helped me today and she was such a blessing! I’m stuck at home with a new knee replacement and my hearing aids went out. I called the Springfield office on National Ave. and she was able to walk me through a multi step process and get the hearing aids working perfectly again. I have worked with Kayla before and she is extremely good at her job and a joy to work with. Thank you so much Kayla! A great place to get Hearing Aids.

My GPA had an appointment here to get his hearing aid paid for, very first appointment he has had with this place and the blonde with tattoos was very rude to my GMA. When my GMA didn't understand her answer she got frustrated she had to explain it to her. I had to step in and explain it so my GMA would understand. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of one is because kayla was absolutely the best and very respectful and so sweet! And she also got my grandparents the best out of pocket deal she could! So thank you Kayla for turning out bad experience into a better one!
