Ashley Bugai, Au.D.
Doctor of Audiology – Owner

Ashley received both her Bachelor’s degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences (2014) and Doctor of Audiology (2018) from Arizona State University.

In addition, she moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and completed her last year of training at the Veterans Affairs Pittsburgh Healthcare System. Following graduation, she moved back to Arizona and began her career as a private practice clinician in Mesa, Arizona.

Ashley has received training in diagnostic hearing evaluations and rehabilitation. She also has experience with cochlear implants, bone-anchored hearing devices, vestibular testing and treatment, and tinnitus management. When Ashley was seven years old, she suffered from ear infections resulting in a perforated eardrum. She underwent multiple surgeries to repair it, but today has a mild hearing loss in her right ear. Her personal connection with hearing loss is what drove her to be an Audiologist. She is passionate about the treatment of auditory disorders and hearing loss through the use of evidence-based practice and the latest hearing aid technology.

Ashley was born and raised in Arizona. When not helping patients, Ashley enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, watching movies/football, and giving love to her beagle.

Shonie of Ferndale, WA – I am an audiologist from Washington State visiting this area for the month of November. During my stay I had the opportunity to witness firsthand Dr. Ashley’s excellent patient care and services provided to my aunt throughout her fitting and post fitting appointments. She was patient, kind and thorough. Now my aunt is hearing so much better and no longer missing out on life. Again thank you so much for being part of her hearing journey. M.A. CCC-A Audiologist

Aaron of Mesa, AZ – Dr. Ashley was wonderful. Friendly, sincere and very thorough. I would highly recommend seeing her.

Elizabeth Seidl, Au.D

Doctor of Audiology

Liz graduated from the University of Iowa in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in Speech & Hearing Science, a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics, and a minor in psychology. She then attended Salus University, near Philadelphia, and earned her Doctorate of Audiology in 2009.

Liz has extensive experience in diagnostic hearing evaluations and rehabilitation, using evidence-based practices and the most advanced hearing aid technology. She also has a background in assessment and treatment of vestibular disorders, and auditory brainstem response testing for hearing assessment of special populations. Her interest in audiology developed due to her musical background; when she was introduced to the field of audiology in college, she found it interesting that sounds could be specifically manipulated in order to help people hear better. She was excited to be able to combine her love of music and sound with her desire to help others in an area that was so special to her.

When not helping patients, Liz enjoys spending time with friends and family, rock climbing, running with her dog, playing trumpet, and singing karaoke. She’s a lifelong Cubs fan, and loves cheering for the Iowa Hawkeyes.
