History & Values
Founded in 2014 by Dr. Kristen Keener, IlluminEar began as Austin’s first audiology clinic dedicated solely to tinnitus and sound sensitivity disorders. With advanced training in Tinnitus Retraining Therapy and nearly two decades of clinical experience, Dr. Keener envisioned a patient-centered practice grounded in science and compassion.
IlluminEar quickly grew into a trusted resource for individuals struggling with tinnitus, hyperacusis, and misophonia, offering comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and custom treatment plans. Today, the clinic continues to lead in specialized audiology care across Central Texas, empowering patients to reclaim peace and clarity in their daily lives.
