Because provider-patient relationships are crucial to creating better hearing outcomes, we pride ourselves in our ability to truly connect with our patients, so that we’re not only delivering great hearing care, but we’re delivering the care, service, and technology that each individual needs for their particular way of life.

That spirit has been at the heart of our practice ever since it was started 40 years ago by our owner and founder, Dr. Dan Bode. His unique approach and his kind demeanor — a perspective shared by our entire team — is the reason patients keep coming back to us year after year.

Thank you for choosing Associated Hearing for your hearing needs. It’s our honor to serve you, and our pleasure to have you in our better hearing community.

Daniel P. Bode, Au.D., FAAA

Audiologist

Dr. Bode is the founder and director of Associated Hearing. He has provided quality audiologic care to thousands of individuals for more than 40 years. With years of practice experience, Dr. Bode is nationally recognized as an expert in the field of both clinical and forensic audiology. His certifications in audiology, deaf education, and speech pathology have proven useful in serving patients of all ages with hearing loss.

Dr. Bode’s unique approach to hearing care involves close, personal contact with patients at every phase of their journey to better hearing. His belief in providing “remarkable” hearing healthcare has evolved into a concierge care approach, often traveling to non-ambulatory patient’s homes to provide diagnostic testing and follow-up care.

Dr. Bode is a leader in advancing the study and work of audiologic care, and he couples this with mentorship of new audiologist fellows to develop the newest generation of healthcare providers. Other leadership interests involve the Boy Scouts of America and the American Red Cross. Dr. Bode is most proud of his three successful children and he is also blessed with four grandsons and two granddaughters.

Alaina W. Johnson, Au.D., FAAA

Audiologist

Dr. Johnson is a native of New Orleans. She provides audiological evaluations and treatment to patients in our Covington office, as well as professional services to many nursing homes and assisted living facilities throughout the Northshore area. She is dedicated to helping her patients achieve the best hearing possible with the latest advances in diagnostics and technology. She has received specialized certification by the Tinnitus Practitioners Association to provide tinnitus management therapy. Dr. Johnson is also highly skilled in audiological assessment and rehabilitation for both pediatric and adult populations, and enjoys seeing patients of all ages.

Dr. Johnson earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences from the University of Southern Mississippi, and went on to earn her Doctorate of Audiology from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center of New Orleans.

Dr. Johnson resides in Ponchatoula with her husband Seth and three children. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, cooking and spending time with her family and friends. Dr. Johnson became interested in audiology after seeing several of her family members suffering with hearing loss. She wanted to help others facing the same communication difficulties improve the quality of their lives through better hearing.

We truly love working with our patients to help them hear and feel their best, and through our unique combination of compassionate care, commitment to service, ongoing training on the latest, most-effective technology, and clear, thorough, and considerate communication, Associated Hearing has built a track record of success.

Associated Hearing is local, independent, and patient-oriented. We pride ourselves on creating a patient community based on honesty, integrity, and value. When you’re a patient here, you’re a friend, and you’re always welcome. That’s why so many of our patients return to us year after year for their hearing needs.
