Hannah attended East Carolina University and started working at Allied Hearing Centers in 2022. Hannah Graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Sciences and began working in the hearing industry shortly after completing her degree.

Amy Staggs
Regional Office Manager
Amy Staggs joined Audibel in 2018 as a Regional Administrative Manager. In July of 2020 I was promoted to Regional Manager of South Florida. Connecting people back to their world is a passion of mine as I love seeing the smiles on patients faces when they are able to hear their spouses again. I enjoy helping our employees provide exceptional customer service, teaching and guiding them to help save hearing lives.
In 2020 I have begun schooling to become a Hearing Instrument Specialist to perfect my craft and personally reconnect more people to their worlds. I look forward to meeting you in our offices!
In my free time I love spending time on the soccer fields with my two boys and traveling the state of Florida visiting new state parks and amusement parks.
