Founder Dr. Layne Garrett, AuD, ABAC, CH-TM
Board Certified Audiologist
Born and raised in American Fork, Dr. Layne Garrett continues his family’s long tradition of serving the health needs of Utah County—following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Dr. Guy Richards. His passion for audiology began after serving an LDS mission to the Deaf in Boston, where he witnessed firsthand the life-changing power of communication and hearing restoration.
Dr. Garrett earned his Bachelor of Science in Communicative Disorders from Utah State University, a Master of Science in Audiology from Brigham Young University, and his Doctor of Audiology from Salus University. He holds the Certificate Holder in Tinnitus Management (CH-TM) from the American Board of Audiology and a postgraduate diploma in Auditory Neuroscience from SAERA University. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology, and is a Certified Provider recommended by the American Tinnitus Association (ATA)—recognition given to a select group of clinicians nationwide.
Before founding Timpanogos Hearing & Tinnitus, Dr. Garrett worked at Sonic Innovations, where he trained audiologists across the country and contributed to research and development in advanced hearing aid technology. He has also mentored audiology interns from Utah State University and remains dedicated to training the next generation of hearing care professionals.
Dr. Garrett is also the creator of My Tinnitus Therapy, a digital therapeutic program that has already helped hundreds of people worldwide better adapt to tinnitus and restore peace in their daily lives. His innovative approach reflects his belief that treating tinnitus and hearing loss is not about devices alone, but about rebuilding lives, relationships, and confidence.
He is the author of three widely read books:
- Hear Us Out – Why Treating Hearing Loss and Tinnitus Is One of the Most Important Decisions You Will Ever Make
- Take Your Life Back – How Treating Tinnitus Can Restore Peace, Rest, Relationships, and Happiness to Your Life
- Welcome Back to the World of Hearing
Through these works, Dr. Garrett shares cutting-edge research and compassionate guidance to empower patients and their families.
When he’s not in the clinic, Dr. Garrett enjoys cycling, golf, and amateur radio. He and his wife, Kimberlee Bennett of Highland, are the proud parents of three children.
