Dr. Layne Garrett, Au.D. — Audiologist & Tinnitus Specialist | American Fork, Utah
Board Certified Audiologist & Tinnitus Specialist
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, who served as the town doctor here. 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. That experience shaped everything that followed.
Dr. Garrett earned his Bachelor of Science in Communicative Disorders from Utah State University, his Master of Science in Audiology from Brigham Young University, and his Doctor of Audiology from Salus University. He holds a postgraduate diploma in Auditory Neuroscience from SAERA University, the Certificate in Tinnitus Management (CH-TM) from the American Board of Audiology, and is a Certified Provider recommended by the American Tinnitus Association — recognition given to a select group of clinicians nationwide. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology and a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP).
Before founding Timpanogos Hearing & Tinnitus in 2003, 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 mentored audiology interns from Utah State University and remains dedicated to training the next generation of hearing care professionals.
