Dr. Joe Kraus, Audiologist
Joe Kraus, Au.D. is a Doctor of Audiology who brings both clinical knowledge and personal experience to his practice. Dr. Joe earned his Doctor of Audiology degree from the University of Northern Colorado in May 2025. Living with hearing loss himself, he understands the challenges his patients face and is dedicated to helping individuals of all ages reconnect with the world through better hearing. Dr. Joe provides comprehensive hearing evaluations and personalized hearing aid fittings, always prioritizing clear communication and patient-centered care.
Dr. Joe was born in Tualatin, Oregon but his family relocated to Colorado when he was five. While he isn’t a true native, he’s thankful to call Colorado the place he grew up. When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find him hiking Colorado’s scenic trails, playing a round of golf, or watching whichever local sports team is in season with his golden retriever Gus.
