Who we are:
Brant Audiology & Tinnitus is the largest comprehensive private audiology practice in Wyoming. Despite our size, we pride ourselves in forming genuine, meaningful connections with each and every patient.
We have multiple locations and four outgoing, charismatic, Doctors of Audiology who are all interested in working with externs to help them become world-class audiologists.
We thrive on giving back. Our philanthropic non-profit, Hearing the Call – Wyoming’s, mission is to provide better hearing to individuals in Wyoming who cannot afford it on their own. To help maintain dignity, those receiving help are given opportunities to give back to the community through service to others. Hearing the Call also supports better hearing globally.
We set the bar for hearing health care. Our audiologists lead with care and science for every ear at every age; this means we often work collaboratively with other care providers to ensure comprehensive, holistic hearing health care. Evidence-based practice is at the center of every decision we make and treatment we choose.
We are the only cochlear implant audiology practice in the State of Wyoming, working with all three CI manufacturers.
We specialize in tinnitus evaluation and management with an extensive tinnitus test battery and solution-driven, holistic treatment management options.

Brant Audiology & Tinnitus came to be in August 2012 when Brant Christensen, AuD, of Brant Audiology and Ruby Zubrod, AuD, of Audiology and Tinnitus Center of Cheyenne joined their successful practices to become a better-rounded audiology office. This partnership allowed both doctors the ability to provide better care to their patients. With our team of Doctors of Audiology, 4th year Audiology Interns and several Audiology Assistants, we are the largest comprehensive audiology clinic in Wyoming. Even though we are the largest audiology clinic in this region, we pride ourselves in not losing the personal touch. Our full-time offices (Cheyenne, Casper, Wyoming) and part-time locations in Torrington & Wheatland, Wyoming) provide comprehensive audiology care to most of Wyoming.
