About Us

Patients First

Quality Hearing Care

At Audiology Specialists, we don’t believe in an “one-size-fits-all” approach. One of our specialties is providing customized hearing solutions, tailor-made for your lifestyle. Our patients come first, period.

Audiology Specialists, LLC is independently owned by Dr. Laura Robertson who has been providing hearing care in the Lakes region since 1992. LOR is the only Audiologist in the Lakes Region to be board certified by the American Board of Audiology. Dr. Robertson is one of only a handful of Audiologists in NH to achieve this designation. This certification is only available to Audiologists who have a high level of commitment to continuing education, which leads to greater expertise.

Your hearing loss and your goals are unique. You deserve an Audiologist who will listen to your concerns and has the skill to offer a personalized solution. Our caring, helpful staff and homelike atmosphere will make you comfortable. Evening hours are available by prior arrangement.

Audiologist and Owner

Laura O'Brien Robertson Au.D.

Dr. Laura O’Brien Robertson, Au.D. is dedicated to providing quality professional services with special attention to your personal needs. Licensed in both Rhode Island and New Hampshire, Dr. Robertson has earned the following educational degrees in Audiology: BS from the University of New Hampshire, her MA from the University of Connecticut and her Doctorate from Pennsylvania College of Optometry, School of Audiology. This is now known as the Elkins Park Campus of Drexel University. Dr. Robertson was awarded her Certificate of Clinical Competence in 1992 by ASHA and received her Audiology Board Certification in 2003 from the American Board of Audiology.

Dr. Robertson has worked at ENT Associates of Westerly, Ltd before returning home to New Hampshire where she practiced with ENT Associates of NH in Laconia for five years before opening her own practice in Laconia.

A member of many local organizations throughout her career, Dr. Robertson was nominated by the Governor to the New Hampshire Board of Hearing Care Providers when the board was founded in 1997. She and 4 other professionals wrote all the rules for the board’s rules of operation. In 2019, Dr. Robertson has returned to serve on the board again. The board was eliminated without warning, notice or even advisement to members, as part of Governor Sununu’s intention to reduce regulation in NH. This occurred in a 200 page piece of legislation that passed. This occurred despite full support for the board and its function by Audiologists, Hearing Aid Dispensers and the public.

Dr. Robertson was also actively involved in the New Hampshire task force which successfully implemented a statewide infant hearing screening program. Dr. Robertson was president of the NH Academy of Audiology for more than 10 consecutive years before stepping down.

Dr. Roberson’s expertise and quality of service have earned her numerous ACE and Scholar awards, due to extensive hours of continuing education, from the American Academy of Audiology and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. She frequently attends continuing educational programs to stay current with the ever-changing developments and advancements relating to hearing healthcare.
