‘A step of faith’
Bradford ventures out on her own to open Knox Audiology in Hardin Valley

Owner/doctor of audiology Kalyn Bradford celebrated the opening of her practice, 10922 Spring Bluff Way in Knoxville, with a Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce-sponsored ribbon cutting at the office Thursday, April 24.
“We’re so glad you’re here,” FWKCC president/CEO Julie Blaylock said. “We’re excited to open with this new member, this new business.
“Welcome and thank you for coming,” Bradford said. “Knox Audiology is, first, a mission. This is my goal: to show people how they can be cared for and who God is to me and how I can love them.
“I take care of adults, especially senior adults, who have a hearing loss and just need help in communicating with their families again, being plugged into their world so they don’t have to miss out on anything,” she added. “Our goal is just to connect people to other people.”
Bradford has been in Knoxville practicing audiology for 13 years. She was at a large ENT practice “and part of a wonderful group,” she said.
“But I felt like God was calling me to step out and take a step of faith to do this on my own,” she added.
“I went from leading people to just leading myself and hopefully navigating as well, but mainly it’s been a step of faith.”
