Ariel Daniel earned a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Morehead State University and a certificate in teaching the deaf and hard of hearing. Having hearing loss herself, Ariel understands the challenges deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals face. While working as a Deaf Education Teacher in the public school system, she connected with many children, families, and professionals in the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Over time, Ariel wanted to do more to help rural areas beyond her role as a teacher. After attending a KY HEARS event, the director explained how the program provides audiology services to rural areas. Inspired and ready for a change, Ariel accepted a position at Heuser two weeks later!
Ariel is passionate about offering the best hearing care possible by sharing helpful information, delivering exceptional patient care, and serving as a valuable resource to the communities she works with. She is married to her husband, Sam, and loves spending time with their 12 nieces and nephews. Ariel also has a brother with hearing loss. In her free time, she enjoys reading, playing video games with her husband, and cooking.
