About Us

Dr. Brooke Jennings recently earned a Doctorate in Audiology at East Carolina University and completed her externship at the Greenville Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic. Her journey in audiology is driven by a desire to build strong connections with patients and ensure they receive the highest quality of hearing healthcare. She holds a particular interest in vestibular audiology, assessing balance and dizziness dysfunctions.

Originally from Grafton, West Virginia, Dr. Jennings has a deep appreciation for nature and all things outdoors. Beyond audiology, she finds solace in trout fishing, gardening, and biking the Swamp Rabbit Trails. One of her favorite sounds is the gentle rippling of a trout stream. She looks forward to meeting new faces, making meaningful connections, and contributing to the well-being of the Upstate community.

She has always been drawn to young children and felt called to open her home to the youngest, “least of these” in her community through foster care. Stephanie has been a foster parent for over 6 years and now adds adoptive mom to her list of titles. It is very rare to find Stephanie without at least one little one in tow.

Although, the sound of children’s giggles is a familiar and welcomed sound inStephanie’s home, her favorite sound is of the frogs, at night, down by the creek on her family farm.
