Work

Justin Tourtillott has been with Hearing Doctors of Kansas since 2003, joining the practice after earning his degree in audiology. Like his partners, Tourtillott uncovered his own career path by watching a family member in the field.

“I have an older brother who is an audiologist, and that’s kind of what got me into it — that and the desire to work in the health care field.”

When it came time to choose a practice, Tourtillott picked Hearing Doctors because of “everybody’s dedication — coming early, staying late, and taking an ownership of the practice.”

Life

Born and raised in Fort Scott, Kan., Tourtillott moved to Lawrence for his undergraduate education, and loved it so much he decided it was the ideal place to put down roots. There, he’s active with the local Big Brothers Big Sisters, and regularly cheers on the Jayhawks at KU sporting events (while testing the patience of his business partners and collegiate rivals).

Tourtillott and his wife, Vanessa, a cosmetologist, welcomed a son in early 2009. Though he spends the bulk of his free time with his family, Tourtillott occasionally steals away to hit the fairways…and supplement his newly minted sleeping schedule (he is a first-time parent, after all).
