Albrecht Audiological Services – State College

Dr. Boddorf earned her undergraduate and master’s degrees in communication disorders from Penn State and her Au.D. in audiology from Salus University. An audiologist in Lock Haven prior to joining us, Dr. Boddorf prioritizes being up to date on the most advanced technology and employing best practices in helping Albrecht Audiology patients achieve their hearing goals. Hailing from Punxsutawney, the rest of us in the office think she is a better representative of that fine community than Phil himself!

Sandy’s experience includes 29 years in Hearing Healthcare. Before joining the Albrecht Audiology family, she managed an audiology office in Altoona. In addition to her office management role, including the complex job of dealing with insurance companies, she’s well on her way to becoming a hearing aid dispenser, already involved in the maintenance of hearing instruments and assisting in educating patients about their hearing aids. She is the person you will probably see if you come in with a problem with one of your instruments. She enjoys spending time with her husband and her two young grandchildren.

Born and raised in Happy Valley, Alyssa Johns graduated from State College Area High School in 2015 and went on to work in assisted living for many years before joining Albrecht Audiology in 2024. In her role as patient care coordinator, she’s often the first point of contact as individuals start their healthy-hearing journey. Alyssa values building lasting connections and supporting patients on their path to better health, empowered communication, and an improved quality of life. She still keeps in touch with many of the assisted-living residents she’s met over her career. Outside the office, Alyssa enjoys taking long walks, caring for her plants, and spending time with friends and family.
