Dr. Amornpongchai is a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology and a member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Dr. Amornpongchai's main goal as an audiologist is to improve the quality of life for children and adults with all degrees of hearing loss and to help patients reconnect with those they love through better hearing.  

In 2014, Dr. Amornpongchai pursued her passion for humanitarian outreach by launching Microtone Audiology's "Hearing Heart" project.
