Raechelle Martin

Hearing Instrument Specialist

Raechelle Martin spent much of her early life growing up in Lena, Illinois where she raised her daughter, Kali, who is attending Indiana State University. She spent most of her early career in the insurance industry as a licensed insurance agent in Illinois. She then transitioned into a role in marketing, and later into the healthcare field with HearingLife. Raechelle has been with us for 3 years and has transitioned to the role of Hearing Instrument Specialist. She finds seeing customers' reaction to hearing with aids for the first time to be the most rewarding part of her job. She found an interest in hearing healthcare when she realized how many people were struggling and how many are still unaware of the effects of untreated hearing loss. Raechelle has a passion for helping others and is excited to help patients along their journey.

Outside of the office, Raechelle enjoys going to flea markets, antiquing, renovating old furniture, women’s sports, and traveling.
