Cindy Marino-Barnett

For Cindy Marino Barnett, hearing healthcare isn’t just a profession—it is a family legacy. As a third-generation specialist, Cindy carries the torch lit by her grandfather, Albert Marino, who founded the company in 1947, and her father, Michael Marino, who expanded our reach in 1973.

Cindy knows the patient experience inside and out because she has lived it. She began her career answering phones as a receptionist, working her way up through every level of the company to become Vice President.

Today, Cindy holds a unique dual role. As Vice President, she oversees the clinical training for all 33 locations, ensuring every specialist meets the high standards of care the Marino family established 75 years ago. However, her passion remains in the clinic. Cindy continues to actively see patients at our St. Charles location, staying grounded in the life-changing work of restoring hearing.

“I view my role as a guardian of our standard of care,” says Cindy. “Because I still work directly with patients, I know exactly what challenges they face. I use that experience to train our staff, ensuring that whether you visit us in St. Charles or any of our other clinics, you are treated like family, not a number.”
