Courtney Matyja
Arkansas Hearing and Audiology / Audiologist
Courtney is an audiologist at Arkansas Hearing and Audiology
in Conway. She is married to Shay, who recently retired
from the Arkansas Army National Guard. The couple has
five children: Luke, Brayden, Laney, Noah, and Chloey. “We enjoy
being outdoors, so when we are not home, we are at the ballfields,
hanging out on the lake, or at the cheer gym,” she says.
Courtney is originally from Marshall but has called
Faulkner County home for over 30 years. She
earned her Bachelor of Speech Pathology and
Audiology, and her Bachelor of Science from the
University of Arkansas Little Rock. Her Master’s
Degree in Audiology is from the University
of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. “After
practicing for a couple of years, I decided to
go back to college and received my Doctor of
Audiology from the University of Florida.”
Starting her practice here made logical sense,
since she lived here and wanted to raise
her family in Faulkner County. Courtney is
involved locally, saying, “I serve on the Junior
Auxiliary of Conway and will be finishing
out my term as a member this year. I have
really enjoyed working with an amazing
group of ladies working to help the
youth of Faulkner County.”
Professionally, she is involved as
past president for the Arkansas
Academy of Audiology. “I am also
a member of several national
organizations, but I feel being
involved in your state organization
is so important,” she
says. Arkansas Hearing and
Audiology is located at
2515 College Avenue in
Conway.
