MEET THE TEAM

Dr. Lori began her professional career forty years ago as a staff audiologist then audiology supervisor at the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals where she helped establish the first hospital hearing aid dispensing program in Richmond. In 1992, Dr. Lori left MCV for Sheltering Arms Rehabilitation Hospital and later worked at Maico Hearing Aid Service.

In 2003, Dr. Lori turned a life long dream into reality with the establishment of our company, Hear Virginia LLC. Dr. Lori’s extensive expertise in hearing technology, rehabilitation, and demonstrated commitment to optimal patient-centered care provide a solid foundation to find practical solutions to improve hearing–and quality of life.

Dr. Lori also provides voluntary Audiology services in the greater Richmond area as well as being part of “remote area medical” teams that travel to Appalachia and Southwest Virginia. She lives in western Henrico County where she spends much of her free time planning, sewing , and completing quilts—including many of the quilts displayed in our office.

Drucella is passionate about helping individuals reconnect with the world around them and believes that better hearing leads to a better quality of life. She finds great fulfillment in guiding patients through their hearing journey and providing personalized solutions that support both communication and confidence.

Outside of the office, Drucella enjoys spending quality time with her family, practicing yoga, and traveling. Her compassionate approach, combined with her professional expertise, allows her to deliver patient-centered care while building meaningful, lasting relationships with those she serves.
