Our Staff

Karl Benson, HIS

Owner, Hearing Instrument Specialist

Karl started working at Hutch Hearing in 2006. Since then, he has enjoyed seeing dramatic changes in technology advancements in the hearing healthcare industry. However, what he finds most satisfying about his job is when technology proves to meet an important need and change the life of a patient.

“The most rewarding part of working in this field is having the honor of helping someone with such a personal part of their life that makes a difference in their everyday living. I love seeing that smile on their face when they come into the office for their first follow-up appointment. The two comments I hear the most from new patients are: ‘I didn’t realize how much I was missing’ and ‘I wish I would have done this years ago.’”

Karl and his wife have three children and live in rural Hutchinson. When not at work, he spends most of his time with his family and ministries at the church he attends. Karl enjoys playing soccer and tennis, as well as raising ducks on his “farm.”

Pam Pulkrabek

Office Manager

Pam joined Hutch Hearing in 2012 as our Patient Care Coordinator. Pam’s love for people is evident as soon as someone walks through our door. Having grown up in Hutchinson, she has the ability to make a connection with all of our patients so that they feel like a part of the family when visiting our office for help.

“It’s a satisfying feeling to be able to eliminate a problem for a patient with some maintenance or simple in-office repair. One of the best parts of my job is the people I get to know!”

“I’ve been a resident of Hutchinson almost my entire life. With eight grandchildren here, I love to attend as many of their activities as possible. I’m also involved at my church, and if there is any time left, my sewing room is my happy place.”
