Bio Elizabeth Montgomery was born and raised in New Orleans. She received both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. The summer prior to completing her Master's degree, she interned at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. Upon completion of her internship, she was offered a Clinical Audiologist position with Kennedy Krieger Institute once she achieved her Master's Degree.

After completing her Master's degree, she successfully attained her Certificate of Clinical Competence while at Kennedy Krieger Institute. During her time there she conducted examinations commensurate with comprehensive Diagnostic Audiology such as Audiological Evaluations, Auditory Brainstem Response Evaluations, Hearing Aid Assessments and Management. She was also involved in treating patients via Aural Habilitation. The patient population at Kennedy Krieger Institute consisted of conventional children to ones with multiple involvements. Miss Montgomery also served on several Committees such as the Continuing Education Committee and provided in-services to fellow professionals and para-professionals. She was the Audiologist for the Interdisciplinary team of the Neurodevelopmental and Down Syndrome Clinics. She also conducted newborn hearing screenings in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital. She was the coordinator of the Audiologic Screenings for the Lead Poisoning Prevention clinic.

In 1995, she returned to New Orleans and began providing Diagnostic Audiologic services at the Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans (Charity Hospital). There she provided assessments for all ages with diverse medical histories and various head traumas. She provided instruction to the Otolaryngology residents, medical students and related medical fields on the science and practice of Audiology. During this time she also provided diagnostic Audiologic Assessments at LSU Health Sciences Center (HSC).

In 2001, she focused her attention solely on LSUHSC. With a team of exceptional Audiologists, led by Dr. Charles Berlin, she provided comprehensive diagnostic assessment of hearing including Audiologic Evaluations, Auditory Brainstem Response Testing and Vestibular Assessments with Electronystamography. She also worked with her fellow Audiologists in initiating a Newborn Hearing Screening Service for University Hospital with comprehensive follow-up. She continues to provide diagnostic Audiologic Assessments and Hearing Aid Measurements and Management. Miss Montgomery works with several service organizations to provide hearing aids to individuals who need financial assistance.

She has co-authored a paper with Dr. Berlin, et al entitled: Absent or Elevated Middle Ear Muscle Reflexes in the Presence of Normal OtoAcoustic Emissions: A Finding in 136 cases of Auditory Neuropathy/ Dys-Synchrony which was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Audiology in 2005.
