Catherine grew up knowing she wanted to help people solve their hearing problems. Both her grandfather and grandmother Bieri were hearing impaired. Her grandmother was also blind, and by 10 years old, Cathy could communicate by finger spelling in her grandmother's hand. Her father, Gottlieb Bieri, was a pioneer in providing new technology in hearing improvement.

Cathy earned her B.A. in speech and audiology at Michigan State, an MSC in speech pathology at Auburn University and an M.A. in audiology at Central Michigan University. Cathy embarked on a career in the field of audiology and speech pathology by taking advantage of the opportunity to work with her father at Bieri Hearing Services.
