Melissa Miller,
HIS
Hearing Instrument Specialist
My journey in Audiology began in the basement of our home, where my father ran a hearing aid manufacturing company. For five years, I helped with various tasks in manufacturing. Eventually, I realized my true calling was working directly with patients. Since then, I’ve been dispensing hearing aids and helping people hear for over 30 years, a path deeply rooted in our family business.
Outside of my professional life, I’m obsessed with my grandchildren and family. They are my world and bring immense joy to my life.
For fun, I indulge in shopping, vacationing, and fishing. These activities allow me to unwind and enjoy life to the fullest.
As for what makes me unique, my kids would say it’s my habit of mispronouncing words, using made-up words, and talking too much. I embrace these quirks as they make me who I am.

My passion for audiology stems from a personal experience. When my dad was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease, I witnessed firsthand the challenges of communication difficulties. Inspired by his journey, I pursued a career in audiology to help others navigate similar struggles.
While I’m dedicated to my patients, my heart also belongs to my pet bunny, Henry, who brings me endless joy.
In my free time, I find enjoyment in baking and tackling DIY projects, both activities that allow me to express my creativity.
An interesting fact: I hail from the great state of Texas! While I may not be a huge fan of the colder weather here, I certainly appreciate the lighter traffic compared to my hometown.
