Merit Hearing - North Palm Beach

Dr. Shelby Matthews earned her Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Mississippi in 2018. Her interest in audiology began during her time as an undergraduate assistant at the University of Mississippi Hearing and Speech Center, where she supported the Hearing Impaired Language and Literacy Program. This role focused on helping children with moderate to severe language disorders, hearing loss, and developmental disabilities develop language and literacy skills. It was during this experience that Dr. Matthews discovered her passion for improving communication and language access for individuals of all ages.

She went on to earn her Doctorate of Audiology from Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., and completed her clinical residency at Duke University Medical Center in 2021, gaining experience with both pediatric and adult populations.

Today, Dr. Matthews provides audiology services to patients of all ages, with a continued special interest in pediatric care. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their pug, Ellie, and caring for her extensive collection of houseplants.
