For the team at Coastal Hearing Center, bringing the sounds of everyday life back to a person who has lost their normal hearing ability is the most rewarding aspect of their careers.
“Good hearing connects you to people
and helps communication,” says Dr. Karen Slater. Unfortunately, that quality of life
can diminish over time. “To witness the transformation from isolation to reconnecting with the sounds of life is so gratifying.” Slater loves seeing a patient’s quality of life improve
by helping to provide the latest state-of-the- art technology that gives them the capability to hear their loved ones.
Slater has been serving the Gulf Coast
for more than 36 years. She grew a small business into a large practice, now with locations spanning from Pass Christian to Pascagoula. “Our team of seven audiologists bring unique testing to all ages not provided by any other facility on the Coast.”
What many might not realize, however, is that Audiologists at Coastal Hearing Center
do much more than sell hearing aids. They offer services to diagnose specific types of hearing loss to see if it can be treated by a physician first.
“We also offer various types of hearing protection for industrial workers, hunters, and musicians,” says Slater. “If the only option
to restore better hearing is a hearing aid, we then fit appropriately and provide continued care throughout the life of the hearing aid to assure optimal benefit.”
