Melissa Karp, M.S., CCC-A/SLP is an experienced audiologist and speech-language pathologist specializing in the evaluation and treatment of Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). She earned her Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences from Indiana University and her Master of Science in Communication Sciences from Hunter College. She also served as an adjunct faculty member in Hunter College’s Department of Communication Sciences, where she completed her graduate studies.

Throughout her years of clinical practice, Melissa saw many individuals who struggled not only with hearing, but with how the brain processes what they hear. This inspired her to expand her knowledge and training in auditory processing, and she is excited to bring her experience to ListenHEAR. Melissa was inspired to become an audiologist after seeing the positive effects that hearing aids and aural rehabilitation had on her grandmother.

Melissa holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and maintains audiology and speech-language pathology licenses in New York and Florida, with plans to pursue additional state licenses. She is also a yoga teacher and enjoys exploring the connections between movement, sound, and the brain. Melissa is a proud mom of two young adult daughters.
