At Coastal Hearing Center, Karen Slater has served some hearing impaired families for more than 30 years.
She grew up in Gulfport and has worked at the same practice since 1991. “Hearing is a sense that most people take for granted,” she says. “When it is lost, it can severely affect communication with others. I enjoy helping people regain the ability to fully engage with their loved ones.”
