Melanie Putman, AuD
Audiologist
My specialties:
- Audiology
Professional interests:
- Adult and pediatric hearing evaluations

Practice philosophy: Everyone has a right to individualized, compassionate care and intervention that will help maximize their ability to communicate and fully participate in the world.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I went to a Deaf and Hard of Hearing school growing up, but I knew audiology was right for me after conducting research on how musicians process music in the brain during college.
