Dr. Melissa Segev

Dr. Melissa Segev is the co-owner of Audiology Associates, where she upholds the practice’s long-standing commitment to providing exceptional, patient-centered hearing healthcare. She believes that effective treatment begins with advanced diagnostic tools and treatments, paired with careful listening and a deep understanding of each patient’s unique concerns and goals.

A Baltimore native, Dr. Segev graduated from Owings Mills High School and earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Towson State University and her Doctor of Audiology degree (Au.D.) from the University of Pittsburgh. From a young age, she was drawn to the field of audiology, inspired by Dr. Craig Johnson, a pioneer in the field of audiology, and developed a deep-rooted passion for advancing hearing and balance healthcare.

Dr. Segev co-leads Audiology Associates with her trusted colleague, Dr. Briana Holtan. Together, they have cultivated a compassion-driven and patient-focused practice grounded in clinical excellence and professional integrity. Under her leadership, the practice has expanded to multiple locations, reflecting her commitment to meeting the growing needs of the communities she serves.

Dr. Segev provides care for patients of all ages, from newborns to older adults, offering comprehensive evaluations for hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance disorders. She specializes in advanced hearing aid technology, tailoring solutions to meet each patient’s lifestyle, preferences, and budget.  For over two decades, Dr. Segev has remained committed to improving her patients’ quality of life through better hearing. She finds her greatest reward in hearing how treatment allows her patients to fully enjoy life—whether connecting with loved ones, dining out, or attending a concert or play.

Beyond her clinical practice, Dr. Segev is a dedicated advocate for improving access to hearing healthcare. She serves on the board of the Maryland Academy of Audiology (MAA) as a member-at-large, is a past three-term President, and has chaired the organization’s annual convention. She also mentors aspiring audiologists, helping guide the next generation of professionals.

In 2024, Dr. Segev, alongside Dr. Holtan and the MAA legislative team, helped lead a trailblazing legislative initiative in Maryland. She played a key role in delivering testimony and garnering bipartisan support. The bill’s passage positioned Maryland as the first state to authorize audiologists to order cultures, bloodwork, and radiographic imaging for auditory and vestibular condition.  It also marked a major step forward in professional autonomy and improving patient access to timely, comprehensive care.

Outside of work, Dr. Segev enjoys spending time with her husband, their two sons, and their miniature Goldendoodle. She loves reading, shopping, hiking with her family, and listening to her favorite band, Air Supply.  She is committed to giving back to her community at every level. She has supported local restaurants by organizing food truck events throughout nearby neighborhoods during challenging times and currently serves on the Board of Directors for The Summit School.
