Dr. Karen Mills was born and raised in Groves, Texas, just two hours from Hemphill. Her interest in helping those with hearing loss began at an early age when she befriended childhood neighbors who were profoundly deaf. She initially went to school intending to go into deaf education, but she found that audiology was a better fit for her. She graduated from Lamar University with a bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders in 1983 and her master’s in Audiology in 1987. She obtained her Doctor of Audiology degree from A.T. Still University in 2004. After she earned her master’s, she worked at private ear-nose-throat clinics and hospital clinics. Dr. Mills is proud to be a member actively involved in the Hemphill community. She serves as Vice President of the Sabine County Chamber of Commerce, she is on the Board for the Great East Texas Outdoor Fest, and she participates in the Sabine County Economic Development Advisory Counsel. She is also an active member of the Hemphill Lion’s Club. Dr. Mills comes from a military family (her father was in the Army and her grandfather was in the Navy), and she’s very proud to be part of the Veterans’ Choice program and provide hearing services to veterans around the area.
