Meg Kalady, Au.D.

Audiologist | Dr. Cliff Approved Provider

I’m Dr. Meg Kalady, originally from the Philadelphia suburbs and I have been practicing audiology for the last 37 years (I was a child prodigy 😉). I completed my undergraduate and graduate degrees at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania and received my doctorate in audiology in 2012 from AT Still University. My memberships and continuing education include:

  • Board Certified in Audiology by the American Board of Audiology
  • American Board of Audiology Certificate Holder in Tinnitus Management
  • Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology
  • Member of the Academy of Doctors of Audiology
  • Certificate Holder in Tinnitus Retraining Therapy for Management of Tinnitus & Decreased Sound Tolerance from the Jastreboff Hearing Disorders Foundation, Inc
  • Member of the South Carolina Academy of Audiology
  • South Carolina Licensure in Audiology
  • Dr. Cliff Au.D./Hearing Up Approved Provider.

I traveled to China three times, adding to our family through adoption. While preparing for the trips, our family did manage to learn (we thought) some of the language. We quickly learned that we were wholly dependent on our guides and translators for communication. I experienced that feeling of isolation from being unable to understand what others were saying, and misunderstandings arose.

Even though we prepared, we still experienced strain, feelings of inadequacy, and even anger because of not ‘hearing’ or understanding what others around us were saying. This has stayed with me as I counsel patients about the emotional aspects of living with hearing impairment, and it reinforces my desire to provide the best solutions for my patients’ communication needs.

My family relocated to Beaufort in 2016 to realize my dream of having my own private practice, where I get to practice audiology the way it should be.  There is TIME… to get to know my patients, and discover what their individual needs are, and address those needs for successful outcomes through BEST PRACTICES.

I so appreciate my family for believing in my dream and making the big move to South Carolina without complaint…(okay, truth be told, the eighth grader at the time had A LOT to say about it), my husband, Mark, and daughters Molly (HOOYAH!) Madelyn (LET'S GO OWLS!!), and Maeve (GO TIGERS!). And now a son in law Danny (HOOYAH!), and my heart, my grandson Romeo.

Bridget Staggs

Office Manager

Hey! My name is Bridget and I’m an Office Administrator, “helping others live their best life”.

I enjoy listening to people and their stories, learning how to help as I go and leaving with genuine joy that I got to serve them. “Listening is an art that requires attention over talent, spirit over ego, others over self.”

I spent 20 years in various roles, stores and states with CVS Pharmacy.  Finishing that chapter, I took 3 years to regroup and find a new challenge which led me to SC State Credit Union as a Floating Teller/Loan Officer for the next 1.5 years.

I have landed here in Beaufort due to my husband taking the Pharmacist position at Beaufort Pharmacy and Compounding.  I’m an avid reader, an aspiring cook, a gym-goer, a health enthusiast and any time outdoors will be the best part of my day.  We are enjoying the beauty of the low country!

Dr. Kalady is amazing! I have been wearing hearing aids for 12 years (since my late 50's) and I have never had such an extensive, thorough examination. In addition to being very professional she is also a very good listener. She "hears" your problems and strives to find the very best fit for your hearing needs. It is amazing the adjustments she can make that improve my hearing and give me confidence. I had resigned myself to accepting that my hearing would be a handicap in social situations, missing a lot of what was being said and unable to be a part of the conversations. With her help I can now be a participant again! I highly recommend Kalady Audiology. She's a gem!

I have had diminished hearing for several years, but was unable to get a satisfactory answer about improving it. My GP recommended Kalady Audiology to me.  Dr. Kalady  did a thorough job of testing my hearing and spent a more than adequate amount of time to explain the various options. I have been using the hearing aids  for several months now and I have found that,  not only is my hearing better, but I no longer have to "drop out" of conversations because I don't want to constantly interrupt and ask for someone to repeat everything. An  excellent experience at the office and definitely a better quality of life.   I highly recommend her.

I’m so glad I used Kalady Audiology for my hearing needs. Dr. Kalady's ability to be fully aware of what my needs were made me feel comfortable through the whole process. Another very important point I’d like to make is that she uses “Best practices” to fit hearing aids. Whoever is reading this please google “best practices” for fitting of hearing aids. Dr. Kalady is the only audiologist I was able to find who does this. It’s extremely important in my opinion. Thank you so much Dr. Kalady. I’m so glad I used your services!!

I am completely stunned by how well I can hear with my new hearing aids. I never thought I would ever hear this well. I can hear clearly everything that is said on TV [men or women] and at a very low volume. My wife is absolutely thrilled with my ability to hear her and the low volume on the TV. My sports car has a totally different sound than it had with my old aids. My old aids made everything sound loud, but it was hard to understand what was being said. Dr. Kalady is the best!
