Katy Mawson, AuD

Katy Mawson was raised in Nevada, but always loved the Pacific Northwest. When choosing her
first post-grad job, she knew that the Portland area was where she wanted to be. In private
practice since 2018, Katy has dedicated her time to treating each patient with gold-standard
care and evidence-based practice.
In May 2014, Katy graduated with honors from the University of Nevada, Reno with her
Bachelor of Science degree in Speech Pathology. She completed her Doctorate of Audiology
degree at Idaho State University in 2018. Katy maintains her Certificate of Clinical Competence
from the America Speech-Language and Hearing Association. She is a Fellow of the American
Academy of Audiology. Katy’s passion for audiology and her patients extends to her free time,
where she volunteers and serves as the President for the Oregon Academy of Audiology. She
loves engaging her patients and their families in her treatment plans and she is passionate
about serving her community.
The most popular question she receives is “what made you choose audiology?” And to that, she
will tell you about her oldest nephew, who was born with a congenital hearing loss. Katy herself
wears hearing aids, which helps her empathize with her patients and engage in creative
problem solving when issues come up.
In her free time, she volunteers, enjoys reading and baking, and cares for a wide variety of
house plants that she began collecting during the pandemic lockdown. She loves sharing her
experiences with her patients and connecting with them on a deeper level to ensure excellent
hearing healthcare outcomes.
