Hearing Aid Fitting

At Hearing Aid Company of Texas, we love to reconnect our patients with the world around them. We fit all major brand of hearing aids and are proficient in programming for any loss. We understand that better hearing is a process, not a one-time appointment so we are committed to taking you through the process from the start, educating you and your loved ones from the first appointment. Need help afterwards? We expect that and are available to assist you, no matter how long you have had your hearing aids or where you purchased them from.

Hearing Aid Brands

There are many different hearing aid brands, but the main ones are Starkey, Resound, Oticon, Phonak, Unitron, Widex, and Signia. No matter your preference we carry them all. We won’t say one is better than the other, but they all bring something different to the table in terms of features and how they process sound. Once we complete your evaluation and consultation, we will make a recommendation on which brand we think is most appropriate for your hearing loss.

Ear Protection

It’s never too late to protect you hearing, because once you lose it you can never get it back. We make custom hearing protection for any situation including solid ear plugs, electronic shooters plugs and swimmers plugs. We also make custom ear pieces for any type of headset, including broadcasting, pilot headsets and 2- way radio headsets.

Hearing Aid Styles

The style of a hearing aid refers to its physical appearance and design. Hearing aids come in various shapes and sizes, tailored to the type and severity of hearing loss, the anatomy of the wearer’s ear, and personal preferences. After completing a hearing test, we can recommend the most suitable style for your specific needs and lifestyle. Below are explanations of different hearing aid styles and the types of hearing loss they address.

John was very fast and kind, making sure I was comfortable the whole time. Alyssia and Monica were also very kind and accommodating when I needed to bring my baby and even assured me I could bring my other 2 if I needed. My blockage is gone and my hearing is great! Thank you all so much!

If you are having difficulty with your hearing as do I, then you should consider having hearing aids and there is absolutely no better place for you to go than Hearing Aid Company of Texas on Holly Road. Jon Hoffmann is friendly and experienced and will definitely help you. His staff consisting of Alyshia at the front desk and Monica are extremely helpful, friendly and welcoming. This is truly a family business that makes you feel as though you are part of the family. And needless to say being able to hear is so important to daily living.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have hearing questions? Hearing Aid Company of Texas has the answers!

Hearing Aids vs OTC amplifiers

Hearing loss is very individualized, and so are hearing aids. OTC are simply amplifiers- they make everything louder. Hearing aids are not a one size fits all solution. At Haering Aid Co of Texas, we take into account not just your audiogram, but also your perception of sound. Two people could have the exact same audiogram but a totally different perception of sound. Our providers are trained to ask the right questions and make personalized adjustments to your devices, ensuring your comfort in all your unique hearing environments.

How do I read my audiogram?

An audiogram will identify where you can hear the lowest level of sound at each ear and each pitch or frequency. The further down the page your marks are, the worse your hearing loss. Have questions on your audiogram? We will explain it to you at no charge, no matter where the test was performed.

Do you take my insurance?

We are in network with almost all major insurance companies as well as workers compensation. When you come in for your free consultation, we will verify your benefits. We will also file your claim for your hearing aids on your behalf.

Can my hearing aids be reprogrammed to my new audiogram?

We can reprogram most hearing aids to your newest audiogram yearly to make sure you’re hearing to the best of your abilities, even if you didn’t purchase them from us. We recommend having your hearing tested and your aids reset yearly for the best hearing possible.

Can I connect my hearing aid to my phone?

Almost every hearing aid on the market has the ability to connect to your smart phone. Every phone is different though, so we recommend talking to your provider about your specific phone and Bluetooth needs before you pick your hearing aids. If you having trouble connecting, just give us a call. We will make you a 15 minute appointment to help you connect and show you how to do it yourself if any issues arise.

How often should I have my hearing tested?

We recommend having your hearing screened yearly.

How often should I have my hearing aid cleaned?

We recommend coming in once every 6 months for a good cleaning to ensure your devices are working to the best of their abilities.
