For example, one of the most common reasons for hearing loss is damage to the miniature, sensitive hair cells that line the inner ear

I am the daughter of this client of yours and I would like to inform you of my mother’s death on May 5, 2011. It is because of your services and your hearing aids that my mother’s last 2 years were so much better. When she came to live with us I found her to becoming withdrawn. I ascertained it was due to her hearing loss. I prayed for what company for hearing aids to go when I got your advertisement and felt I was led to you. We went to your office on Med Court and was serviced by a wonderful person, Dennis Hackney, who took patient time with my mother to test her and determine which hearing aids were better for her. We purchased them and I told Dennis it was more important to us to have good service than anything else. From then on he made home visits making sure my mother had…Genie Benavides
The main reason that I am writing this letter is to emphasize his work with hearing aids. He is an excellent technician when it comes to fitting hearing aids and there is no doubt in my mind that he is one of the best. One of the reasons that I can say that is because he actually fitted me and I ended up with a programmable unit in both ears and have been delighted with the service, etc. Larry insists that his patients have good follow up and there is never any squabble about it’s going to be fixed right or they will have to know why. Just to add a personal note – Larry is well thought of in the community. He is married and happily so. He does not have any bad habits that would affect him in any way. I would recommend Larry as your hearing aid specialist without any problem and know…Charles T. Meadows, M.D.
My name is Steve. I have lived with single-sided deafness (SSD) for nearly 50 years. I heard about a hearing aid system called the Phonak CROS that could help me overcome the challenges of SSD. Fortunately for me, I found the New Braunfels Hearing Center. Within a short time, I was fitted with Phonak hearing aids and life began to change immediately! For the first time, I could clearly hear people talking on my deaf side. I began to hear crisply a variety of sounds that were previously muffled. My confidence has grown when participating in group conversations, using the telephone, attending meetings and other social functions because I can now hear what people are saying regardless of their position to me. My self-esteem has improved dramatically because I can engage others to…Steve
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Taylor, My two year old little girl, Ellie, has a permanent, bilateral hearing loss, which was diagnosed at birth. In April of 2010, it was time for my husband and I to purchase hearing aids for Ellie.Thus, I began to call every hearing center & audiologist in the San Antonio & Boerne area listed on the internet. After making over 20 phone calls, I was blessed to find the SA Hearing Center off Judson Road. A very helpful lady, Maudi, patiently listened to what my (Ellie’s) needs were and told me a gentleman named Dennis would be calling me back to see if he could possibly help me find hearing aids for Ellie. I was beyond thrilled to hear this!! Dennis returned my call within 24 hours and explained to me that he has never dealt with pediatrics, but would be happy to meet…Tiffany Gold
