One of my hearing aids had stopped working, so we went to the office to see what could be done. They were able to get it working again without having to return it to the maker. The only confusion was with checking in because of COVID-19. A sign at the door requested you to text your presence, and wait for a response. After waiting what we thought was a suitable time, my wife went in with the failed unit; and it was the repaired. Later I discovered a text asking us to call if there is had been no response to the text. I'm not sure what happened here. -

I just finished a remote session with Mendy Engler in Marble Falls. She is a keeper! I was getting muddy voice quality and was raising the volume a couple of clicks trying to compensate. That wasn’t helping much and also was creating other issues. Mendy got me connected via the My Phonak App. She was very patient (I am totally non-techie). She reset the aids for better clarity. Mendy gets an A+ on this one! -

Estes Audiology has taken care of my hearing issues for over a year. Not only is the staff professional they’re compassionate. I feel like they take a personal interest in me to be sure I get the best care possible. They worked which my insurance provider to get the best hearing aids available, now I hear clearly and I don’t want to go a moment without them. -
Rebecca Hill
Estes Audiology is great! Very professional yet friendly and caring. I was impressed with the hearing testing process. I have my new hearing aides and they are super. I'm getting better at putting them in and I have very little problem wearing them. Only some minor itching. Thank you all at Estes! Good job!

Additional clinic details
Evaluation and Treatment for Veterans
Audiologists at our Estes Audiology clinic are contracted with the VA to serve veterans in our community through comprehensive evaluations and affordable care. Schedule an appointment Insurance Counseling Many newer insurance plans have a benefit that covers at least a portion of the cost of hearing aids but understanding what your current medical plan covers can be confusing. That's why we have insurance specialists on-staff who are happy to verify your benefits and take the time to explain them to you.
Custom hearing protection
At Estes Audiology, we specialize in providing custom hearing protection for hunters, musicians, and anyone whose hobby, lifestyle, or work exposes them to loud noises. We also specialize in state of the art hearing technology for those that suffer from noise-induced hearing loss.
Pediatrics
Children and teens require a different approach when it comes to evaluation and treatment. Our Audiologists are well-versed not only in amplification options for those under 18 but also in classroom needs such as FM systems and IDEA requirements.

Frequently asked questions
How do I properly insert my hearing protection devices?
Some hearing protection devices are marked red (right) and blue (left). If they are not marked, they are not side specific.
For custom products: Slide the thinner side into your ear canal and twist the plug until it fits comfortably in the ear. Pull up from the top of the ear, to straighten the ear canal, as you push the ear mold into the ear.
For non-custom products: Slide the thinner side into your ear canal and pull up from the top of the ear, to straighten the ear canal, as you push the ear plug into the ear. If you are using a foam plug, tightly squeeze and roll it before putting in the ear canal.
How is custom hearing protection different from non-custom hearing protection?
Custom hearing protection is modeled after an impression taken of the ear. This will provide the best and most comfortable fit in the ear, which will eliminate ear pain or soreness that can occur with non-custom products. Custom hearing protection also provides a tight seal in the ear that prevents the unwanted high-level noise to leak into the ear.
When should I use hearing protection?
Hearing protection should be used any time you are participating in a high-noise recreational activity or job. Some of these include: hunting, music industry, motor sports, construction, etc. Noise-induced hearing loss can occur from exposure to noise over time, as well as exposure to one intensely loud, brief event. The louder the sound, the less time it takes to cause damage. If you experience ringing in your ears or temporary hearing loss in your ears after a high noise event, the environment was too loud and could cause damage.
