Hear from our patients about their experience with Clarity Hearing

“They understood this was new ground for me and were honest and straightforward in helping me learn what I needed.”

I began to notice that I was really tired after being around groups of people. After a bit, individual words were hard to understand, which led to me not hearing what certain people said. My work required me to hear and respond helpfully to everyone! I was in trouble!

I really didn’t know what to expect. My wife encouraged me to go to Clarity Hearing since she had experience with the team. When I arrived, I was shocked. Dr. Marquardt spent a great deal of time with me. He talked with me about my work, asked about specific aspects of my hearing that I had not even considered, and tested my hearing only after thoroughly understanding what I was experiencing. It had not occurred to me that a professional would spend that much time getting to know me and my situation before taking action. I left that first encounter feeling like I had a new, trusted friend.

Once my new hearing aids arrived and were adjusted, I started wearing them immediately. After my first big day at work with the hearing aids, I went home and realized I was not exhausted. I had not been struggling to understand words. I was able to hear people whose words I had been missing.

The Clarity Hearing team is made up of kind and caring professionals. They treated me with respectful professionalism. They understood this was new ground for me and were honest and straightforward in helping me learn what I needed.

I no longer live near a Clarity Hearing office, But I have learned a phone call or an email gets an immediate response, and that they are still available to help me when I need them.

“Don’t trust some internet vendor to get your fit close; they won't provide the comfort you need to tackle the inevitable challenges.”

The moment I realized something was wrong with my ears was when I found I could not understand what was being said during important conversations that others standing right next to me could understand. I had worn hearing aids for years; I simply needed to find a compassionate group of audiologists who were interested in working with me to either fix my existing hearing aids or fit me with a new pair.

The doctors were very professional, ready to work with my established history of hearing aid usage and to address my current needs. Since then, Dr. Miller has introduced me to new hearing aids that improved on my previous models.

When you are ready to take the time to give hearing aids the work it takes to make them really fit your life, Clarity has the doctors that will do just that – help you work through the challenges of meeting the hearing challenges that you face. Don’t trust some internet vendor to get your fit close; they won’t provide the comfort you need to tackle the inevitable challenges.

“Life is less frustrating than before.”

I began to have difficulty hearing in situations where multiple people were talking at the same time. Initially, I had some concerns about contacting the clinic, mainly because I didn’t want to have something uncomfortable in my ears. My first impression of Clarity Hearing was that the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Life is less frustrating than before. I can adjust them to suit a variety of conditions; I don’t have to ask people to repeat themselves as often. I don’t think you can find a more helpful, friendly, qualified staff. They will continue to work with you to make sure your aids work well for you.

“They can help you so much.”

I first realized that something was up with my ears when I was just eight years old. Fortunately, I didn’t have any preconceived fears or concerns before contacting the clinic because I have always trusted hearing doctors. Initially, I thought, “Just another doctor, great,” but I was completely wrong!

Since I’ve been wearing hearing aids since I was eight, they have greatly impacted my life. Without them, I wouldn’t have been able to do all the things I have. If you’re concerned about your hearing and are considering a visit, I would recommend you go there and have your hearing tested. They can help you so much.

“I could not function without my hearing aids.”

In college, with a male professor in a huge auditorium class, I could not understand a thing he said. I finally acknowledged that my hearing was not what it should be and realized I needed some help. I actually followed my audiologist to Clarity but was immediately impressed with the professionalism, the facility, and the people at Clarity.

I could not function without my hearing aids. By all means, do yourself a favor and get the help you need, there is no reason to struggle when there are people to help you and make your life so, so much better.

“Clarity Hearing has your best interests in mind and will steer you in the right direction.”

I found myself asking my wife to repeat herself far too often. I couldn’t hear the speaker in conference rooms, restaurants, or even during large gatherings. The organ at our church sounded like a dirge; I couldn’t hear the melody (the high notes). I tried less expensive hearing aids that only amplified the volume. A colleague’s wife, who is an audiologist, recommended Oticon for its ability to connect my hearing aids to my phone, reduce background noise, and focus on directional input.

When I visited Clarity Hearing, the team felt like family. There is no cure, but the Oticon devices I wear afford the best opportunity to engage in meaningful conversation. Clarity Hearing has your best interests in mind and will steer you in the right direction.

“Everyone was friendly and professional. I highly recommend Clarity Hearing.”

I have worn hearing aids for years due to exposure to gunfire and jet engine noise. When I decided to seek help from Clarity, I was tested and fitted with hearing aids. Everyone was friendly and professional. I highly recommend Clarity Hearing.

I wear my hearing aids every day from sunrise to about 10 pm. They are comfortable and tuned to my hearing needs. Most people do not realize I’m wearing them.

“Being able to hear people when they speak without having to rely mostly on lip reading and body language is a godsend.”

I’ve always had hearing loss to some degree, but it became very apparent when I started a new job and couldn’t hear the people I had to help or the people training me to be effective. Before contacting Clarity Hearing, my greatest fear was that getting hearing aids would just amplify everything and make my base hearing even worse. When I visited Clarity Hearing, everyone was very friendly and helpful.

I had no idea how many sounds I hadn’t been hearing for years. Being able to hear people when they speak without having to rely mostly on lip reading and body language is a godsend. If you’re worried, get a hearing test and see. There is no harm in testing to see where your hearing is at and what can be done to help.

“My devices have made a huge difference in my life.”

I noticed my wife frequently complaining that I wasn’t listening to her. I repeatedly denied it until, one night at dinner, I saw her lips moving but couldn’t hear anything! At that point, I realized I needed to do something. The one thing I didn’t want to do was ignore her; she is far too special for that.

I had some concerns. I always associated wearing hearing aids with old age, and I never considered myself old! The expense was also a concern for me because I’d much rather spend my money on fun stuff, not hearing aids. When I walked into their offices, I felt nervous about the process and what the testing would involve. Dr. Marquardt was incredibly calming and explained each step of the process, especially the soundproof booth, which I had only heard about on old quiz shows. It turned out to be fun! I am also a technical person, so I really appreciated and enjoyed the computer aspects of programming the software.

My devices have made a huge difference in my life. For one thing, they connect to my cellphone, so phone calls, music, and webinars are all private—I can listen through my hearing aids without disturbing anyone. I can even listen to music at night while my wife is watching TV, and it doesn’t disturb her. They give me a lot of freedom from being ‘wired.’

For anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit to Clarity Hearing, I would say without hesitation: Go!!! Don’t think twice—just go and experience the difference.

"Go for it! You will be glad you did!"

About twenty years ago, I noticed that during meetings, I needed to sit close to the speaker in order to hear what was going on. It felt like the beginning of my body parts wearing out! Fortunately, I didn’t have any preconceived fears or concerns before contacting Clarity Hearing since I was already acquainted with Dr. Megan Guidrey.

When I arrived, I was really impressed with the up-to-date diagnostic equipment. It’s great to hear what people are saying without needing to ask them to repeat themselves. If you’re concerned about your hearing and considering a visit, I’d say, “Go for it! You will be glad you did!”

“Clarity Hearing will take good care of you.”

When I was in my mid-forties, I found myself having trouble understanding people at work, at home, and especially in noisy situations. I had already been in the office with my husband for his appointment to get his first pair of hearing aids. We were new to TX and I knew I would also need new hearing aids soon. We liked Dr. Katie Miller a lot, so I made an appointment with her.

My hearing aids are the first thing I “put on” each morning; I cannot comfortably function without them. I would say Clarity Hearing will take good care of you. Their testing is very thorough, and they aren’t just trying to sell hearing aids. They care about their patients and want to improve their quality of life. They will work with you to see if the improvement is met.

“Hearing loss can be very dangerous and devastating, but there is help.”

The moment I first realized something was wrong with my ears was in my late forties, and it was very concerning for me, especially knowing that hearing loss runs on both sides of my family, so I felt destined for hearing loss. Before reaching out, I did have some concerns, particularly about the cost of hearing aids and how wearing them might affect my life.

I had heard from a family member that Clarity Hearing did a really good job assisting patients with what they needed. I was so pleased to finally find a practice that could really help me out. The staff are very knowledgeable and gracious.

I have a cochlear implant for my left ear and a hearing aid for my right ear. Clarity Hearing is the only practice that recommended the cochlear implant and I am so grateful. Now, that I can really hear, my world has opened up. My shoulders have finally relaxed! My ability to sing in the church choir has improved, social gatherings aren’t so difficult anymore, and I feel secure. Hearing loss can be very dangerous and devastating, but there is help. Please don’t neglect your hearing loss, regardless of your age.

Clarity Hearing’s knowledgeable staff continues the study of hearing loss and the latest technology. You will be very pleased with their service. Restoring hearing is a journey and they are there every step of the way.

“I'm always worried that my hearing loss will continue to worsen until the day that it's completely gone.”

I was having issues understanding speech, so I had my ears tested and found that I was suffering a 47% loss. It was very scary. I’m always worried that my hearing loss will continue to worsen until the day that it’s completely gone.

My first impressions of the clinic were great. I truly felt like y’all cared and would be a great resource for me. Initially, my first pair of hearing aids were uncomfortable and I hated them. After being able to try several pairs from different manufacturers, I found a set I could be comfortable in all day long. They are a godsend.

“They listened to me and started showing me how I could get a better life.”

I realized I could not hear my wife; it became increasingly hard to communicate with her and others. Before contacting Clarity Hearing, I did feel that I needed help. Upon my first visit, my impressions were verimay good. They listened to me and started showing me how I could get a better life. Since getting hearing aids, the impact has been like day and night—everything has changed for the better. To anyone who is concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would say, do it now; they know what they are doing.

“I feel like I have my life back.”

I had started to think that everyone was mumbling. Fortunately, I did not have any preconceived fears or concerns before reaching out for help. Everyone at Clarity Hearing is absolutely professional. Since I began wearing hearing aids, I feel like I have my life back—I can hear the birds! To anyone who is concerned about their hearing and is considering visiting Clarity Hearing, I would say, “Do it!”

“I could hear the wind and discovered I had so many birds in my area that I had never heard like that before.”

I was born with hearing loss, and I was supposed to be deaf by age 5. When I contacted Clarity, I already had a hearing aid. My first impressions were great. I remember sitting outside on my deck for the first time after I got my hearing aids and realizing that I could hear the wind and discovered I had so many birds in my area that I had never heard like that before—it was amazing! Visiting Clarity Hearing is the best thing you can do for yourself.

“They really care about their patients and treat them like family.”

I was born with a severe hearing challenge in 1951. My biggest concern was being different while growing up and wearing hearing aids. But I am so glad that my parents cared enough to encourage me to wear the hearing aids as I would not be the person I am today without them.

Dr. Hawkins has been great from the very first time I met her. My first impression of the clinic was that it was professional, caring, and understanding.

I am very dependent on my hearing aids and cannot imagine life without them. I have been able to lead a normal and productive life because of the hearing aids. Clarity Hearing is definitely the place to go to get your hearing checked. They really care about their patients and treat them like family.

“They always go the extra mile to help you.”

I remember slowly thinking I wasn’t hearing as well as I had before. I went to the doctor, who did a hearing test and it showed a considerable loss. Having never worn hearing aids, I was concerned about how they would look, how comfortable they would be, and how they would work.

The Clarity Hearing employees have been kind, patient, and helpful. They always go the extra mile to help you. Since I began wearing hearing aids, I have learned that putting off wearing them can further increase your hearing loss. Wearing my hearing aids has made it much easier to communicate with others since I can hear them clearly now.

I have recommended Clarity Hearing to anyone who asks me where to go and tell them they are trustworthy, dependable, and kind.

“I hadn’t realized just how much I was missing before.”

I had tinnitus and difficulty hearing high pitches and phone conversations for several years before I finally went to the doctor. I decided to go when I could no longer hear conversations or the TV. I was scared but also in denial; I thought the ENT would just clean out my ears, and I’d be able to hear normally again. When I received my diagnosis of hearing loss and the recommendation to get hearing aids, I was shocked.

Clarity Hearing was my third audiologist, and I had concerns about paying for hearing aids and getting all my questions answered. From the start, my experience with Clarity Hearing has been fantastic. My first impressions of Dr. Guidry were that she was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and caring. I felt so grateful to have been referred to her!

Since getting hearing aids, my life has completely changed. I hadn’t realized just how much I was missing before. Now, I can hear my family and friends, engage better in social activities, be more effective at work, and even enjoy audiobooks and podcasts. I’m so grateful for my hearing aids!

If you’re concerned about your hearing, I highly recommend Clarity Hearing. They are professional, thorough, and caring, taking the time to explain your test results and make the best recommendations for you.

“I would absolutely recommend making an appointment with Clarity Hearing."

I have done an annual complete physical for several years and the results showed that my hearing was failing by comparison to the prior year. Clarity Hearing was referred to me by a friend and my first impressions were excellent!

Dr. Dominique Olivarez was very easy to talk to and explained everything to me. I walked out of my first visit with my new hearing aids. Having worn hearing aids for six years, they definitely allow me to hear much better.

I would absolutely recommend making an appointment with Clarity Hearing, and let them guide you as to what they think might be the best solution for you. In my opinion they are very honest and ethical; they will not try to sell you something you do not need.

“I wear my hearing aids every day, and I am grateful beyond words that I do.”

People had to keep repeating everything they were saying, and I was embarrassed. Before reaching out, my biggest concern was about the cost, as Medicare does not cover hearing aids. I really worried whether it would be more than I could afford. I’m a person that’s into vibrations and how I feel whether it’s people or a building, or whatever, and I felt very safe and very comfortable immediately.

I wear my hearing aids every day, and I am grateful beyond words that I do. I do pet sitting, so I have to be on my game and hear what my clients want from me, including their expectations for my service. If I can’t hear what they’re saying or have to keep asking them to repeat themselves, they won’t be confident in me or my ability to take care of their animals. For anyone who is concerned about their hearing and considering a visit to Clarity Hearing, I would say, “Do it!” Without my hearing aids, the volume on my TV was set to 25 or 30, but with them, it’s now down to eight or nine. This means anybody who’s around me doesn’t have to listen to a screaming TV. It’s almost like I’m normal, go for it.

“I’ve realized how much loss can impact our lives.”

I remember the day I lost my hearing quite well. I could hear in the morning, and that night, I was congested and could not hear. I thought it was bad allergies. This was a Saturday, so on Monday, I called my MD. He ordered antibiotics and steroids, but there was no improvement. My respiratory symptoms increased, so I called my MD back. I healed from the cold symptoms, but my balance was horrible. After a few weeks, I went to an ENT and was diagnosed with labyrinthitis. He sent me to Clarity for an assessment by Dr. Brown. It was traumatic to lose hearing so quickly, more than I would have expected.

I was a little anxious to learn how bad my hearing was but hopeful that I could get an aid to help. My first impressions of Dr. Brown were really positive; they listened to my experience and then did the testing. Afterward, they gave me options for further testing or hearing aids that would help.

Wearing hearing aids has given me more respect for others who have lost their hearing, as I’ve realized how much loss can impact our lives. I wear my hearing aids most days, all day, because they make a difference in understanding and participating in conversations around me.

To anyone concerned about their hearing, I’d say schedule an appointment and get checked! They have different solutions for various issues, and being able to hear better is a true blessing. Is my hearing the same as before? No, but it’s so much better with aids than dealing with hearing loss otherwise.

“I’ve shared my amazing experiences with Clarity Hearing, and now six ladies from my church have Clarity hearing aids, too.”

I was very worried about having hearing loss and feared that it would only get worse. Before reaching out to Clarity Hearing, I had some concerns because I was still working, and I worried that my hearing would interfere with my wonderful life. My first impression of the clinic was that it felt like a great answer to my faithful prayers! You think hearing loss is for older people, but that is not true. It can affect people at any time and at any age.

I wear my amazing hearing aids all the time, except when I’m in bed or the shower. They make me feel whole and wonderful again as an individual. I am able to enjoy a joyful and fulfilling daily life.

I’ve talked with ladies at my church about the importance of hearing aids and how wonderful it is to hear the world and family around you. I’ve shared my amazing experiences with Clarity Hearing, and now six ladies from my church have Clarity hearing aids, too. We are all very thankful and appreciative of the fantastic staff there and the amazing ability to hear all the wonderful things in life.

"You don't know what you are missing."

I thought I was too young to need hearing aids, but after all of my sisters got them, I figured it was time to have my hearing checked. Before contacting them, my biggest concern was that I would feel old and that people would see my hearing aids. My sister recommended Dr. Hawkins, and I was so happy with my first impression—she was so nice! Now, I can hear everything and I’m not embarrassed to wear them—I need them all of the time. If someone is concerned about their hearing and is considering a visit to Clarity Hearing, I would say, “You don’t know what you are missing.”

“I thought they did a great job testing and explaining the results.”

I would answer my phone with one ear and found myself needing to turn up the volume; it was very irritating. My first impression of Clarity Hearing was positive; I thought they did a great job testing and explaining the results. If you’re concerned about your hearing, you should definitely visit Clarity Hearing so they can assist you.

“Go for a hearing test. It doesn't hurt and may help.”

I had been wearing hearing aids for several years but kept saying, “What?” when someone spoke, or I had to ask them to repeat themselves. We had recently moved to Texas and were simply looking for an office close to our home.

The team was very helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to listen. Since I began using hearing aids, I can hear much better now. Go for a hearing test. It doesn’t hurt and may help.

“I went there hoping for a good audiologist and was not disappointed.”

Hearing in my right ear became reduced, and it was hard to tell the direction sounds came from, so that was a concern for driving, among other things. Before contacting Clarity Hearing, I needed new hearing aids, and they were conveniently located. I went there hoping for a good audiologist and was not disappointed.

My first impression was that they knew what they were doing. Since getting my hearing aids, life has become easier because I can hear well. You have nothing to worry about going to Clarity Hearing.
