What’s The Difference Between All About Hearing and Livingston Audiology & Hearing Aid Center?

by | 02/14/2024 | FAQ's, News, Patient Resources

When it comes to choosing the right hearing care experts in Midland and the Permian Basin, you’re spoilt for choice.

There are many different clinics, groups and ways to purchase hearing aids, which means that we often receive phone calls asking what is the difference between us and others.

One of the common names that we’re asked to compare ourselves to is Livingston Audiology & Hearing Aid Center based in Midland.

Although Livingston Audiology is a group with many locations throughout Texas, they have an office based on West Wall Street and you may have even received adverts/promotions from them.

In this article, we want to share seven reasons why many local people decide that we’re the right hearing care experts for them.

#1 – We are Doctors of Audiology

Though both Livingston Audiology and Hearing Aid Center have a Doctor of Audiologist in-house, the biggest difference is that we practice a medical model and they both practice a retail model.

What this means is that where we do full diagnostics to figure out the best treatment options (which doesn’t always include hearing aids), they test hearing for the purpose of selling hearing aids.

#6 – We Work With Children (Paediatrics)

We have many children that we help with hearing challenges to ensure they don’t live life with a sacrifice and that they receive first-class hearing healthcare. With very few clinics in Midland offering paediatrics, this once again establishes a key difference between the level of our audiological care and others.
