Meet Dr. Bethany Daniels — All About Hearing's Pediatric and Cochlear Implant Specialist

If you've been searching for an audiologist in Midland, TX who genuinely understands children's hearing needs, it's worth knowing who's behind the care. Bethany Daniels, Au.D., CCC-A, joined All About Hearing with a background that's rare in this field: real, hands-on experience inside school districts, working directly with kids and their hearing devices every single day.

That kind of experience changes how someone practices audiology. It's one thing to learn about pediatric hearing loss in a classroom. It's another to sit across from a child who's frustrated because their device stopped working right before a test, and figure out how to fix it on the spot.

From Abilene to the Clinic

Dr. Daniels grew up in Abilene, Texas, and earned her bachelor's degree from McMurry University before heading to Lamar University in Beaumont for her doctorate. After graduation, she stayed in the Houston area for a couple of years, and that's where her career really took shape.

She started out working for an ENT practice. Good foundation, solid clinical grounding. But the role that shaped her most came next, when she took a position with a school district.

Working With Kids Where They Actually Are

Here's the thing about pediatric hearing care: a lot of it doesn't happen in a clinic at all. It happens in classrooms, hallways, and gym class, wherever a kid's hearing device might act up or get knocked loose.

At the school district, Dr. Daniels was responsible for troubleshooting children's hearing devices, which meant she got comfortable with the practical, unglamorous side of pediatric audiology. Devices that stop syncing. Batteries that die at the worst moment. Kids who don't want to explain why they can't hear the teacher.

She also attended meetings and advocated for children with hearing loss, making sure their needs were understood and represented by the adults responsible for their education. That advocacy piece matters. A hearing aid alone doesn't guarantee a child gets what they need at school. Someone has to speak up, translate the audiology into terms a classroom teacher or administrator can act on, and Dr. Daniels did that work directly.

Bringing That Experience to All About Hearing

Now at All About Hearing, Dr. Daniels provides hearing care to patients of all ages, something she's said she's especially excited about. That range matters for families in Midland. A pediatric audiologist in Midland who also treats adults and seniors means a practice can serve an entire household, not just one age group.

She's also looking forward to gaining further knowledge about cochlear implants, an area where All About Hearing already has strong capabilities. Cochlear implants can be life-changing for children and adults with severe to profound hearing loss when hearing aids aren't enough, and having a provider who's actively building expertise there is good news for local families navigating that decision.

What stands out about Dr. Daniels's approach isn't just her credentials, though those matter too. It's the combination of clinical training and real classroom experience. She's seen how hearing loss plays out in a child's actual day, not just in a sound booth. That perspective tends to make appointments feel less clinical and more like someone who gets it.

Care That Understands the Whole Family

Families dealing with a child's hearing loss often carry a lot of quiet worry. Is my child falling behind? Are they missing things in class? Is the device actually working the way it should?

Having a provider on the All About Hearing team who has spent years answering exactly those kinds of questions, in real schools, with real kids, offers a level of reassurance that's hard to overstate. It's the difference between a provider who's read about pediatric hearing loss and one who's lived inside it professionally.
