Altitude Audiology

**$8,000+ vs. $400. Same hearing aids. Same patient. 😳**

Recently, a patient came to Altitude Audiology wearing trial hearing aids from another office. She had been quoted **more than $8,000** to purchase them.

Thankfully, her neighbor, who happens to be one of our patients, told her, **“Go see Altitude Audiology and get another opinion.”**

So she did. 💙

We completed our own hearing evaluation, talked with her about her needs, and most importantly, **checked her insurance benefits.**

The result?

The **same hearing aids** she was already trialing were available to her with her insurance benefits.

**Her out-of-pocket cost: $400.**

She went from thinking she needed to spend more than **$8,000** to spending **$400**.

Needless to say, she was VERY happy she listened to her neighbor!

This is also a perfect example of why getting a second opinion and understanding your hearing aid benefits can matter so much.

At Altitude Audiology, we aren't here to sell you the most expensive option. We're here to help you hear better and make sure you understand **all of your options**, including any insurance benefits available to you.

**Honesty. Integrity. Compassion.**

Those aren't marketing words to us. They're how we believe healthcare should be practiced and how every person who walks through our doors deserves to be treated.

And to the wonderful patient who sent her neighbor our way: **thank you.** Referrals like this are one of the greatest compliments you can give us. 💙

**Before spending thousands on hearing aids, it never hurts to get a second opinion.**

🎉 Celebrating 7 Years of Altitude Audiology! 🎉

Seven years ago, Dr. Mackenzie Thomas took a leap of faith and opened Altitude Audiology with one simple goal: to provide exceptional hearing healthcare while treating every patient like family. What started with a vision has grown into a thriving practice built on hard work, dedication, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to doing what’s right for every patient.

Over the past seven years, Dr. Thomas has poured her heart into building not just a business, but a place where people feel welcomed, cared for, and genuinely listened to. While her determination laid the foundation, she is the first to say that Altitude Audiology would not be where it is today without the incredible team that stands beside her. Their compassion, professionalism, and commitment to outstanding patient care are what make Altitude Audiology truly special.

Most importantly, thank you to the amazing Spring Branch, Bulverde, and surrounding Hill Country communities. Every appointment, referral, review, and word of encouragement has helped make this journey possible. Your trust and support have allowed Altitude Audiology to continue growing and serving the community they love.

Here’s to seven incredible years of helping people reconnect with the sounds that matter most, and to many more years of serving this wonderful community.

Thank you for being part of the Altitude Audiology family! ❤️

Owning a small business has never been just about what happens inside our office.

It's about being part of something bigger.

Over the years, we've had the privilege of supporting local schools, our veterans through the VFW, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the Shriners, the Knights of Columbus, youth organizations, community events, and many other incredible causes. Every opportunity to give back reminds us why we chose to build our practice here.

A community doesn't thrive because of one business. It thrives because neighbors choose to support neighbors.

When you shop local, you're doing more than making a purchase. You're helping sponsor the little league team, donate to a local fundraiser, support veterans, invest in schools, and strengthen the place we all call home.

Thank you to everyone who chooses to support local businesses. Your decision has a ripple effect that reaches far beyond what you may realize.

Community is what small business is all about, and we're grateful to be a part of ours.

Look who stopped by Altitude Audiology today! Meet Gracie the Giraffe, who came in for her annual hearing test. We weren’t sure she’d fit in the booth, but somehow we made it work. 😅💜

Gracie says she wasn’t taking any chances. When your ears are that far from your feet, you definitely want to make sure they’re still working!

All jokes aside, Gracie’s onto something. Annual hearing tests are one of the easiest ways to catch changes early, often before you even notice them. Hearing loss usually happens gradually, so a quick yearly check can make a big difference.

If Gracie can make time for her hearing test, what’s your excuse? 😉🦒👂

📞 Give us a call and schedule your annual hearing check. We promise our chairs are a perfect fit for humans.

"What have you been missing?"

If you’re a veteran struggling to hear conversations, missing parts of your favorite activities, or constantly asking people to repeat themselves, help may be closer than you think. 🇺🇸

Altitude Audiology is proud to be a VA Community Care Network (CCN) provider serving the Bulverde/Spring Branch area and surrounding communities.

That means many veterans may be able to receive hearing care and hearing aids locally instead of making the long drive to San Antonio.

Our team can also help guide you through the process of determining eligibility and getting connected with your VA hearing benefits. While the VA authorization must come from the VA side, we are always happy to help point veterans in the right direction and make the process feel less overwhelming.

You served our country. You deserve accessible, compassionate care close to home.

Today was a special day for us at Altitude Audiology as we delivered our very first Local Listening Award to HealthFirst Primary Care and Dr. Dayani.

We recently asked our patients a simple question: “Who in this community truly listens to you?”

Over and over again, one name kept coming up. Dr. Dayani.

In a world where so many people feel rushed, overlooked, or unheard, taking the time to genuinely listen can change everything. Our patients shared story after story about feeling cared for, respected, and valued at HealthFirst Primary Care, and we could not agree more.

As healthcare providers ourselves, we know that listening is one of the most important things we can do for another person. It builds trust, improves care, and reminds people that they matter.

We are incredibly proud to have Dr. Dayani and HealthFirst Primary Care as part of the Spring Branch community, and we are honored to recognize the impact they are making every single day.

Congratulations on being the very first recipient of the Altitude Audiology Local Listening Award. Well deserved.
