The Center for Audiology is a privately owned practice with locations in the Houston Galleria area and Pearland. The founding audiologist at this practice is Dr. Sara Nagel; Dr. Nagel received both BS and MA degrees from Brooklyn College, City University of New York. She then furthered her education with an AuD from A.T. Still University-Arizona School of Health Sciences. After some time working in Houston as a pediatric audiologist and a professor of Audiology Dr. Nagel opened her leading audiology practice. She has built a team of two other audiologists and a hearing instrument specialist.

The Center for Audiology has over 200 four- and five-star reviews on Google. Here are just two reviews that capture the feelings of all their clients:

After wearing a hearing aid on and off for 4 years, I found Dr. Sara Nagel at Center for Audiology. She has worked with me for several months during which time I’ve tried different styles of hearing aids until I found something that is highly effective, secure and comfortable. Beyond being kind and accommodating, she is most intelligent and skilled in making computer adjustments to the hearing aids that has led to the most natural and clearest hearing I’ve experienced in many years. She is a true professional, dedicated to her clients and her profession! – BS

I have been most impressed with Dr. Nagel’s thorough knowledge of audiology and her patience in answering my many questions. This is my third try with hearing aids, but this time I’ve finally found a winner! – JH

The 20 5-star reviews on Yelp and Google show just how much Clarity Hearing has helped and cared for their clients. Here are two standout reviews:

It was about six years ago when I first noticed I had a hearing loss. I had missed out on so many conversations. My biggest fear was that I could not be helped with my hearing. Shawn is the greatest! The staff were so friendly. Shawn was so compassionate. I really felt like she cared so much. Hearing aids have made my life complete. Clarity Hearing is the place to come to because they go above and beyond to help people. Shawn is a jewel! – Mary

Top-notch customer service. I cannot begin to explain or go into enough detail on Dr. Hawkins and her level of professionalism. She literally treated me like I was part of her family. (That’s how I felt anyway.) The level of service I received is nothing I’ve experienced before. So much so that I had my dad visit Dr Hawkins when he drove down for a visit from Tulsa. He wasn’t happy with his hearing aid provider in Oklahoma. Thank you Dr Hawkins and your amazing staff. Thank you for setting an amazing standard of service that is unfortunately not standard in this day and age. You’re amazing! – Ben
