A Personal Message from Owner, Dr. Shannon L. Austin
"After 20 years in hearing healthcare, seeing every side of the industry, I realized there was a better and fairer way to deliver premium hearing healthcare. That’s why I founded SLA Audiology—to offer the highest level of audiological care through an unbundled, 'pay for only what you need' approach, combined with tailored solutions for the Hendricks County communities.
Since opening our doors, it’s been a privilege to help hundreds of local people achieve better hearing by combining expertise, individualized care, and a big heart that allows them to get more for their investment and achieve better long-term results.
If you are looking for a trusted partner to achieve better hearing the smart way, then we’re currently accepting new patients with appointments available.”
Comprehensive Evaluations Rooted in Audiological Excellence
Think of the difference between a fine dining experience and a fast-food joint—it’s all about quality, care, and expertise. The same goes for hearing tests.
While it’s easy to assume all hearing tests are the same, the reality couldn’t be more different.
Many clinics and stores offer free tests designed solely to determine if you’re a candidate for hearing aids. At SLA Audiology, our approach is far more thorough.
Our comprehensive evaluations take you through a multi-step process to assess your overall hearing health and rather than exploring IF you have a hearing challenge, it instead focuses on the if, why, what and how.
Helping You to Invest in Hearing Technology the Smart Way
Remember the bulky hearing aids your parents or grandparents may have worn? That outdated image still lingers in many people’s minds - but the reality of today’s hearing technology is vastly different.
Modern devices are sleek, discreet, and packed with cutting-edge features. From rechargeable batteries to seamless connectivity with phones and computers, and even Artificial Intelligence that isolates voices in noisy environments, today’s hearing aids don’t just amplify sounds—they enhance your entire lifestyle.
Through our independence, and unique “unbundled” approach – we can introduce you to the right technology based on your unique needs, circumstances and lifestyle, for significantly less than you may expect.
