The Smart Way to Invest in Better Hearing 

Traditional hearing care often comes bundled with one-size-fits-all plans, where you pay a flat fee that includes services, appointments, and extras—many of which you may never need or use. 
 

Our approach is different. By embracing an unbundled model, you only pay for what you need. This means your treatment plan is customized specifically for your hearing challenges and lifestyle to help you to get the best long-term outcomes for your hearing health. 
 

It’s a smarter way to access the highest levels of audiological care while ensuring you’re not paying for unnecessary extras. It’s how SLA Audiology continues to provide the west side of Indianapolis with a fairer, more transparent hearing care experience. 

22 Years of Helping People on Indianapolis’ West Side to Achieve Better Hearing 

Dr. Shannon L. Austin has been helping local people and multiple-generations of families to achieve better hearing and access the highest levels of hearing healthcare for the past two decades, across the west side of Indianapolis. 
 
Regardless of what hearing challenge that you may be experiencing, Dr. Austin has almost certainly helped somebody else with the exact same challenge to achieve the outcomes that they were hoping for. 

Independently Owned and Operated

Visiting an independent business is a completely different experience compared to walking into a national chain. At SLA Audiology, every decision is guided by what’s best for you - not corporate targets or sales quotas. 
 

Being independently owned means, we’re deeply connected to the Brownsburg community, with a commitment to serving our neighbors for years to come. Excellence, integrity, and patient-first care are at the core of everything we do.

Your hearing is as unique as your fingerprint, so a generic approach simply won’t do.

This ensures your hearing health is protected, your budget is respected, and you receive the best possible care every step of the way.

From sponsoring “Fight Back Fitness”, the “Fair Haven Foundation”, “Brownsburg Older Adult Alliance”, “Brownsburg High School Young Life Chapter” and “Brownsburg High School Show Choirs” to gifting our time/expertise to help more local people in the community to access hearing healthcare. 

Supporting local businesses, and local causes is incredibly important to us.

This independence ensures you get the best possible device for your situation—not a pre-determined option tied to a single brand.
