Melanie at Livingston Hearing Aid Center in Georgetown is just awesome. Anytime my mother has an issue, whether it’s cleaning, repai, or replacing lost hearing aids, Melanie and her team work with us for the best possible outcome. My mother has tried many hearing aids and doctors and this is the first where my mother trusts her. Five plus stars.

We purchased new hearing aids in August 2022 from Livingston Hearing Aids in Round Rock. The quality of the hearing aids, customer care and service have been outstanding.
