About the practice
A Dripping Springs practice built for unhurried care.
Independence is the practical difference here. Dripping Springs Hearing & Tinnitus has no corporate parent and no manufacturer agreement steering what gets recommended. Dr. Paige Juarez, Au.D., CH-TM, owns the practice, brings more than sixteen years of clinical audiology to it, and has raised four children in Dripping Springs over the past decade. Your care sits with one person from the first test onward.
In practice that means hearing aids get selected across Phonak, Oticon, ReSound, Signia, Starkey, and Widex on the basis of your audiogram, your ears, and how you actually spend your days. It also means the appointment can take the hour it needs, with both ears examined, the testing done properly, and the results explained rather than summarized. Occasionally the honest answer is that no treatment is needed, and you will hear that too. Blanco patients are seen on the same footing as everyone else.

What Blanco patients come in for.
Five services, each with a page of its own if you want the details before you book.
-
Diagnostic hearing evaluation
About an hour of proper testing, a look inside both ears, then the audiogram read back to you at the table before you drive home.
-
Hearing aids from all major makers
Phonak, Oticon, ReSound, Signia, Starkey, and Widex, fitted by the same audiologist who tested you. The practice is locally owned, so no maker has a quota here.
-
Tinnitus care
CH-TM certification, tinnitus retraining therapy, and sound therapy. Ringing gets a plan of its own instead of a hearing aid brochure.
-
Earwax removal
Sometimes the whole answer is wax sitting against the eardrum. It gets cleared in the chair, before it skews a test result.
-
Real ear measurement
The verification step many clinics skip. A probe microphone measures the sound actually reaching your eardrum, so the fitting is proven rather than assumed.
Why here
What makes our practice different.
There is no shortage of places to get your hearing checked. Four things set this one apart, whichever direction you are driving from.
- A doctorate
- Dr. Paige Juarez holds an Au.D. from the University of North Texas and has practiced for more than sixteen years. She sees you at the first appointment and at every one after it.
- The right equipment
- Every fitting is verified with real ear measurement, not assumed. Earwax removal uses the Earigator, a temperature-controlled system most area clinics do not have.
- Tinnitus expertise
- CH-TM certification, tinnitus retraining therapy, and sound therapy. Ringing gets a treatment plan of its own, not a shrug and a hearing aid brochure.
- Independent advice
- The practice is locally owned, with no manufacturer quotas to meet. Recommendations follow your results across Phonak, Oticon, ReSound, Signia, Starkey, and Widex.
