Texas Hearing Institute

Texas Hearing Institute Texas Hearing Institute is the most comprehensive resource for pediatric hearing loss in Texas.

In 1947, The Center for Hearing and Speech was founded by four parents on a bold dream that deaf children could learn to listen and speak, enabling them to communicate with their families and the community. Today, the nationally renowned Texas Hearing Institute, formerly known as The Center for Hearing and Speech, serves as the most comprehensive resource for pediatric hearing loss in Texas and the only facility in the region to offer health and spoken language education for hearing-impaired children under one roof.

Big news for Houston families!

Texas Hearing Institute has launched an in-house 3D Printing Earmold Lab right here on our campus. That means faster turnaround times, fewer delays, and less time without sound for children who rely on hearing technology.

For families, that translates to fewer appointments, quicker adjustments, and better access to consistent listening and speech development. We’re helping reduce barriers and keep care local.

Read the full story and see how this new lab is changing the experience for families:

Imagine having thoughts, ideas, and jokes to share… but no reliable way to express them.

Programs like STAP through Texas Health and Human Services help make communication possible by providing financial assistance for speech-generating devices to eligible individuals.

Access changes everything.

If you’re a Texas family navigating AAC funding, this is a resource you don’t want to miss.

Happy 🌎👂 World Hearing Day!

We asked our kids + staff one very important question…
“What’s the silliest sound you can make?”

The results? 😂👀
Animals. Kisses. Mystery noises we still can’t explain.

Today we’re celebrating the joy of listening, laughing, and all the silly sounds that make communication FUN. 💬✨

Because every sound tells a story, and we’re here for all of them!
