Hurst, TX
1550 Norwood Dr. Suite 100
Hurst, TX 76054

817-835-8781

You don’t need a referral to schedule. Most patients call 817-835-8781 or book online, come in for a diagnostic hearing evaluation, and leave with a clear picture of where their hearing actually stands — often on the same day.

Who We See — and Where They Come From

Our physical location is in Hurst. Our patients are from all over the Mid-Cities and greater Fort Worth area. We regularly see people from:

Hurst, TX — our home base
North Richland
Hills, TX
Euless, TX
Bedford, TX
Fort Worth, TX
Keller, TX
Colleyville, TX
Southlake, TX
Haltom City, TX
Grapevine, TX

Distance isn’t usually the deciding factor for our patients. They come because they want to see an actual audiologist — not a hearing aid dispenser, not a franchise tech, not a big-box retail associate.

There’s a difference. We’ll get into that.

A Few Numbers Worth Knowing

4	Licensed Au.D. audiologists on staff — all Fellowship-level credentialed
20+	Years North Hills Hearing & Balance Center has served the Hurst/Fort Worth community
1 in 8	Americans age 12+ has hearing loss in both ears — most go undiagnosed for 7–10 years before seeking help
48%	Of adults aged 60–69 have some degree of measurable hearing loss (NIDCD data)

The People You'll Actually See

Here’s something most hearing clinics don’t advertise: who specifically will be in the room with you. At North Hills, it’s one of our four board-certified audiologists — not a rotating assistant, not an intern, not whoever happens to be available.

Audiologist	Credentials	Focus Area
Rebecca W. McDonald, Au.D.	Au.D., F-AAA	Clinical director, complex cases
Bobbi Burk, Au.D.	Au.D., CCC-A, F-AAA	Hearing aids, adult rehabilitation
Tracey Doria, Au.D.	Au.D., CCC-A, F-AAA	Diagnostics, balance testing
Brianna Cumiskey, Au.D.	Au.D., CCC-A, FAAA	Pediatric & adult audiometry

F-AAA means Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology — it’s the highest professional credential in the field. All four of our audiologists hold it. That’s not common.

Why Patients Drive Past Other Clinics to Come Here

Getting Here — Practical Details

The office is on Colleyville Blvd in Hurst, in the same professional building complex as North Hills ENT. If you’ve been to the ENT office before, you already know where to park.

Free parking directly in front of the building — no parking structure or fees
Wheelchair accessible entrance and exam rooms
Ground-floor suite — no elevator required
From NE Loop 820, take the Precinct Line Road exit north, then east on Harwood Road
From SH-183 (Airport Freeway), head north on Industrial Blvd toward Hurst/Bedford

Arriving a few minutes early is helpful so we can get your intake paperwork sorted before the appointment starts. If you’d prefer to complete it ahead of time, the patient intake form is available on our website.

Questions People Actually Ask Before They Call

These come from real conversations — calls, emails, and things people have typed into search engines that eventually led them here.

Do I need a referral to come in?

No. You can self-refer for a hearing evaluation. That said, if your ENT or primary care physician orders the test, it may change what your insurance covers — specifically, physician-ordered diagnostic exams often qualify for Medicare Part B coverage when self-scheduled routine tests don’t.

How long does a hearing test take?

A full diagnostic evaluation is typically 60–75 minutes. This includes the audiogram itself, middle ear testing, speech understanding testing, and time to review findings with your audiologist. If you’re coming in specifically for a hearing aid adjustment or repair, that can be 15–30 minutes.

I already have hearing aids from somewhere else — can you help me?

Yes. We see plenty of patients who were fit elsewhere and aren’t satisfied with their results. We can do real-ear measurement on existing devices to assess fit accuracy, reprogram compatible devices, or evaluate whether a different solution would serve you better. We also repair most major brands.

Is there parking at your Hurst office?

Yes — free, surface parking directly in front of the building. Accessible spaces are available adjacent to the main entrance.

Do you accept Medicare Advantage plans?

We accept many Medicare Advantage plans, but coverage for hearing aids and related services varies by plan. Call us with your plan information and we’ll verify your specific benefits before your appointment.

Can I bring a family member to my appointment?

Please do. Hearing loss affects communication in relationships, and having a spouse, adult child, or close friend present during the evaluation and counseling session genuinely helps. They often notice things the patient doesn’t, and they’ll understand the recommendations better if they’ve heard them firsthand.

Ready to Schedule?

Most people wait longer than they should before getting their hearing checked. The average gap between when hearing loss begins and when someone seeks help is seven to ten years. That’s a long time to ask people to repeat themselves, to turn the TV up, to miss pieces of conversations.

We’re in Hurst. We’re available Monday through Friday. We have four audiologists on staff and we genuinely enjoy what we do. If you’re in the Fort Worth area — whether that’s Keller, Southlake, Euless, Bedford, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, or anywhere in between — getting here is straightforward.
