About Audicles

Audicles Hearing Services started in 1944 as Sonotone of San Antonio. Arthur and Gretta Small took over the office in 1958 and later welcomed daughter Carrol Green to the staff in 1971. Jane Watson joined Audicles in 1982 as the staff audiologist. The combined strengths of hearing aid dispenser and audiologist gave Audicles the leading edge in providing a full range of services to the hearing impaired of San Antonio. Audiologist Tracy Board joined the Audicles team in 2004 and quickly fit into the family. Audiologist Rosanne Prince joined Audicles in 2007. Two of our support staff, Sandy LaStrapes and Diane Cowan have been with Audicles for over 20 years and we were pleased to add Shawna Shaffer to our front office staff in 2006

Why the Giraffe?

People are always curious about what our
giraffe has to do with hearing. Well, nothing actually! Several years
ago, we did a health fair at the zoo and handed our coupons for hearing
screenings. We put two giraffes on the envelope and people made a lot of
positive comments about them. Two days later, Sandy from our office saw
a shirt with a giraffe and the saying, "Head and shoulders above the
rest" on it. The rest is history. We have found that people can remember
a giraffe better than the name Audicles....
