She enjoyed a wonderful 20-year career with Starkey Hearing Technologies, one of the largest hearing aid manufacturers in the world. During that time, she had the opportunity to travel the country, exploring many aspects of the hearing health industry. During her years at Starkey Hearing Technologies, Erika received numerous awards for her service and dedication to the hearing industry. She also served on the Board of Directors for the Texas Hearing Aid Association.

Just prior to joining Heart of Texas Hearing Center, she spent 18 months in a very busy, private practice audiology clinic in Abilene. She quickly became addicted to helping patients reconnect to life through better hearing.

After traveling for her job for many years, relocating to West Texas has allowed Erika to stay closer to home to spend more time with her family. She and her husband Bryan have two adult children Nathan and Zachary. Erika also enjoys spending time with friends and family attending live music events in the surrounding area. She also enjoys camping and practicing yoga.

She is attentive to the needs of the people she welcomes into the office. Sam assists with the allergy shots, clinical procedures and does lots of paperwork and phone calls. She understands the people that walk through the front doors, are actually the ones she truly works for. Sam tries to answer your questions, if she doesn’t know she will find out for you.

Sam is married and has a wonderful but crazy family. She enjoys doing things with the grandkids. It really doesn’t matter what they do, they have a blast. It actually makes her feel young; although the body says “not so fast.” They are growing up so fast though.

“I truly love what I do.”
