Marble Falls High School freshman Mandy Mullarkey walked out of Estes Audiology in Marble Falls on Dec. 23 streaming music and video chatting with a friend through new Bluetooth-enhanced hearing aids.
Mullarkey, who has been hearing impaired since birth, was able to replace previous aids she had been using for the past six years with a new state-of-the-art set through the Gift of Hearing from Estes Audiology Hearing Centers. The new hearing aids came at no cost.
