About Ocean Wave Hearing
About Ocean Wave Hearing
Ocean Wave Hearing is an independent hearing technology practice in Corpus Christi, built for working adults who want clearer conversations at work, at dinner, and on the phone — without a one-brand sales pitch or a Medicare-first waiting room feel.
Our Belief
Meet Ruben C. Cavazos, Jr., MS, HIS
Ruben C. Cavazos, Jr., MS, HIS founded and leads Ocean Wave Hearing with a Coastal Bend presence dating to about 2011. As a Hearing Instrument Specialist, Ruben focuses on careful evaluation, professional fitting, and real-ear measurement so your technology is programmed for your hearing — not a generic preset.
Patients come to Ocean Wave Hearing for Bluetooth, rechargeable, and discreet options from multiple manufacturers, chosen around lifestyle and budget: Phonak, Starkey, Signia, Oticon, ReSound, and Widex.
Our promise
Professional hearing care, delivered differently.
Our Founder
Independent on purpose
We are not a franchise locked to a single catalog. Independence means we can recommend the tier and brand that fit your hearing, your day-to-day demands, and your budget — then verify the fit with real-ear measurement and support you through follow-up adjustments.
How we get paid: Ocean Wave Hearing is built around transparent self-pay pricing, with financing available for those who prefer monthly payments. Many Coastal Bend adults use HSA or FSA funds for hearing care. Your quoted price includes evaluation, professional fitting, real-ear measurement, and follow-up care — not just the device in the box. We are not a one-manufacturer store.
Medical note: Hearing aids require professional evaluation and fitting, and results vary. Website information is educational only and is not a diagnosis or medical advice. If your evaluation suggests a medical referral is appropriate, we will guide you to the right specialist.
How We're Different
Five commitments behind every visit.
Better Hearing
We treat "I don't have to struggle anymore" as the actual goal — not just passing a hearing test.
Technology
Bluetooth, rechargeable, discreet, smartphone-connected — these aren't your grandparents' hearing aids.
Lifestyle
Restaurants, meetings, family, travel, music, and phone calls — technology fit to how you actually live.
Affordability
Clear pricing across technology tiers so you can plan a purchase, not brace for a surprise.
Professional Fitting
Personalized testing, fitting, programming, and adjustments — real professional help, not guessing online.
Independence
Multi-brand access means our recommendations are built around your hearing, not one manufacturer's catalog.
