Dr. Lorena Azeneth Escobar

Equipped with a bachelor's in communication disorders from Texas State University and a Doctor of Audiology from Lamar University, Dr. Lorena Escobar found audiology after shadowing one of her hearing science course professors at her private practice. It was incredible to see how providing quality hearing health care triggers a ripple effect of benefits in a patient’s life. During her doctoral program, she had the opportunity to work with the Deaf Co-Ops at the Beaumont and Big Thicket Independent School Districts to provide audiology services to their hard-of-hearing students with and without hearing devices. This experience has been useful in the treatment of hearing disorders and tinnitus in her adult patients, as it demonstrated how a patient’s quality of life could be significantly improved through better hearing at all ages. Dr. Escobar is particularly interested in working with a wide variety of hearing devices—Cochlear’s Baha® and Osia® implants, Earlens’ non-surgical …induction hearing system, Envoy’s Esteem® implant and traditional acoustic hearing aids from various manufacturers. In her spare time, Dr. Escobar enjoys picking up a good book, spending time with her husband and four dogs, exploring the city and traveling all over Texas to visit family and friends. Dr. Escobar is fluent in both English and Spanish and sees patients at our Memorial City office.
