Audiology Care for Carencro Residents
Carencro sits directly north of Lafayette off Interstate 49. Most Carencro homes are ten to fifteen minutes from our office at 103 Saint Thomas Street. Whether you live near Carencro Middle School, downtown Carencro, or out toward Grand Coteau, our clinic is the nearest full-service audiology practice with four Doctors of Audiology on staff.
We are independent, family owned, and have practiced in Lafayette Parish for over four decades. Our four audiologists carry the Au.D. clinical doctorate, the CCC-A certification from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and hold current Louisiana licensure. That is a deeper credential set than any hearing aid dispenser or big-box hearing chain within thirty miles of Carencro.

How far is ACI Hearing Center from Carencro?
Most Carencro addresses are between eleven and fifteen minutes from our office at 103 Saint Thomas Street. Take Interstate 49 south to the Evangeline Thruway exit, then a short surface street drive to the clinic. Parking is available on site.
Do you accept Medicare and BCBS for Carencro patients?
Yes. We participate with Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, and most major insurance plans. Diagnostic hearing tests are typically covered. Hearing aid benefits vary by plan. Call 337-223-9448 and we will verify your benefits before your visit.
Do I need a referral to see an audiologist from Carencro?
Louisiana law allows direct access to a Doctor of Audiology. You do not need a physician referral to schedule a hearing test at ACI Hearing Center. If your insurance requires one, we will let you know when you book.
Is ACI the closest audiology practice to Carencro?
For Doctor of Audiology level care with a full clinic team, yes. There are hearing aid dispensers and big-box locations closer to Carencro, but they are not licensed audiologists and do not offer the full diagnostic and cochlear-implant scope of practice we do.
What hearing aid brands can I try if I drive down from Carencro?
Because ACI is independent, we fit Oticon, Phonak, Widex, Signia, Starkey, ReSound, Unitron, and others. We recommend based on your audiogram, communication needs, budget, and lifestyle, not based on a single manufacturer contract.
