About Us
Wesley Miller, Audioprosthologist, Board Certified Hearing Aid Specialist
Wesley has been a practicing hearing aid specialist since 1987. In 1988 he earned hearing aid dispensing licenses in Texas and New Mexico. He moved to New Mexico from San Antonio, Texas in 1991 and opened the Roswell Sandia Hearing Aid office in its current location.
That same year he earned the important designation BC-HIS. This achievement represented his desire to excel beyond the normal requirements for operating a hearing instrument practice. The designation, BC-HIS (Board Certified in Hearing Instrument Sciences), is earned by completing and passing a highly specialized National Competency Exam which is based on practical knowledge of dispensing and decision-making capability. The designation requires recertification every three years with proof of qualifying continuing education.
The following year, Wesley earned the coveted title Audioprosthologist from the American Conference of Audioprosthology. The ACA program is an upper division undergraduate course specifically designed for hearing instrument dispensers with emphasis on Speech Pathology and Audiology. It is the highest designation a hearing aid dispenser can obtain. Through this designation he is qualified to assess the type and magnitude of hearing impairment, analyze and select hearing aids with appropriate electroacoustic properties and manage the professional, technical and business aspects of the hearing aid field.
In the last 22 years, Wesley has expanded the Sandia practice to include Eddy, Lea, Roosevelt and Curry counties in addition to the home area of Chavez County. Each community in Southeast New Mexico welcomes him as a specialized member of the hearing health community. He has helped thousands of citizens in Southeastern New Mexico with his caring dedication to the best and latest technology and highest quality service.
Wesley believes in the important task of giving back to the communities that have made him successful. He has served on various boards and committees over the years, offering his insight and judgment to causes important to Southeastern New Mexico.

Richard has always been interested in technology. While still a child in Artesia, his father introduced him to programming computers with some of the first technology available to home users. He continued to practice the science in adulthood. Formerly employed by Dell computers in Texas as a technical support supervisor, he has combined his love computers and extensive hearing aid fitting training to serve the hearing impaired of Southeastern New Mexico.
Having grandparents who are hearing impaired, he is familiar with the effects of hearing difficulties on his patients and their families. Using the latest diagnostic and miniaturized circuit designed techniques he learned at manufacturing facilities in California, Texas, and Minnesota Richard designed and implemented Southeastern New Mexico’s only full service hearing aid repair facility. In the time since becoming licensed to fit hearing instruments in New Mexico he has compassionately helped hundreds of families cope with and overcome the adversity of diminished communication due to hearing loss.
Richard is a devoted husband and father of three wonderful daughters. His spare time is spent teaching his children the same compassion and love of technology his father passed along to him.
