👂 Get help with the conversations you’re missing

4859 Williams Dr., Suite 109, Georgetown, TX 78633

Cook Hearing & Balance is a locally owned audiology practice with a Georgetown office offering hearing evaluations, tinnitus care and hearing-aid services. Owner and audiologist Dr. Elizabeth Sperino has been with the practice for years and took ownership in 2019.

If conversations are becoming harder to follow, especially in restaurants, family gatherings or other noisy places, a hearing evaluation can help pinpoint what’s going on and what options might help.

The practice takes a broader approach than simply fitting hearing aids, with testing and treatment plans designed around each patient’s hearing, lifestyle and needs.
Call 512-357-8000 to ask about appointments, pricing and insurance coverage.

🍤 A seafood lunch with choices beyond the fryer

601 E Whitestone Blvd # 200, Cedar Park, TX 78613

C.R. Surf & Turf Restaurant has been serving Cedar Park since 2005, with a menu built around seafood, steaks and plenty of lunch options. If you’re meeting a friend for a daytime meal, you can go as light as a cup of clam chowder or make it a full seafood lunch.

The lunch menu includes grilled or fried fish and shrimp tacos, plus seafood platters served with fries, hushpuppies and garlic bread. There are also salads, vegetables and other sides if you’d rather mix and match.

And if fried seafood isn’t your thing, the broader menu includes options like salmon, cod and steaks too. Dine-in and takeout are available. Call 512-260-0600 or check current hours before heading over.
