Our Staff

Molly Thrush is the Hearing Instrument Specialist in Round Rock, Texas. She also serves as the Regional Clinic Leader in the central Texas area. Molly is originally from Nashville, Tennessee and attended the University of Mississippi. She was drawn to the hearing industry in college and she started working at New Sound right after graduating in 2015.

What Molly loves most about saving hearing lives is watching each patient transform as they are able to live a more fulfilling life once fit with hearing aids. When patients come back and tell her how they are able to hear their granddaughter or participate in activities again is extremely rewarding to her. Molly knows every patient has different needs and is excellent at finding a solution for everyone!

Outside of saving hearing lives, Molly loves traveling, hiking, cooking, visiting family, and playing with her French Bulldog, Lily!

My name is Dylan, and I grew in Blanco, Texas. I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2019.
