Diane Blaising, Au.D., FAAA, ADA

Board-Certified Doctor of Audiology

Dr. Diane Blaising began her career in audiology in 1992. She received her Doctor of Audiology degree from the Arizona School of Health Sciences, having previously earned her master’s degree in audiology from the Callier Center for Communication Disorders at the University of Texas at Dallas. She has years of experience working with hearing-impaired adults and children in otolaryngologists’ offices.



Dr. Blaising is board certified in audiology by the American Board of Audiology.

In addition, Dr. Blaising has twice been given the Ace Award for continuing education.



“Choosing a hearing professional is one of the most important decisions someone with a hearing problem can make. Since a hearing aid cannot be prescribed like eyeglasses, proper hearing aid recommendation and fitting highly depends on the judgment and skill of the professional selecting the instrument. We test your hearing; select and dispense the hearing instrument best suited to meet your needs; and provide support, counseling, and service to ensure you are a successful hearing aid user. We are concerned about you and make hearing solution recommendations to fit your lifestyle and personal needs.”

—Diane Blaising



Dr. Blaising and her husband (both fifth-generation Texans) are active members of First Baptist Church in Dallas, TX. Her husband serves at the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. They have two children.

Lisa Bixler, COHC

Licensed Audiology Assistant

"Before coming to work at Cityview Audiology, I never realized how many things in life, like hearing health, that we take for granted. Having watched people of all ages walk into our office, some not even realizing how badly they are struggling to hear their loved ones, and then walk out feeling renewed with a smile on their face, has been a rewarding experience and opened my eyes to being more proactive and intentional about my own hearing health."

—Lisa Bixler



Lisa and her husband, Chad, love to serve others together and to travel the world on missions, but their primary mission is and has always been their two adult sons.



Lisa served as a full-time children’s minister of the First Baptist Church in Rusk, TX, for 11 years before moving to Fort Worth in August of 2015. She currently serves as a part-time children’s minister at her church in Cresson. Lisa also directed a weekday preschool in Willow Park before joining the Cityview Audiology family in September of 2017.
