What the count covers

828 NPPES records list hearing instrument specialist (237700000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Texas: 2.7 per 100,000 residents against 3.2 nationally (50 states and D.C.). San Antonio has 56 of them (7%).

A record is a registration a provider made and keeps up to date: it shows neither that the provider is licensed nor that they still practice there. The state's own license search is the check.
