TLDR : Answer Summary
A travel agent cannot represent you for obtaining a non-visa 30-day extension; however, a visa agent can assist. It's also recommended to take a friend or Thai acquaintance for support during the process, as they can help communicate your needs, especially if you have hearing difficulties.

I also have bad hearing loss so I take a Thai friend to immigration and give her a little money for her time since she blocks off a half-day

Or just use google translate.

This is good advice, even if you don't have hearing loss. I have taken Thai friends, who also speak English, with me the past two years to renew my retirement visa. If there is a sticking point, and there almost always is, a Thai speaker with you is indispensable.

Take a friend with you to help you, don’t have to be a agent

Travel agent, no. Visa agent, yes.
