Birmingham Speech & Hearing Associates
Update: COVID-19 Health Advisory
As more information about the coronavirus has become available, we believe it is important to inform our patients on best practices to keep yourselves and your family members safe.
Please refer to this fact sheet from the CDC that outlines what you need to know about the coronavirus.
Please be aware that our office is taking precautions to prevent against this disease. If you or someone you have been in contact with is at risk or has shown any symptoms of the coronavirus, we ask that you please contact us to reschedule your appointment.
At Birmingham Speech & Hearing, we're here to help you improve your hearing, your ability to communicate, and your quality of life. We love helping people hear and speak better. For our audiologists, the most rewarding experience in the world is seeing how patients react when they get their hearing aids and realize how much they've been missing over the years — and how much we can help them get back. For our speech-language pathologists, it is hearing a child say their first word or finally be able to tell a parent I love you.
A Supportive Hearing Healthcare Family
We've been helping people of all ages in Birmingham hear better for more than three decades. Over that time, we've seen both new and established patients come back year after year or even decade after decade. Patients say it feels like coming home when they visit us because our office is as warm and friendly as we are. We work as a team to provide personalized, compassionate care. When you become our patient, you become like a member of our family, and you can relax knowing that you're in good hands.
When we talk to you about your hearing loss and what your options are, we are always open, direct, honest, and to-the-point. Patients appreciate that we're not pushy like salespeople or clinical like doctors can sometimes be. Instead, we try to help you feel comfortable and supported no matter what decision you make.

Your First Appointment
- The moment you walk through the door, you'll be greeted by name, which sets the tone for what you can expect at Birmingham Speech & Hearing. We take a very personalized approach to hearing healthcare. Our office feels more homey than clinical, and we try to make sure you're comfortable here. You'll never have to wait long.
- When our audiologist brings you back for your appointment, we'll have a conversation with you about what brought you to see us. We want to understand where you've been having difficulties, what your expectations are, and what you're looking for in terms of treatment. The more we get to know you, the better we can help you.
- Then we bring you into our testing booth, which is spacious and comfortable. We'll give you a comprehensive exam, which involves looking inside your ears for anything visibly out of the ordinary and then going through standard tone testing and speech testing. This helps us determine what the cause of your hearing loss might be, how severe your hearing loss is, and what we can do to help.
- We'll go over the results in detail and answer any questions you might have. We encourage you to ask all your questions so that you're fully educated on what's going on with your own hearing health.
- If we determine that hearing aids might be a good solution for you, we'll share what your options are and recommend what we think will be best for you. We keep demo units on hand so we can show you what hearing aids look like and how they might feel in your ears.
- We never pressure you to make a decision. If you need time, we respect that. We're just here to support you and give you the information you need to understand your options and what to expect.
- We recommend bringing another person with you to your appointments. They can serve as a second set of ears, and help keep track of what we explain to you, whether it's details about your hearing loss or a description of how to take care of your hearing aids
