Birmingham Speech & Hearing Associates
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.

Proud Partner of HearStrong
HearStrong was founded in 2013 with the goal of inspiring a mass hearing healthcare awareness movement. An estimated 48 million Americans experience hearing loss, and 80% of these individuals let it go unaddressed. This could be due to barriers such as social stigmas, financial difficulties, lack of awareness and resources, and more. In response to this need, HearStrong began recognizing and sharing the stories of remarkable people with hearing loss in an effort to empower and inspire others to take control of their hearing health. The HearStrong Foundation recognizes outstanding adults and children with hearing loss and gives them a platform to empower and serve others in need of hearing care. Learn More!

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
