About Birmingham Speech & Hearing Associates
Birmingham Speech & Hearing Associates was the first private audiology and speech clinic in Birmingham. But we weren’t just satisfied being the only audiology practice in town — we had to make sure we offered the highest quality of care and most advanced audiology services possible. Since then, we’ve continued to provide our patients with professional, compassionate care. We have many patients and their families who have trusted us with their hearing healthcare for decades and even generations.
In 2019, leadership of Birmingham Speech & Hearing Associates passed into the hands of audiologist Dr. Leslie Crawford, who has been part of our team for more than ten years. She is looking forward to continuing the legacy of care and expertise that our practice has been known for and to serving the community she loves so much.
Our team members are all warm and friendly people with extensive experience and significant training in their fields. Together, we make up a family of professionals who truly care about you as an individual.
