Choosing the Right
Hearing Aids

Hearing aids aren’t a one size fits all solution. Our recommendations are personalized to your unique needs. Before we can suggest what hearing aids we think will give you the best results, we consider things like what locations you spend time in, what listening environments you have trouble hearing in, how severe your hearing loss is, what kind of hearing loss you have, and your budget.

Selecting the right hearing aid is a collaborative effort between our team and you. Whether you are interested in Bluetooth hearing aids or a rechargeable option, we carry a large selection of devices that can be tailored to you.

Hearing Aid Technology

Hearing aids are available in a variety of technology levels, all depending on what you need your hearing aids to do. Where you spend your time and where you have the most trouble hearing are key factors when deciding what level of technology will benefit you.

Premium Technology

Premium technology is good in just about any environment. It’s the best choice for patients who lead very active lives and who enjoy having technology at their fingertips.

Advanced Technology

Advanced technology is great for places like church, where you’re hearing at a distance. It is also suitable for the occasional crowded restaurant.

Standard Technology

Standard technology is a good fit for patients whose everyday lives include mostly get-togethers with family and friends and one-on-one conversations in quieter spaces.

Lyric
Hearing Aids

Lyric hearing aids are unlike any other hearing aid on the market. These are a completely invisible, hassle-free option that we place directly in your ear canal. For two months at a time, you can forget your Lyric hearing aids are even in your ears because you won’t have to take them out to clean them or change the battery. At the end of those two months, you will come back to our office and we’ll replace your hearing aids with another set. Birmingham Speech & Hearing Associates is the only Premiere Lyric provider in the Birmingham area. Lyric hearing aids aren’t suitable for every hearing loss, but many people have found them to be a life-changer.
