“Cooper was excellent. She gave me a thorough hearing test and then did a clear job of explaining the next steps. I enjoyed my experience, and I plan on using this clinic as my audiologist going forward! ”
“I was given an appointment within one day due to a problem with my eyes. I was visiting here from Nashville, TN. The audiologist Cooper gave me a thorough checkup and was able to make my eyes more comfortable. I am grateful for the excellent care I received. ”
“From first contact, I was treated very professionally and kind. The staff made me feel so comfortable. Hearing Test and consultation were excellent. No pressure, but very good Information. I left a new person with 2 new Hearing Aids. I highly recommend Birmingham Speech and Hearing Associates.”
“ I visited Birmingham Speech & Hearing Associates for tinnitus, a high-pitched ringing sound, and dizziness that had been bothering me for over 20 years. Audiologist Cooper Evans explained the hearing test process and conducted a comprehensive hearing examination, which revealed mild to moderate hearing loss in both ears. She recommended treatment with hearing aids and generously allowed me to try them without any commitment. The hearing aids significantly improved my hearing, even though they didn't make my tinnitus disappear. In addition, she referred me to an ENT physician for further evaluation of a possible hearing problem that she identified during the examination. Notably, the clinic provided the test and consultation at no charge. If you're dealing with hearing issues, Birmingham Speech & Hearing Associates is a highly recommended place to get tested.”
“Leslie recommended that I get a new travel charger for my hearing aids and I love it! It is great for a weekend trip and I even took it camping. There are no cords to keep up with and I like that it closes over my hearing aids for more protection. Thanks Leslie!”
