Being a sound professional my hearing is particularly important. Melissa Alexander has over and over gone out if her way to outfit me with the most state of the art hearing aids. Carefully adjusting them and tweaking them until I was hearing comfortably and could trust that what I hear is accurate.

This is your guy! I went to a number of different places before choosing to stick with Dr. Kirsch and I'm so glad I did. On a practical level, he was able to work with my small budget and I'm really happy with the hearing aid I got.

I've sent my mom, my best friends dad, and many others to Stephen for hearing aids and they've all had similarly wonderful experiences.

- Brian

From the moment I met him I felt comfortable, there was never any pressure. He was patient and I felt he really cared about my needs. I told him I was hearing aid phobic and embarrassed to wear them. He showed me a pair so small that anybody would have to look really hard at to see them.
