A board-certified audiologist with 35 years experience, Dr. Melissa Richardson at Hearing Solutions enjoys helping people recover their gift of hearing.
“I’ve always felt my services have the ability to help each and every patient trying to hear their family and friends,” she said.
A Hoover resident, Richardson said she and Dr. Dana Walchek offer hearing and balance testing and treatment to patients of all ages.
“We test people from babies to geriatrics, regardless of age,” she said.
Hearing Solutions can assess hearing acuity, hearing loss from aging, ringing in the ears and dizziness. They’re also available for pre-employment testing and follow-up for failed work or school hearing screenings.
Richardson and Walchek provide hearing aids and assistive listening devices, including custom earplugs for musicians and swimmers.
“We provide hearing protection devices for hunting, shooting and work in noisy environments,” Richardson said. “Some even use HPD for yard work or woodworking hobbies.”
Hearing Solutions tailors its services for each patient and follows a clear mission.
“We treat every patient equally, with a caring attitude and a focus to help in the most cost-effective way,” Richardson said.
To keep patients safe during COVID-19, Hearing Solutions is currently working by appointment only.
“We provide curbside services for patients having hearing aid or assistive listening problems,” Richardson said. “We allow them to stay in their vehicle and take the devices into the office for repairs or services."
