“I truly appreciate the modern day hearing aid. I have had them 2 years, lately with Dr. Kailey Murphy. Every day I welcome conversations on a phone, in restaurant, with one person or in a group, watching TV, listening to music. Dr. Kailey Murphy is a thorough, uber innovative, unflappable audiologist. ”

“This is a review of my interaction with Dr. Kailey Murphy, Doctor of Audiology, at the Hearing and Brain Center of Austin, Texas. My examination was extensive. Going into this I knew I had a hearing loss in my right ear. After an initial question and answer session the examination showed a significant hearing loss in the left ear as well. My score was around 70%. A big surprise! After choosing my hearing aids, Oticon Real 1R , Dr. Murphy programmed the hearing aids. Next she administered the hearing test again. I got a score of 100%. I have peripheral neuropathy in my fingers and had trouble putting my hearing aids in! Dr. Murphy suggested taking a mold of my ear canal so I could try a different kind of hearing aid. On a follow-up visit my new hearing aids made from the molds were ready for me to try. It made all the difference and I was able to place the devices in my ear with ease. Next Dr. Murphy tweaked the programming of the hearing aids. This was done after placing a microphone in the ear canal and actually capturing the audio transmitted by the hearing aids! A test new to me. I was very impressed with the whole process. The benefits of a state of the art hearing aid is phenomenal! Case in point was a visit to a restaurant and being able to carry on a conversation with all that back ground noise. I would highly recommend Dr. Murphy and the Hearing and Brain Center to anyone having hearing problems. I am wearing my hearing aids all day long with no problems. ”

“After reading Saleem's Better Hearing weekly articles in the local news paper for over a year, I finally decided to talk to Brenda and make an appointment. Saleem cleaned my ear canals and gave me a hearing test to determine my hearing loss. After receiving your new hearing aids, Saleem goes the extra mile explaining every step and make sure you are comfortable with the fitting and adjust the sound as needed. I highly recommend Better Hearing Center for your hearing needs”

“What an empowering 1 1/2 hour appointment with Better Hearing! After my ear cleaning and exam, I learned just how poor my hearing is. Then I was given hearing aids to try, after they were programmed for me. Never again do I intend to fumble around trying to figure out what people are saying to me! It was a beautiful thing to hear so easily, comfortably, and to learn listening to music will once again be part of my life. Aids even were programmed with white noise to lessen the ringing in the ear. Wonderful! From the first phone call to Brenda, who is efficient, easy to talk to, through all interactions with Saleem, I feel I struck a gold mine. He is an easy to be with person who did not make me nervous, a health care person who understands his profession and helps us to understand his profession.”

“Saleem is the consummate professional. I have used his service for nearly a decade, always buying one of his recycled hearing aids, which fit my budget. (And which funds are put in his charity fund. My first hearing aids purchase went to the Make a Wish foundation.) Although he has not made a personal profit from me, he takes as many appointments as necessary for my needs and is totally caring and thorough. I just cannot recommend him too highly!”

I highly recommend Saleem Assaf for your hearing concerns and solutions to problems you may be experiencing with hearing loss.”

“I am very pleased with Saleem’s services. He is very patient and works diligently to ensure that instruments fit properly and are programmed to meet the user’s needs. I am particularly impressed with his efforts to teach patients how to clean their hearing aids. I previously had instruments fitted and serviced with an audiologist in a ENT physician’s office. I would go in a couple of times a year for cleaning, but he never offered to teach me how to do it myself. I also always felt a little guilty about going in, as it was not really encouraged. When I acquired my current instruments 4 years ago, a new Oticon model was being introduced. I made appointments with both Saleem and the audiologist to learn about it. The contrast in presentations sealed the deal for me. Again, no mention was made by the audiologist of providing instruction on cleaning. So far, Saleem has set annual appointments to check on my current instruments; there’s been a hearing test every two years. I also need to mention Brenda. She’s at the south office, while I see Saleem at the north office. I’ve never met Brenda in person, but in phone-mode only her friendliness and ability to answer many questions are evident. The only thing missing are those baked goodies!”

“I simply can't say enough good things about Saleem, Brenda and the Better Hearing Center of Austin on William Cannon Road. They are always so thorough in everything they do. Saleem is amazing in that he explains each step he is going to take when he is doing the exam; preparing you and teaching you how to use the hearing aid devices. I am so impressed with my new "bluetooth" Octicon hearing aids. I've been going there for a few years now and highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.”

“In the first trial week with OPN 1's, I could definitely hear better, but I was still unsure that I needed hearing assistance. After the four week trial period and having learned to use the settings, I have become so appreciative of being able to hear my wife, hear conversations in busy restaurants and at meetings, and to realize I can hear the ambient sounds that I had lost and forgotten. ”
