Hearing Professionals of Alabama is an Audiology Private Practice founded by Beth Hoven, Au.D. Beth and Allison both received their Doctorate of Audiology from Auburn University. The two spent time working together at a local ENT in Montgomery, Alabama from 2010 - 2013. In Summer 2013, Allison left to pursue her dream of working full time with Pediatrics in Birmingham, Alabama. Beth remained at the ENT, and she continued to function as the Director of Audiology Services. In March of 2014 a little dream was born. Beth and Allison had often talked about what it would be like to own their own practice, but it wasn't until Allison's 18 month old son was diagnosed with hearing loss that this idea started to come to life. This was devastating for Allison and her family; however, they now realize this was a blessing in disguise. Along with a diagnosis of hearing loss comes the need for numerous appointments with the child's Audiologist and Auditory Verbal Therapist. Beth and Allison quickly realized just how much Central and East Alabama needed a place close to home to seek both of the above professionals. There are countless families who drive several hours, as often as every 2 months, for their Audiology services. On top of this, these families are also driving distances in order to get speech therapy from a trained Auditory Verbal Therapist. This was the final push they needed to pursue the adventure of opening their own practice. Hearing Professionals of Alabama will provide hearing healthcare services to both the Adult and Pediatric Population. There is no one they won't see! They will offer diagnostic audiology, hearing aid consultations, hearing aid fittings, Tinnitus Evaluations/Management, Auditory Brainstem Response testing, Auditory Processing Disorder testing, and hearing conservation services. In addition, they will be available to make swim plugs, musicians plugs, shooters plugs, etc.. Beth and Allison are passionate about providing quality Audiology services with a smile. Hearing is such an important part of life without which communication with loved ones becomes difficult. Hearing Professionals of Alabama hopes to help provide everyone with the opportunity to be, and hear, their best!

One of my favorite things to see at appointments? A “second set of ears.”

A patient once asked, “Do I really need to bring someone? I don’t want to bother them.” And look, I get that. But I also know that I’ve gone to appointments alone and forgotten half of what I was told. 🫣

Here’s why we encourage it: a spouse, adult child, or friend can help you remember instructions, ask questions, and support you as you adjust.

When that patient brought their spouse next time, everything felt easier: less stress and more confidence when they got back home. So if you have an upcoming visit, consider bringing someone with you! 😉

“Does ear candling work?” 🕯️

We get this question all the time!

Despite popular claims, ear candling is both ineffective and unsafe. The waxy residue left behind comes from the candle, not your ear, and the hollow candle means hot wax can drip into the ear canal.

Ouch! 😬

For safe and effective ear wax removal, it’s always best to leave it to a trained professional. Your ears are too important to risk!! 👂

Regular exercise keeps your heart strong and blood flowing to your brain and ears. That circulation supports both hearing and memory.

It doesn’t have to be strenuous to be beneficial, a large study finds

I get it… insurance changes can feel so overwhelming!

We’ll help you sort out next steps, like what may be covered, what might require authorization, and what your options are so you’re not guessing.

If you’re confused about your new Medicare plan, call us! We’ll help you get clarity before you schedule!

Hi! I’m Autumn, your Patient Care Coordinator at HPOAL- Auburn👋

Autumn was born and raised in the Opelika-Auburn area. She graduated from Ballard Christian School in 2015. Autumn has previously worked as an operations manager in retail. She enjoys spending time with her husband outdoors and going on family road trips. Autumn is an active member of The City Church in Opelika and sings on their worship team. She is the friendly voice you will hear when you call to schedule your appointments, and is happy to assist our patients in the office!

If you’ve ever scheduled an appointment, called with a question, or walked in unsure, chances are you’ve talked to me. Since I’ve already introduced myself before, here’s a little extra for February:

At Hearing Professionals of Alabama , my goal is always to make your visit feel welcome, because I know coming in can feel like a big step. You shouldn’t have to navigate it alone! 💞

“Does more expensive automatically mean better?” 🤔

At Hearing Professionals of Alabama, we always say a premium device isn’t always the best choice. It depends on you!

Premium technology can be amazing (especially for people who spend a lot of time in noise, meetings, restaurants, or large family gatherings). But if your biggest goal is hearing your spouse at home and TV more clearly, a top-tier model may be more than you need.

Our philosophy is simple 👇

We want you to go with the minimum technology you need to get your maximum communication success. We consider factors such as your hearing test, your lifestyle, and your listening goals, then make our recommendation.

If you’re hearing aid shopping and want a no-pressure conversation, send us a message or call our office. We’ll walk you through the options so you feel confident about what you’re choosing.

New hearing aid research reinforces something we see in the clinic every day: there’s no one perfect hearing aid setting. Some people want a fast reaction to changes in sound. Others want a smoother, slower response. Interestingly, preference often depends on the type and degree of hearing loss!

Translation: if your hearing aids ever sound “too sharp,” “too loud suddenly,” or like speech is “clear but not comfortable,” that’s not you being picky, that’s a setting we can fine-tune!

If you’re not loving how things sound lately, schedule a quick check!!

Based on findings published in Ear & Hearing (Windle, Dillon, Heinrich).

This Valentine’s Day, show your heart AND your hearing some love.

Your heart and ears are more connected than you think. The tiny sensory cells in your inner ear depend on strong blood flow to function properly, so when heart health declines, hearing can suffer too.

Studies show that cardiovascular conditions like high blood pressure may increase the risk of hearing loss. (Source: American Journal of Audiology)

Taking care of your heart isn't just about longevity; it’s also about staying connected to the world around you through better hearing. 👂 So, if you've noticed changes in your hearing or want to make sure everything's in working order, we're here to help! ❤️

Your heart health and hearing health are more connected than you might think!

Good blood flow is essential for the tiny sensory cells in your inner ear to work properly. 🩸 When your heart and blood vessels aren’t pumping well, these cells can get damaged, leading to hearing loss. That’s why conditions like high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease can increase your risk of hearing problems. Taking care of your heart means taking care of your ears too! 👂

If you’ve noticed any changes in your hearing or want to make sure your ears are in tip-top shape, send me a message or call to schedule a hearing exam.

Did you know your ears are self-cleaning? 😮

Tiny hairs inside the ear canal naturally move earwax outward over time. When you use Q-tips or other objects, the wax often just gets pushed deeper instead of removed, leading to blockages, muffled hearing, or discomfort. ❌

If your ears feel full, itchy, or clogged, it’s best to have them checked by a professional rather than trying to fix it yourself. We’re here to help keep your ears safe and clear! 🦻
