My experience with The Hearing Guy has been very positive thus far. At our first meeting he began by explaining hearing loss and going from there about what might help me. He spent nearly 2 hours with me and never appeared to be in a hurry. I have had my hearing aids for several days and I’m very pleased with them. I can hear better with these hearing aids than I ever could with my old ones from another source.

I went to The Hearing Guy because it was highly recommended by several of my friends. Dr. Steele gave a great explanation of hearing and hearing aids. He is very professional and personable. He answered all of my questions. I highly recommend.

I am not of an age that would typically need a hearing aid. Knowing this, the Dr. still welcomed me to come and get a free hearing test. When tested, he taught me quite a lot about how the ear works! He gave me a recommendation for a specialist and I left with my test results in hand. He spent a good amount of time with me knowing, from the beginning, that I was not going to buy hearing aids from him. All of this at no cost to me. I was very impressed!

Dr Steele is a very caring and down to earth guy. My mom was somewhat reluctant about needing a hearing aid but Dr Steele eased her mind and showed us how having the right hearing aid could improve her quality of life. He has gone above and beyond what most doctors do, and we are very grateful. Him and his staff are the best and always treat us like family. I highly recommend The Hearing Guy, I promise you will not be disappointed!!

I had my hearing screened when I accompanied my spouse to his appointment. Dr.Steele explained the process to both of us, provided extensive testing for my spouse and while we both show some normal hearing loss for our ages, neither of us had signifocant deficits and he did not feel that it required the investment in expensive equipment, etc. at this time! He was personable, direct, thorough and honest. A++

Brent really cares about his clients. He and his staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable with the process. No one wants to admit that theyre struggling with their hearing, it makes you feel a bit self-conscious. That said, its good to know that there are services out there that can help you regain what youve lost. Brent will take the time to provide you with the best solution for your particular situation. Give The Hearing Guy a call today!

I am new to Dr. Brent Steeles practice. Over the last 7 years I have been to 3 audiologists in Asheville trying to figure out hearing aids and their suitability for me. Dr Steele is the ONLY one who took time for adequate education even before he began testing. When I decided on the appropriate choice, he gave me options on what was the best approach to payment. For the record, he was $2,000 less expensive for the same product I tried out 2 years ago. He has been great about making sure I am happy with my choice and being available if I need support.As a Nurse Practitioner I can spot caring and skill when I see it. Dr. Steele has both. I highly recommend himLaurie

I highly recommend the Hearing Guy for your hearing aid needs. I am fairly young and have experienced significant hearing loss. I was hesitant to get hearing aids because of being self conscious. and all the other store bought aids had not worked for me. Dr. Brent Steele was amazingly thorough in his explanation of my type of hearing loss. His friendly at ease personality made me feel comfortable and did not feel like he was pitching me a sale. His detailed and tailored hearing exam ensured that I had the right fit and type of aid that would benefit me the best. I was blown away by the crystal clear sound I had been missing for soo long. I left there feeling hopeful that I finally found someone that could help me. Go see the Hearing Guy. you wont be disappointed.

I was not excited about the thought of wearing hearing aids. Last year I was referred to Brent at The Hearing Guy. He made it so easy to understand and made sure I was happy with my choice in devices. I have been back twice in the last 18 months and he and his staff have been wonderful! I highly recommend them and have been so glad I took the plunge with the hearing aids! Didn’t want to miss anything, and thanks to them I won’t!

I originally went here for a hearing aid and in the short term, it was a successful noninvasive treatment. Unfortunately, soon after I got the hearing aid, my hearing began deteriorating more drastically and the hearing aid proved ineffective for my medical situation. This has been a very difficult and frustrating time for me and my experience at The Hearing Guy only made it worse.Upon inquiring about a partial refund for the product, it became clear to me that patient well-being was not Dr. Steele’s primary concern. He lacked compassion when it came to my hearing loss and was condescending towards me by comparing my hearing aid to purchasing a washer and dryer and trying to return it a year after the point of sale. I would not recommend The Hearing Guy to someone that values grade-A customer service. I am fairly certain I was stigmatized due to my age.

Ive checked out several audiologists in the Asheville area, and I strongly recommend Dr. Brent Steele, the Hearing Guy on Hendersonville Road. Its refreshing to talk to someone this open and honest about hearing loss and the various devices. He clarified several issues and taught me a great deal. For once, I found an audiologist that didnt make me feel like I was bargaining with a car sales person. I dont know about you, but I need an intelligent audiologist I can trust.

I went in for a hearing checkup and calibration of my hearing aids. The service was excellent, and Dr. Steele was extremely knowledgeable and took lots of time to make sure I was getting the best amplification out of my hearing aids. I had not purchased them from him, as I purchased them while living in Florida, but he was extremely familiar with my model and manufacturer, and in fact offers the same ones as part of his portfolio of hearing devices to choose from. He literally took them apart, cleaned and calibrated and my hearing test helped determine what new programs and amplification changes I needed. I would highly recommend anyone who is considering hearing aids or would like to be evaluated come and visit them.

I had a very positive experience taking my mother to The Hearing Guy for hearing aids. He is patient and approachable and I have a feeling he is honest and not just in it for the money.He has a very friendly and competent front desk person. They have two convenient locations that are easy to find and get in and out of.in both Hendersonville & Asheville. The hearing aids were much less then my mother had been quoted from a different practice. My mother is very happy with the set of hearing aids!! They have greatly benefited her quality of life.

I have been wearing hearing aids for four years and they just were not working for me. I was struggling to hear my husband and the TV. Dr. Steel fitted me with a hearing aid that dramatically improved my hearing. I am now the one asking to turn down the TV and I can easily hear my husband.Dr. Steel was very patient and informative when explaining my hearing loss and helping my try on a couple of hearing aids. It is such a relief to be able to hear better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Steele and his family are welcoming and understanding of the patients needs. He asks a lot of questions to get a comprehensive understanding of what would be the best product for you and what you are missing out on. The financing is very good and the service is awesome!

I would like to share with you my experience with Dr. Brent Steele and his wife LeslieWhen I first found out I had lost a lot of hearing in my left ear and some in the right ear, I was somewhat devastated. Not knowing a lot about hearing Loss and hearing aids, I was led to The Hearing Guy, from my Supplement Insurance Co. I am so thankful and grateful that Dr. Steele was recommended to me. From day one he has been such a help to me. He always, and I say always has taken time with me and answered all of my questions and I never was made feel like they were silly questions He also included my husband when I talked with him. And I appreciated that. He has taken the time to make me feel comfortable with my hearing aids, and I wear them from the time I get up until I go to bed at night. I have recommended Dr. Steele to many of my family and friends. And if you are reading this, and are not sure, I would be glad to share my experience with you. The Starkey hearing aids are the best. They are programmed to fit your personal needs.Thank you Dr. Steele for your consideration and patience with me. And I highly recommend you.You are awesome,Shirley Arrowood

I went with my father to his initial appointment and I was very impressed with Dr. Steele!! The way he explained the difference in HEARING VS CLARITY, why my dad struggles in noisy restaurants, and why his TV is turned up so loud now makes complete sense!! He performed the test and in-detail explained the difference between the lower cost aids vs the most expensive ones and how it related to my fathers particular loss (and also his lifestyle). Based on his recommendation we ended up choosing the rechargeable ones that go behind your ear. My mother and I are amazed how great he is doing and are so thankful we took him to THE HEARING GUY!!

Dr. Steele fitted me with a pair of hearing aids and the result was nothing short of miraculous. For the first time in years I did not have to ask everyone to repeat themselves. Dr. Steele is most eager to help you hear better and knows exactly what he is doing. I could not have had a better experience. Dont wait as long as I did to get your hearing up to par.

I took my 91 year old father to The Hearing Guy with hope that he could improve dad’s hearing. My father was on his second hearing aid and we were doubtful we would have success. Dr Steele worked with my dad and decided to change the brand of hearing aid. We have been so pleased with the results... he can hear the tv ( no more closed captions), he joins in conversations in a restaurant and can now can have phone conversations. All aspects of his life have been improved. Thank you Dr Steele!

Although my husband bought his hearing aid in Florida, Brent solved problems he was having with it and has kept it in great running condition. He is extremely knowledgeable, considerate, and charges very fairly for his services. As a plus, hes friendly and easy to talk to. Tell him your hearing problems, and hell find a solution.

My experience with Doctor Steele at Zounds could not have been called anything but perfect. I was impressed with his friendly, professional and thorough knowledge of all types of hearing loss. To say I am a satisfied customer would be an understatement. Doctor Steele explains everything connected with your hearing loss clearly and what hearing aid would benefit your hearing loss best. If quality and price matter, check out Zounds and Doctor Steele before you purchase your hearing aid.

After five years of intermittently using another brand of hearing aids I made the decision to meet with Brent. In the past I dreaded the thought of putting on my uncomfortable and antiquated hearing aids. It was a constant struggle of being uncomfortable and constantly confused during conversations and social events. During my home consultation and fitting Brent introduced me to a set of Starky hearing aids. I was amazed that these hearing aids not only adapted to my home environment, but they can also blue tooth to my cell phone. My family is beyond ecstatic that they no longer have to endure my excessively loud T.V. or my shouting into my cell phone. Brent was sensitive to my needs and patiently included my family in the fitting and adjustment process. I am two weeks into my new hearing aids and I couldn’t be happier. I strongly recommend Brent for not only his technical expertise but also his empathy and patience. I feel confident that Brent will be there for me in my future needs. I would recommend him to anyone considering improving their day to day life. Roy Scott Cannady

What we like most about Zounds is the personal attention we receive. Dr. Steele always comes to our home with the latest technology to test our hearing or make the necessary adjustments to our hearing aids. We highly recommend this company.Jan and Dewey JohnsonHendersonville, NC

My mother had become quite uncomfortable with a high pitched sound in one of her aids. Brent not only found the issue, fixed it, but also helped my mother be confident with her hearing devices once again. She very securely stated that he is not just the Hearing Guy...He is her Hearing Guy. Thank you, Brent.
