The Hearing Guy

The Hearing Guy We are a locally owned business that is committed to providing high quality hearing healthcare. We re He's not just The Hearing Guy. He's your Hearing Guy.

The Hearing Guy is an independent hearing clinic serving Asheville and Hendersonville, NC since 2014. Founded by Dr. Brent Steele, MD, BC-HIS, we're not a franchise and not locked into one manufacturer — we work with all major hearing aid brands (Phonak, Oticon, ReSound, Starkey, Unitron, Signia, and Widex) so the recommendation you get is the one that's actually right for your hearing, your lifestyle, and your budget. What makes us different is what we call Experience Hearing — instead of fitting hearing aids in a quiet office and hoping for the best, Dr. Steele tests and adjusts your devices in the real environments where you struggle: restaurant noise, your car, a grocery store. Your hearing aids should work where you actually live, not just where they were fitted. Services include comprehensive hearing evaluations, hearing aid fittings and programming (with Live Speech Mapping), hearing aid repairs and cleanings, tinnitus evaluation and management, cerumen (earwax) removal, and custom hearing protection and earmolds. We're in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC, United Healthcare, Aetna and we offer special financing — plus a free hearing consultation, free hearing test, free demonstration, and a free pack of batteries when you visit. If you've been turning the TV up, asking people to repeat themselves, or quietly stepping back from conversations, we'd be glad to help you sort it out. Call (828) 274-6913 to schedule your free hearing consultation.

A safe cleaning routine starts with clean, dry hands and the instructions for your exact hearing aid. Gently wipe the exterior, keep microphones and charging contacts clear, and stop if a part does not move as expected.

Traveling with hearing aids is easier when the essentials are packed and tested before you leave.

Save this checklist: charger or fresh batteries, cleaning tools, a protective case, the accessories you actually use, and your provider's contact information.

Test everything before departure. If you need help with your devices before a trip, call The Hearing Guy at (828) 274-6913.

Western North Carolina rain, perspiration, condensation, and quick temperature changes can all introduce moisture around hearing devices. Daily drying habits can help, but the right method depends on the exact model and charger.

New hearing aid technology can be useful, but newer is not automatically better for every person. The meaningful questions are whether a feature helps in your real listening situations, works with the devices you use, and can be supported over time.

Independent, family-owned care means familiar faces and decisions shaped around the person in front of us. The Hearing Guy is not tied to one manufacturer, so the conversation can focus on your hearing, your daily life, and the support you want after the fitting.

Ask Dr. Steele: Do my hearing aids work with Auracast?

The honest answer depends on the exact model, firmware, phone, and the equipment sending the audio. A general Bluetooth label does not confirm Auracast support.

We have been so busy, we called in reinforcements. Jack volunteered for lobby hydration. His official job title is still under review, but the snack budget has already doubled. 😄

Family owned really does mean everyone pitches in at The Hearing Guy.
