Liz Brassine , Au . D . Audiologist

McKinney audiologist Liz Brassine has earned a long list of credentials after her name — Au . D . CCC-A , FAAA — but opening up her own audiology practice 15 years ago is among her proudest accomplishments . With a kind , caring , and compassionate manner , Dr . Brassine and her talented team at Hearing Services of McKinney have greatly improved the quality of life for their patients utilizing the latest in hearing innovations .
With an innate love of math and science , she started working for an audiologist in high school before earning Master of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in Audiology from Northwestern University . After graduate school , Dr . Brassine went on to work for two audiology practices before spending 10 years as the national training manager of a leading global hearing aid manufacturer . In 2002 , she obtained her Au . D . ( Doctor of Audiology ) from A . T . Still University .
In the decade Dr . Brassine spent training other hearing care professionals around the country in the fitting and dispensing of digital hearing aid technology , her understanding of the devices grew exponentially and provided her exceptional insight into their increasing capabilities . “ I was in the nitty gritty of hearing aids day in and day out ,” says Dr . Brassine , whose knowledge of hearing software , technology , and products is quite extensive .
With over 36 million Americans suffering from hearing loss , as the third most common health related problem in America , Dr . Brassine opened Hearing Services of McKinney to address this growing problem . To be able to serve an area near and dear to her heart , one where she ’ s chosen to make her home , is an added benefit . She knew her background both in hearing aid manufacturing and in private practice would make a difference in McKinney — and it has .
When Hearing Services of McKinney ’ s doors opened in 2006 , it was the only audiology practice in McKinney . “ In the beginning , it was just myself and a secretary .” Meanwhile , Cassandra Wilson , Au .
