McKinney audiologist Liz Brassine has earned a lone list
of credentials after her name—Au.D. CCC-A, FAAA—but
opening up her own audiology practice 14 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.D., joined Hearing Services of McKinney
10 years ago. Together, they offer personal attention, service,
and hearing aid knowledge that you can’t get from a chain or
big box store.
