Local care, close by
the Bay Area
Across the Bay Area, patients choose us for meticulous diagnostics, honest technology recommendations, and specialized tinnitus expertise, with the continuity of seeing the same audiologist every visit. It's why some are willing to drive well past a dozen closer options to reach us.

A premier practice patients travel to reach
Most of our patients come from the Peninsula and the cities just north and south of us. But a fair number make longer drives — from the East Bay, the North Bay, wine country, and Solano — because they're after something specific: complex tinnitus care, Lenire treatment, a fitting that's been difficult elsewhere, or a thorough second opinion. For routine care we always encourage patients to consider someone close to home; where distance is worth it is specialized expertise, and we structure longer visits to make every trip count.
Serving patients from across the region
The Bay Area's hearing needs are as varied as its geography. Coastal and bayside communities from Half Moon Bay to the Sunset contend with marine humidity that's hard on hearing aids; office and tech hubs from San Francisco down through Silicon Valley bring demanding, noisy listening environments; and inland and wine-country areas send patients who've decided specialized care is worth a longer drive. Centrally located on the Peninsula, we see people from all of it — and we tailor each fitting to the environments a patient actually lives and works in.
The hearing aids we fit
If tinnitus is part of why you are looking, technology choice narrows quickly — one current flagship has no tinnitus program at all, while others build in configurable sound therapy. Our San Mateo office covers both the devices and the wider tinnitus care around them, so the conversation is not only about which hearing aid.
Getting to us from the Bay Area
Central to the Peninsula, within reach of the whole Bay Area. Our San Mateo and San Carlos offices sit centrally on the Peninsula, within reach of San Francisco, Silicon Valley, the East Bay, and the North Bay — patients travel to us from across the region, some from as far as Napa. Booking is simple — call 650-342-9449 and we'll handle the rest.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the Bay Area
Do patients really travel from across the Bay Area to see you?
Yes. While most come from the Peninsula, patients travel from San Francisco, the South Bay, the East Bay, and the North Bay — some from as far as Napa — mainly for specialized tinnitus care and complex cases.
Should I travel to you or find someone closer?
For routine hearing tests and standard hearing aids, a local provider is usually the practical choice. The drive to us tends to be worth it for specialized tinnitus treatment, Lenire, difficult fittings, or a careful second opinion.
Where are your offices located?
We have two Peninsula offices — San Mateo at 88 N. San Mateo Drive and San Carlos at 1008 Laurel Street, about eight minutes apart. Call 650-342-9449 to find the one that's most convenient.
