Local care, close by
Lenire Tinnitus Treatment
Burlingame patients come to us because we are the closest independent audiology practice for many of them, and because they want more than a big-box hearing aid transaction. We provide diagnostic testing, real-ear-verified fittings, tinnitus care, and repairs, with the same audiologist each visit.
For Burlingame patients specifically, that means Lenire, a bimodal (sound plus mild tongue stimulation) tinnitus treatment, delivered by an audiology team experienced in selecting the right candidates and coaching them through the protocol. Learn more about our lenire tinnitus treatment approach.

Living under SFO's flight path and what it means for your hearing
Much of Burlingame sits beneath SFO's arrival and departure corridors, and residents near the Bayfront or Broadway know the sound of jets overhead. Everyday overflight noise is usually more nuisance than hazard — but occupational exposure is different. If you work at or near the airport, in the Bayfront hotels, or around ground equipment, years on the job can quietly add up to noise-induced hearing loss. It is gradual and easy to miss until conversations start slipping, so a baseline hearing test — and custom protection where it makes sense — is simple prevention.
From Burlingame Avenue to the Bayfront
Burlingame packs a lot into a small city: the walkable Burlingame Avenue and Broadway shopping districts, the leafy Easton Addition, Washington Park, and the Bayfront hotel row that backs right up to SFO. That range matters for hearing care — a retiree strolling Burlingame Ave has very different listening needs than someone working the airport hotels or commuting the Bayshore. We fit and verify hearing aids for those specific environments, and we keep Mills-Peninsula-area patients close to home for follow-up.
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 Burlingame
About 10 minutes from our San Mateo office, straight up El Camino or the 101. We are an easy drive from Burlingame Avenue, Broadway, the Mills-Peninsula area, and the Bayfront hotels, all within roughly 10 minutes of the office. Call 650-342-9449 and we'll help you plan the visit around parking and timing.

Yes. Tinnitus can occasionally signal something treatable, so we evaluate before recommending a plan and refer for medical follow-up when the findings warrant it.
