From the pleasures of a movie, play or symphony, to social gatherings and day-to-day conversations, good hearing is a vital part of a full and active life.
If you think that you or a family member are missing out on the sounds of life, your next step should be a comprehensive hearing evaluation. If you live in Southern California, this can take place in the warm and friendly atmosphere of my Irvine Office.
If a hearing aid is required, I can fit you with the best available technology for your needs, in particular the new, highly effective, digital programmable models. I service and repair all brands of hearing aids. To maximize the benefits of hearing aids, I provide personal training on listening and communication skills. I also lead weekly and monthly discussion groups on hearing, listening and communications. These are free and take place in Irvine and Lake Forest, California. You are invited!
If you are not yet familiar with hearing loss and the services that can be provided by an audiologist, check out these pages on my website: understanding hearing loss, what you need to know, what an audiologist can do for you, and realistic expectations on what a hearing aid can do for you.
In addition to diagnosing hearing loss and improving hearing, I also provide ear plugs to protect the hearing of musicians, swimmers, airline travelers, hunters, and industrial workers. These include custom ear plugs, which require an office visit for a custom ear canal fitting, and stock ear plugs, which can be purchased on-line from this website.
I also improve student attention and achievement in the classroom with speaker systems, so all children can hear everything the teacher says.
The final element of my practice is the correction of Myofunctional Disorder (OMD), or Tongue Thrust Swallowing Disorder, where I provide evaluations and therapy sessions.
