Custom Hearing Protection
Atherton residents choose us for meticulous testing, premium technology matched honestly to their needs, and specialized tinnitus care — with the continuity of seeing the same audiologist each time. Many first came for tinnitus or Lenire treatment and stayed for the whole of their hearing care.
For Atherton patients specifically, that means custom-molded hearing protection for musicians, shooters, motorcyclists, industrial workers, and anyone regularly around loud sound — protection that guards your hearing while keeping sound natural. Learn more about our custom hearing protection approach.

Discreet technology and unhurried, private care
Atherton patients often prioritize two things: hearing that keeps up with an active professional and social life, and technology that stays discreet. Modern invisible and receiver-in-canal hearing aids deliver both, and getting the most out of them depends on expert fitting and verification rather than the device alone. We take the time to program, verify, and fine-tune — and to keep it all private and unrushed.
A residential town that travels for its care
Atherton is almost entirely residential by design — estate lots and tree canopy across Lindenwood, West Atherton, and Lloyden Park, with Holbrook-Palmer Park at its center and no commercial strip to speak of. Residents are used to traveling a few minutes for services, and hearing care is no exception. Many are active professionals and community members who want technology that keeps up with a full calendar while staying completely discreet, and the unhurried privacy of an independent practice over a big-box counter.
The hearing aids we fit
Bluetooth has finally moved on. The newest devices, Oticon Reveal among them, support LE Audio and Auracast broadcast audio, which lets you receive sound directly in venues that offer it. Several competing flagships still list it as pending a firmware update. If loops, theatres or lecture halls matter to your week, that difference is worth getting right before you buy, and we will check it against where you actually go.
Getting to us from Atherton
About 12–15 minutes from our San Carlos office, down the 101 or El Camino.

Give us a call at 650-342-9449 and we'll make the trip as easy as possible.
Frequently asked questions
What patients often want to know
Do you make custom hearing protection for Atherton patients?
Yes. We take ear impressions and fit custom-molded protection at our San Carlos office for musicians, shooters, motorcyclists, and anyone regularly around loud sound.
Why not just use foam earplugs?
Custom protection fits precisely and can keep sound natural rather than muffled, so you protect your hearing without losing the music, speech, or situational awareness you need.
