What We Can Help With

Hearing Testing

Our comprehensive evaluation looks beyond pass/fail to see how you hear in real Benicia settings—First Street patios, waterfront walks, and family gatherings.

Hearing Aid Fitting

During your custom fitting we program profiles for wind by the Strait, busy restaurants, venues, and quiet home listening—rechargeable and Bluetooth-ready.

Tinnitus Therapy

Peaceful evenings can make tinnitus feel louder. Our tinnitus care blends counseling, sound therapy, and device-based relief.

Custom Protection

Custom ear protection for concerts, shop floors, and DIY—protect hearing while preserving clarity.

Tuned for Benicia Life

First Street & Waterfront: speech-in-noise tools and wind control for patio dining, markets, and marina walks.
Benicia State Recreation Area: environmental adaptation keeps voices intelligible on breezy trails and open overlooks.
Historic Capitol & Galleries: “reverberant spaces” profiles improve clarity in high-ceiling rooms and art venues.
Arsenal/Industrial Areas: for sustained machinery noise, ask about custom protection and fatigue-reducing strategies.
Parks & Sports: Community Park, Jack London Fields—profiles for sidelines, announcements, and group chatter.
Commute: I-680/I-780 driving and the Benicia-Martinez Bridge—Bluetooth streaming keeps calls and GPS clear.

“Worth the short drive—conversation on First Street is easy again, and wind by the water isn’t overwhelming.”
— Dana P., Downtown Benicia

“They combined my evaluation and consult in one visit and set profiles for the State Recreation Area and restaurant nights.”
— Miguel A., Southampton

Can you combine testing and consultation to save a trip?

Whenever possible, yes. We streamline visits so you get clear next steps without multiple drives.

Will hearing aids help with waterfront wind?

Yes—advanced wind-noise reduction and directional microphones improve clarity along the Carquinez Strait and marina.

What about echo in historic or gallery spaces?

We add a “reverberant spaces” profile that emphasizes speech cues and reduces reflected sound in tall, open rooms.

We do—see our custom hearing protection for workshops, machinery, and concerts.

We program “busy dining” settings during your fitting to keep conversation clear in crowds.
