Local care, close by
Lenire Tinnitus Treatment
Palo Alto patients tend to be discerning and evidence-minded, and they choose us for measured, verified fittings rather than a quick sale. They also come for specialized tinnitus care and the continuity of seeing the same audiologist each visit, close enough that a follow-up never means a lost afternoon.
For Palo Alto 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.

Hearing well in demanding listening environments
For many Palo Alto patients, the challenge is not quiet conversation at home but the hard stuff: back-to-back meetings, open-plan offices, video calls, and noisy University Avenue restaurants. Following speech when several people talk at once is a specific skill, and off-the-shelf devices rarely solve it on their own. We use speech-in-noise testing and real-ear verification to fit and program hearing aids for exactly those settings, so you can keep up where it actually matters.
A city that never stops listening hard
From Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park to College Terrace and Professorville, and along the two downtowns of University Avenue and California Avenue, Palo Alto is full of people whose work depends on hearing every word. Add the Stanford campus and its lectures and events, and you have a community that needs clarity in complex, layered sound. For these patients we focus on speech-in-noise performance and precise verification, not just an audiogram, so hearing aids earn their keep in the rooms where the day happens.
The hearing aids we fit
We keep demonstration units of the current platforms at our San Carlos office, so patients from Palo Alto can hear the difference rather than read about it. A demonstration takes about half an hour and costs nothing. Bring a recent audiogram if you have one, or we can test first — and whatever you choose, the fitting is verified with real-ear measurement, which usually changes your result more than the platform does.
