What We Can Help With

Hearing Testing

Our comprehensive evaluation looks beyond pass/fail to see how you hear in real Sonoma settings—Plaza restaurants, tasting patios, and family gatherings.

Hearing Aid Fitting

During your custom fitting we program profiles for dining, outdoor wind, music/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 music, tools, and winery operations—protect hearing while preserving clarity.

Tuned for Sonoma Life

Plaza & Restaurants: speech-in-noise tools keep conversation clear in lively dining rooms and patios around the Square.
Trails & Parks: wind control helps on Sonoma Overlook Trail, Maxwell Farms paths, and the Sonoma Bike Path.
Venues & Community: “venue” profiles for Sebastiani Theatre shows, farmers markets, and local events.
Home & Family: gentle listening settings for quiet evenings and small-group conversation.

“Worth the short drive—dinners on the Plaza are enjoyable again, and I can follow conversation without guessing.”
— Elena R., Sonoma resident

“They combined my test and consult in one visit and tuned a ‘venue’ program for the theatre. Big difference.”
— David K., Sonoma Valley
