Mathilde Tranberg
Cochlear Implant Outreach Ambassador
Mathilde was born profoundly deaf, and she received her first cochlear implant in Denmark when she was two years old. Four years later, she received her second cochlear implant in Sweden.
Mathilde shares that cochlear implants opened up a world of communication, connection, and opportunity for her. They empowered her to become a Division I college tennis athlete, earn a psychology degree from Long Beach State University, and to now use her voice to help others on their own cochlear implant journey.
At Pacific Hearing, Mathilde strives to be a resource, guide, and support system for patients navigating the world of hearing loss and cochlear implants. Her firsthand experience and personal achievements are testament to how transformative this technology can be.
Mathilde would love to connect with anyone who is considering cochlear implants, those with new implants, or individuals who are further along in their journey. Whether in person or via Zoom, Mathilde is happy help patients in any way she can.
She also hosts a free weekly lipreading class every Wednesday, and everyone is welcome! According to Mathilde, these sessions are a fantastic way to build confidence in lipreading skills while connecting with others in a supportive environment. (Simply reach out to her at the office if you’re interested in attending.)

This is Dr. Beroukhim's Story...
Dr. Beroukhim is an internal medicine physician. She immigrated to America due to an infection, which resulted in her losing much of her hearing. She first visited Dr. Greg, as he was one of the only audiologists on Los Angeles’s list that she could use her UCLA insurance with.
Although she previously had another audiologist, Dr. Beroukhim shared how Dr. Greg’s strong scientific background makes him stand out from the others.
This is David's Story...
David is a highly renowned lawyer that practiced law in California for approximately 50 years, starting his career as a prosecuting attorney with one of his most landmark cases being People v. Cohen, during the Vietnam War. Upon leaving the government, he went on to run a successful litigation practice for around 20 years.
Following the adoption of his second child, David realized how much he enjoyed the life-changing and rewarding process and switched careers to adoption and surrogacy.
This is Cheyenne's Story...
Cheyenne is a 21-year-old student that has been seeing Dr. Greg since seventh grade. Her first encounter with Dr. Greg was different from what she had normally experienced with other audiologists, having had hearing challenges since fourth grade, and numerous hearing assessments.
She shared how she “learned the system”, commenting on how memorization of speech tests became her way of outsmarting the system.
