Prescription Hearing Aid Technology

Why Today’s Hearing Technology is Distinctively Different to What Many People Remember

Although prescription hearing aids are only part of the puzzle of achieving better hearing, they’re the part that prevents many people from moving forward to address their hearing challenges.

With hearing technology historically having stigma for the large, clunky devices you may remember your grandparents wearing, some people choose to continue to live a limited life out of fear of becoming a prescription hearing aid wearer.

Yet in today’s world, hearing technology is significantly different from what many people remember.

The latest technology is small, discreet, and, in some cases, even invisible. In fact, it’s highly likely that you have friends, loved ones, or colleagues that are hearing aid wearers and you have never even noticed.

At Pacific Hearing, Inc., Dr. Greg and the team understand that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to addressing your hearing challenges.

With access to all manufacturers and all levels of hearing technology, we’re able to make a recommendation on the best hearing devices for you based on your unique circumstances, lifestyle, and budget to ensure that you achieve better hearing.

							I had intense vertigo again so my Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist sent me for a hearing and vertigo test. It was an amazing place with super professional staff that explained every step of the testing. Results came quickly.

							I was seen by Dr. Frazer and Dr. Voelker. Great experience. Dr. Frazer was patient in answering my questions and has a good sense of humor. Dr. Voelker was attentive and requested additional tests to rule out certain things. Overall I had a great experience and recommend Pacific Hearing.

							Sheila Shalom M.D. is the BEST. I was there to pick up my first set of hearing aids, and was very nervous. Her warmth, reassurance and professionalism put me right at ease. She walked me through each step, made sure I could put the hearing aids in myself and made me calm, and confident and taken care of. It's a beautiful office, very classy, again very reassuring. I look forward to my next appointment with Dr. Sheila. She is wonderful and so kind.

							Dr. Sheila Shalom is definitely an audiologist you will feel comfortable with, AND she will give you the time you need to work out any hearing issues you might have. She's knowledgable, and you can tell she wants the best outcome for her patients. She has been incredibly patient and kind with my elderly mother and has gone the extra mile to get the best outcome for my mother's fairly severe hearing loss.  Dr. Shalom has always been available to answer questions and give suggestions which has kept us coming back for the past few years now!

							Pacific Hearing is my go-to professional audiology service, who have provided me with excellent hearing aids (Widex brand). Earlier today, I met with Dr. Krauss due to a hearing aid malfunction. She immediately welcomed me personally into the clinic, took my faulty hearing aid to the repair shop, and returned within five minutes. My  hearing is restored!

							"Can you hear me now?" 

Increased volume. Projection. Okay, outdoor voice.

"CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?"

"Huh? What?"

Over the last two years that's how hubby and I have been communicating. Surprised we're still married but he is rather cute. 

Examination of his diminished hearing began with a referral from his primary care physician to see if the origin was simply "waxy yellow build-up". Yup, some but that removal did not significantly improve his hearing. 

Next step definitive testing with audiologist, Rachel Abucasis, AuD. Test revealed severe hearing loss.

"So why can't we just order some of those newfangled hearing aids I saw on the internet and be done with it?"

"Because dear (by now I'm using the term lightly), they're a one size fits all." 

"But they're cheap."

In outdoor voice, "BECAUSE YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!"

Hence, began a series of appointments (about four) to get both the right hearing aids as well as the personalized adjustments. 

Long story short, final devices, not inexpensive, are working well.  He can hear me now although not always what I say is what he wants to hear.

This save-our-marriage (perhaps) investment comes with three years of follow-up, replacement/repair of the devices.

Via Rachel Abucasis, AuD. (a.k.a. Dr. Rachel) we left with complete detailed instructions on hearing aid maintenance and a six-month follow-up appointment.

Pacific Hearing & Balance Center, Inc. is the epitome of professionalism, patient care.

If you must go, parking in the building is $20-$30 dollars. So, NEVER schedule an appointment on Brentwood's Thursday/Friday street sweeping days!

							Coming in for a reoccurrence of tinnitus, Dr. Arevalo patiently listened to all my descriptions of symptoms, then conducted a battery of hearing tests to determine if any frequencies were below optimum. Afterwards, we discussed possible ways to improve my experience, including breathing and mindfulness techniques. As my tinnitus was not severe and seemed to be improving over time, we eliminated use of some devices while reserving the option of hearing aids to boost misusing frequencies. All in all, I'm extremely impressed with Jesse Arevalo's skill and empathy. Also the office staff and setting are bright and professional.

							I was referred to Pacific Hearing for sudden persistent tinnitus and was very fortunate to have Lajayah Medina, AuD Resident conduct hearing assessments revealing a high frequency hearing loss as (likely) contributory factor causing my tinnitus onset.  Ms. Medina provided exceptional professional care performing several diagnostic audiometry sessions. She is knowledgable, experienced, with remarkable interpersonal skill alleviating my tinnitus induced anxiety by providing calming and reassuring explanation of potential causes and most importantly, suggested effective stress reducing and anxiety management techniques.  Hearing loss and tinnitus are  significant life altering afflictions; having attentive and reassuring professional care as I received from Ms. Medina has helped me understand, accept, and accommodate my tinnitus and demonstratively reduce it's disruptive impact upon life quality. I highly recommend and endorse Ms. Medina for professional audiology care.

							I live in Africa, more specifically in the Sahel region, in one of the poorest countries of the world. So having a hearing problem was really a big problem, since there is no local access to modern technology and medical care. I was then a bit skeptical when I visited Dr. Rachel Abucassis at the Pacific Hearing Clinic at the end of 2022, wondering how she could help me from afar. Well, it has been over a year now and I couldn't be more satisfied and reassured with her expertise and the clinic's service. Not only she was able to fit me for my first appointment during the week of X-tmas and New Year's of 2022 but she made me walk out of there with a pair of new hearing aids and with a more positive attitude towards life. Yes, the new Widex Hearing Aids device is expensive but it totally worths it, because it has been a game changer for me, both socially and professionally. I don't miss the meaning of meetings and gatherings anymore and therefore I do not feel isolated and confuse anymore. A couple of months ago, after the charger of my hearing aids device broke, they were able to send me a new one completely free of charge. Any problems that I have, any guidance and adjustments that I need they are there for me and they have been able to provide an excellent service from afar. But what I like the most is the human dimension of their service, the genuine caring and attention that I get from all of them - recently, when Dr Rachel was in a maternity leave, Dr. Greg stepped in and helped me out. So I couldn't recommend the Pacific hearing Clinic more! Thank you Dr Rachel, thanks  Dr. Greg and thanks Pacific Hearing Aids Clinic!! Ellen Barros

							*** I have suffered from tinnitus for decades. ***

Yet in recent years, the ringing has seemed louder.

So my doc told me to check here for a hearing loss.

Staff is polite and saw me just 5 mins after check-in.

My hearing test revealed that I'm both  blessed and

cursed bc the ringing frequency in my ears is same

as most women's voices.  Therefore the next time a

woman tells me that I am ignoring her, I can simply

say "naw baby, I just got a hearing impairment that

prevents me from listening to your bullsh!t". (lmao)

The Different Styles of Prescription Hearing Aids

Invisible-In-Canal (IIC)

The smallest, most discrete hearing aid available is the IIC style. Used by those with a mild to moderate hearing loss, IIC hearing aids are custom-formed to fit the unique shape of your ear canal. They insert deep into the canal using a tiny post, making them invisible to others – a significant advantage for the style-conscious or self-conscious wearer.

Completely-In-The-Canal (CIC)

Those with a mild to severe hearing loss, or who are unable to tolerate IIC hearing aids for a variety of reasons, can benefit from using CIC style hearing aids. Like IIC hearing aids, CICs insert into the ear canal but not as deep. Although somewhat visible, they still provide discretion but are more powerful.

In-The-Canal (ITC)

A slightly larger hearing aid with increased performance and a slightly larger contour for patients with a mild to severe hearing loss is the ITC style. This hearing aid inserts into the entrance of the ear canal, which is necessary for individuals who struggle with deep insertion and the smaller size of IIC and CIC styles. These units sometimes include wireless capabilities for smartphone streaming and come in a variety of color choices as well as skin tone matching.

In-The-Ear (ITE)

Not all wearers can tolerate or manage smaller style hearing aids and/or need a higher level of amplification for mildly severe to severe hearing losses. The design of ITE hearing aids is to accommodate patient needs along with discretion considerations. Their sleek design is custom-formed to the outer entrance of the ear canal. This type is often preferred by those with glasses or who use oxygen. It allows for connectivity and a variety of color options while offering maximum hearing coverage.

Receiver-In-The-Ear (RITE)

The most versatile hearing instrument on the market, RITE hearing aids, provide the easiest in-office repair and upgrade solutions of all hearing aid styles. Patients with a severe to profound hearing loss receive high-level amplification from an in-ear receiver connected to an ear piece behind the ear. Although not as discrete, RITE units are lightweight, come in a variety of colors and skin tones, and have increased connectivity and streaming capacity as well as recharging capabilities, so you don’t have to fool around with batteries.

Behind-The-Ear (BTE)

These are, more or less, holdovers from days gone by. Designed for patients with severe to profound hearing losses, these instruments resemble the older style but are far lighter, more streamlined, and have fewer performance issues. As the performance of RITE hearing aid styles increases, BTE models are disappearing. Along with connectivity, streaming, and color and skin tone matching, BTE units include easy to use buttons and are rechargeable as well.

Lyric Extended Wear (Invisible)

The lyric extended wear device is placed in your ear canal, meaning the Lyric remains completely out of sight – invisible to the world. You will enjoy clear and natural sounds and are able to wear them 24/7 even through daily activities such as showering and exercising.

Patient Stories

This is Sarah's Story...

Sarah is the captain of the USA National Deaf Women’s Volleyball team, an actress, motivational speaker and a popular YouTuber that signs songs which have gotten recognition from Lin Manuel Miralda from Hamilton, and The Greatest Showman.

This is Dr. Rachelefsky's Story...

Dr. Rachelefsky was the director of the Executive Care Center for Asthma, Allergy, and Respiratory Diseases, professor of allergy and immunology, and associate director of the Allergy-Immunology Training Program at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

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.

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.
