The World Health Organization predicts that the number of hearing loss cases worldwide will double by 2050.

Now more than ever it is essential to encourage your patients to make hearing assessments and hearing care a healthcare priority. As a medical professional, you influence many local people to make better decisions that have an ongoing impact on their overall health, as well as their quality of life.

We kindly ask that if you have a patient that is experiencing hearing challenges or needs help with earwax removal, hearing aid repair, hearing protection, or other hearing care services we provide, you’ll let them know about us or make a referral.

A Personal Message from Owner, Dr. Lance Nelson

“Many people believe the narrative that a hearing aid is the solution to a hearing loss.

“Yet if you ask somebody that has successfully achieved better hearing, they will tell you that great hearing technology is only part of the puzzle; the much more important component is partnering with the right team of hearing experts.

“Having supported the Ojai and Ventura communities for 10 years as the lead doctor of audiology at West Coast Hearing & Balance, I purchased both locations in 2022 and I’m now passionately working with the same locally respected team to continue to further improve an already outstanding reputation.

– Dr. Lance Nelson

Moderate loss tripled risk, and people with a severe hearing impairment were five times more likely to develop dementia.
