Our Story

Since the founding of Berkeley Hearing Center in 1955, our focus has been on giving our time, energy, respect, and attention to the needs of each individual.

A Personal Message from Owner, Jonathan Lipschutz

We demonstrate our commitment to our patients by listening to their specific issues and needs and then addressing them with our knowledge, experience, expertise and compassion while applying state-of-the-art technology to achieve the best outcomes.

By adhering to these foundational principles, Berkeley Hearing Center is a recognized leader of five-star audiological care, individualized service, and the most advanced hearing aid and assistive listening technology available in the Bay Area.

Since the opening of Berkeley Hearing Center, we’ve had the honor to serve tens of thousands of satisfied patients, spanning multiple generations in some families.

Establishing the hearing care bar at such a high level is the result of our tireless efforts to serve patients like you. Though there are many reasons why patients choose Berkeley Hearing Center, here are six reasons why many new patients come to us.

The right hearing aid should fit the unique circumstances, budget, and lifestyle of the patient. After all, we don’t wear them, our patients do. Because we are not bound to any particular manufacturer, our patients have a broader range of devices to choose from, allowing them to find the perfect match to meet all of their needs.
