About John
John never expected to join the audiology industry, but he always knew he wanted to help people. He ran a children’s summer camp for almost 20 years before his children needed his full-time attention, and he pivoted to be a stay-at-home dad for his three kids.
However, when Johnathan Lipschutz called him in 2016 with a job offer, he had no clue that that call would change his life.
As co-owner of Berkeley Hearing Center, John is grateful and immensely honored to help his community with their hearing care. He’s looking forward to seeing how the practice grows with his, Johnathan’s and his team’s passion for their work.

About Jonathan
Jonathan grew up in West Lafayette, Indiana, and started in healthcare as an EMT. After a chance encounter with his old little league coach-turned-professor of audiology, Jonathan found his passion lay with helping people without the sirens—in hearing care.
From volunteering with the Hearing & Speech Center of Northern California (formerly San Francisco Hearing & Speech Center) to professional technical support and product management for ReSound in Redwood City, Jonathan eventually returned to clinical practice and opened the Berkeley Hearing Center in Berkeley, where he now lives with his wife and daughter. Jonathan loves his work in patient care and audiology, and he gets to utilize his medical training and tech expertise to help his patients hear the life they love.
