A PERFECT HEARING RESOURCE! I am so happy my ENT doctor specifically recommended Jonathan Lipschutz for a solution to this musician's hearing difficulties. As I continue to wrestle with hearing inconveniences, I find solace in knowing that I have a knowledgable, expert and very available audiologist to help me with every difficulty. Each time I visit the office, greeted warmly by office manager John, I am helped in fine-tuning my use of the advanced technology Jonathan has provided me.

TRANSPORTATION: When I drive, there is parking available onsite. When I choose public transportation from San Mateo, I find BART from Millbrae connecting to AC Transit in Berkeley efficient and convenient.

A few years ago, I upgraded to behind-the-ear bluetooth enabled ReSound hearing aids. The support I have received from audiologist Jonathan Lipshutz has been beyond wonderful. He always is informed and personable, willing to explain all the components and try out changes with full attention to my input and experience. Office Manager John Chakan is reliably friendly, helpful, and well-informed. I highly recommend the Berkeley Hearing Center; I can't imagine better support than what I receive here!

I can’t say enough about my entire experience at Berkeley Hearing Center. Jonathon has vast knowledge and experience not to mention patience and compassion. My type of hearing loss coupled with sound sensitivity due to migraine makes my hearing aide needs tricky. With that in mind I was actually referred to Jonathan by another audiologist because she knew he would have the expertise required for my situation. She was absolutely right. Jon, who runs the front of the house so to speak was also wonderful to work with. This is THE practice to come to for thorough, compassionate, expert care.

Great service! Jonathan and John have supported me through thick and thin. From Jonathan’s initial exam and subsequent fitting to my losing my aids twice. John with his basso profundo now takes care of some minor repairs, leaving Jonathan to concentrate on the heavy lifting.

Berkeley Hearing Center gets my highest possible recommendation! I went in to get some custom tips made for my Westone in-ear monitors. Jonathan and John are consummate professionals and a joy to work with. The fit of one of the tips was initially not perfect, and Jonathan insisted upon iterating on it until I was completely satisfied. The net result is that I'm simply delighted with the finished product. As an aside, the new location (a converted Victorian) is great and features plenty of free parking in the front lot. A fabulous experience in every aspect. Thanks again, Gentlemen!

This has probably been my best-ever consumer experience. Jonathon was SO patient, well-informed, and intelligent that for the first time ever, my mother was able to find hearing aides (after trying at 3 other places over the last 3 years). He was extremely patient and thoughful, and, I think, tried out 7 different kinds over 9 months with her, until he found one that was workable for her (my mother's ears are small!). He explained everything in clear and thoughtful ways that left my mother willing to follow through with all his instructions (my mother was a scientist). So, I can not recommend this place highly enough. People were friendly, kind, patient, knowledgeable, and willing to go beyond the normal limit to make sure things are right for people.
