Treatment Plans to Fit Your Specific Hearing Needs

Advanced hearing technology is just one tool in your repertoire when it comes to better hearing outcomes – the guidance and support of a team of hearing healthcare professionals is what makes the difference between good and great hearing.

The Berkeley Method 

If we find hearing loss, we don’t “sell” devices ,we prescribe treatment.

For most adults, hearing loss isn’t something medication can reverse. When a comprehensive evaluation confirms permanent hearing loss (most commonly sensorineural), the evidence-based path forward is hearing technology paired with professional care. Addressing hearing loss earlier-rather than waitin- usually leads to easier adjustment, better communication, and better long-term outcomes.

Our role is to help you understand what’s going on, what it means in your everyday life, and what to do about it — clearly, honestly, and without pressure.

What Treatment Looks Like 

We take the time to explain what we found, answer your questions, and talk through what matters most to you- at work, at home, and in situations where hearing has become frustrating.

Treatment typically follows one or more of these pathways:

Hearing aids

The first-line treatment for most mild through severe sensorineural hearing loss

Cochlear implants

Recommended when hearing aids aren’t providing enough benefit in more severe or complex case

Aural rehabilitation

Structured support to strengthen listening and communication skills, often paired with hearing aids or implants 

If hearing aids are indicated, we’ll recommend them - clearly and confidently - because they work. Our focus is always on outcomes, not transactions. 

Why We Don’t Recommend “Waiting” 

Even mild hearing loss can blur speech, especially in background noise. When that happens, your brain has to work harder to keep up. Over time, that extra effort often shows up as fatigue, frustration, or pulling back from conversations.

Research shows that for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss, hearing aids improve hearing-specific quality of life and listening ability. Treating hearing loss earlier typically leads to better adaptation and more consistent benefit over time.

When treatment is appropriate, we’ll say so -plainly - and help you move forward at a pace that feels right to you.

How We Deliver Care 

We believe treatment works best when it’s personalized, unrushed, and supported over time. Our approach to hearing care is built around long-term outcomes, not quick fixes - and that philosophy guides every recommendation we make. 

Treatment Plans 

Hearing technology, thoughtfully selected - and the clinical care that protects outcomes. 

Hearing aids aren’t a retail purchase at Berkeley Hearing Center. After comprehensive testing, your audiologist prescribes a treatment plan based on your hearing profile, listening environments, goals, and long-term hearing health.

For most patients, the best results come from our Comprehensive Plan — because hearing changes, technology evolves, and real-world performance requires proactive care over time.

Your Journey: The Berkeley Method 

Better hearing isn’t a one-time event. It’s treatment - verified, refined, and supported over time. 

Evaluate

We clarify your hearing needs, daily listening challenges, and real-world priorities. 

Fit & Verify

Precision programming using best-practice verification to confirm benefit in real life — not just in a quiet room. 

Adapt

Structured follow-up during the first 90 days to fine-tune performance as your brain and ears adjust. 

Protect & Optimize

Ongoing care to maintain performance and adapt as your hearing needs and environments change.

What this means: you’re not just getting devices, you’re getting a clinically validated process and a care team responsible for real-world outcomes. 

Why We Use Plans 

Because great outcomes are built -not dispensed. 

Strong, lasting results require two things: 

Premium hearing technology, precisely fit and programmed 

Ongoing clinical care to verify, adapt, and optimize performance as your life changes 

Our standard of care includes: 

Outcomes verification to confirm real-world benefit 

Structured adaptation early on, when results are established 

Preventive maintenance to protect sound quality and device longevity

Continuity of care with a clinical team who stays with you as your hearing evolves

Treatment Plans, Recommended by Your Audiologist 

We recommend one of two care pathways -both aligned with the Berkeley Method and tailored to your needs. 

Decades of experience have shown us that the strongest outcomes come from care that is structured, proactive, and continuous.
