Premium Audiology Care Near San Dimas
by Dr. Kevin Ivory
San Dimas residents can access comprehensive hearing healthcare in Glendora, featuring advanced diagnostics, Real Ear Measurements, and personalized treatment approaches.
San Dimas residents have access to exceptional hearing healthcare just a short drive away in neighboring Glendora. Dr. Kevin Ivory provides comprehensive audiology services that go beyond basic hearing tests, offering personalized treatment plans that address each patient's unique hearing challenges and lifestyle needs.
Today's audiology care has evolved significantly from the simple hearing tests of the past. Modern hearing healthcare involves detailed diagnostic evaluations, advanced technology solutions, and ongoing patient support that adapts to changing needs over time. Our practice focuses on understanding how hearing loss affects daily activities that matter most to San Dimas residents, from conversations at Bonelli Regional Park to enjoying live music at the San Dimas Festival.
We begin each patient relationship with comprehensive hearing evaluations that examine not just hearing sensitivity, but how hearing challenges impact work performance, family relationships, and social activities. This thorough assessment includes pure tone testing, speech recognition evaluations, and detailed discussions about specific listening difficulties.
Our diagnostic approach uses state-of-the-art equipment to provide accurate, detailed information about hearing health. We conduct comprehensive audiometric testing that measures hearing sensitivity across all frequencies, providing a complete picture of auditory function.
The evaluation process includes otoscopic examination to assess ear canal and eardrum health. This examination helps identify medical conditions like excessive earwax, ear infections, or structural issues that might contribute to hearing difficulties. When medical conditions are present, we coordinate care with local physicians to address underlying health concerns.
Speech recognition testing forms another critical component of our evaluations. This testing reveals how well patients understand spoken words at various volume levels, providing insight into real-world communication challenges that pure tone testing alone cannot capture.
When hearing aids are recommended, our fitting process follows established clinical best practices. We utilize Real Ear Measurements during hearing aid fittings, a verification technique used by fewer than 30% of hearing care providers. This objective measurement ensures hearing aids deliver the precise amplification needed for each individual's hearing loss.
Real Ear Measurements involve placing a tiny microphone in the ear canal to measure actual sound levels delivered by the hearing aid. This eliminates guesswork and provides verification that hearing aids meet prescribed targets for optimal performance.
We partner with leading manufacturers to offer the most current hearing aid technologies. The Phonak Infinio series features dual-chip architecture with AI processing capabilities. The Infinio Sphere model includes DEEPSONIC chip technology that provides real-time speech enhancement and up to 10 dB improvement in noisy environments.
Oticon Intent hearing aids incorporate 4D User-Intent Sensors that automatically adapt based on conversation activity, head movement, and surrounding acoustics. The Deep Neural Network 2.0 technology processes millions of sound samples to distinguish speech from background noise effectively.
Starkey Edge AI models feature the G2 Neuro Processor with neural processing capabilities, delivering enhanced speech clarity and noise reduction through advanced artificial intelligence processing.
Our ListeningBrain® Treatment Program recognizes that successful hearing treatment involves more than technology selection. The program addresses brain adaptation to amplified sound through gradual acclimatization protocols that build confidence and consistent usage patterns.
Rather than providing maximum amplification immediately, we use systematic programming that allows the auditory system to adapt comfortably. This approach prevents overwhelming patients with sudden sound increases while encouraging daily hearing aid use that leads to optimal outcomes.
The program includes regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress, make adjustments based on real-world experiences, and provide ongoing support as patients adapt to improved hearing.
Our practice provides extensive support services beyond initial hearing aid fittings. We offer professional maintenance, repairs, and programming adjustments as hearing needs change over time. Custom hearing protection is available for San Dimas residents who work in noisy environments or enjoy recreational activities like motorcycling or shooting sports.
For patients experiencing tinnitus, we provide management strategies and hearing aids equipped with tinnitus therapy features. Many modern devices include sound masking capabilities and specialized programs designed to reduce the perception of ear ringing.
Telehealth services accommodate patients who prefer remote consultations for certain appointments. Remote programming capabilities allow hearing aid adjustments from home, reducing travel time while maintaining quality care.
Our Glendora location offers convenient access for San Dimas residents, with straightforward Route 66 access and available parking. The office serves patients throughout the San Gabriel Valley, recognizing the diverse needs of communities from the foothills to the valley floor.
San Dimas residents benefit from having local access to premium audiology care without traveling to distant metropolitan areas. This proximity enables regular follow-up care that supports long-term hearing health and hearing aid success.
The practice maintains flexible scheduling Monday through Friday to accommodate work schedules and family commitments common among San Dimas residents.
Dr. Ivory brings extensive clinical experience combined with academic involvement that keeps our practice current with advancing technology and treatment methods. His teaching responsibilities at California State University, Los Angeles and California State University, Northridge ensure ongoing exposure to emerging research and evidence-based practices.
This academic connection provides patients with access to cutting-edge treatment approaches and the latest clinical protocols in audiology care.
Current hearing aids offer sophisticated connectivity that integrates with smartphones, televisions, and other electronic devices. We provide comprehensive training on Bluetooth streaming, hands-free calling, and smartphone app controls that enhance daily hearing aid use.
Many devices include artificial intelligence that learns from user preferences and automatically adjusts settings based on acoustic environments. We explain these features thoroughly and help patients maximize benefits from advanced capabilities.
Addressing hearing loss provides benefits that extend beyond improved communication. Research links untreated hearing loss to increased risks of cognitive decline, social isolation, and depression. San Dimas residents who treat hearing loss often report improved confidence in social situations, better performance at work, and enhanced enjoyment of family gatherings and community events.
Active lifestyles common among San Dimas residents benefit significantly from modern hearing aid technology. Waterproof models support activities at nearby Raging Waters or Bonelli Regional Park, while advanced noise reduction helps with conversations in busy restaurants along Foothill Boulevard.
