Services
Hearing Evaluations
Our diagnostic audiologic evaluations assess hearing acuity, middle-ear function, and speech recognition. Using advanced testing methods tailored to age and medical history, we determine hearing loss type and severity. The 30-40 minute evaluations include comprehensive analysis and personalized treatment recommendations for both adults and children.
Tinnitus Treatment
We offer specialized tinnitus management using FDA-approved LENIRE devices, Neuromonics sound therapy, and VNG testing for associated balance issues. Treatment plans address both the auditory perception and psychological impact of tinnitus through customized sound stimulation and counseling programs.
Hearing Aid Fittings
Our hearing aid services include device selection from top manufacturers, Real Ear Measurement verification, and live speech mapping programming. We provide comprehensive fitting appointments with usage training, maintenance guidance, and follow-up care to ensure optimal performance and patient satisfaction with all major hearing aid styles.
Balance Testing
Videonystagmography (VNG) balance evaluations diagnose dizziness and vertigo through specialized tests including caloric stimulation, positional testing, and ocular mobility assessments. Our specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to identify inner ear disorders and develop targeted treatment plans for balance improvement.
Earwax Removal
Professional cerumen management addresses impacted earwax through irrigation, curettage, or suction techniques. Our audiologists safely remove blockages causing hearing loss or discomfort while providing education on proper ear hygiene and prevention of future impactions.

Awful. Beyond belief! Avoid this place. I went in for a hearing exam in early December 2021, referred by Aetna and a supervising company named Hearing Solutions. The doctor was fine but the office follow up was hideous. I ended up cancelling the order and starting over elsewhere. A few of the facts: Hearing devices were ordered from the ,manufacturer and conformed delivered by UPS on December 20.
No word from The Hearing Doctor that they had been received. I phoned around January 10th. This office (in Culver City) claimed they never received the order. I had to make 3 calls to them and Hearing

I'm responding to the answer on my review. Here's the whole story. I was having a scratchy/static in one of my Resound hearing aids. I found the Hearing doctor online and called to tell them my problem. The receptionist stated that they would check it and clean it, etc for $45 but it might be $90 if they have to replace the wire. I thought that was a very reasonable price if it fixes it. They never said I needed an appt. I wasn't there to see the audiologist, only to drop off a hearing aid but once I got there the unfriendly receptionist said I wasn't in their system, duh

I called in and said I was experiencing static in one of my hearing aids. I was told that they could check it and clean it for$45 and if it needs a new wire it would be $95. I thought that sounded reasonable so a few days later I went in to a pretty unfriendly receptionist. Later that day they called and said I could pick it up. They said they changed the filter and cleaned it. (I have my own box of filters at home that are simple to change.). I took it home and the same problem persisted. I called back and was told I would have to send it back to Resound. After calling Resound I was told the audiologist

Will you ever be happy (and lucky) if you are fortunate to have Dr. Glicksberg as your hearing specialist!!! I had gone to a different audiologist and my hearing aids weren't quite right, but I thought that was the way they were supposed to be. I listen to a lot of music as I exercise. Well, I changed doctors to Dr. Miriam Glicksberg and am I ever thrilled! She masterfully used a number of different machines and PRESTO my hearing and music appreciation improved dramatically. Plus, she is delightful and a joy to work with. What a difference she made. I am SO happy I went to her. Lucky me!!!

Dr. Miriam Glicksberg was very patient, friendly and professional with my mother and I. She didn't rush and even stayed with us for part of her lunch hour to make sure my mother was taken care of. I really appreciated it. We left with great advice and a lot of knowledge we didn't have when we walked in. Thank you!

I wrote an honest review last time.. and they made a complaint to the lawyer of my friend called me unprofessional for sharing my experience in this place...
and she was afraid that she wasn't able to complete her next appointment so I was forced to delete my review.. which I think it's unprofessional for them to do that than apologizing.. (I wasn't the only person they kind of acted rudely too.. just look at previous 1 star review in the comment) maybe it's time to correct the assistant of the office... it's just the way they communicate is not professional... their doctors
