“I highly recommend this office! The staff and doctor were absolutely amazing. From the moment I arrived, everyone was friendly, professional, and welcoming. The doctor took the time to thoroughly explain my treatment options, answer all of my questions, and address every concern I had. I never felt rushed and truly appreciated the personalized care I received. I left the appointment feeling confident, informed, and very satisfied with my treatment plan. Thank you to the entire team for such a positive experience!”— Lorena S.

Central Valley Hearing Care, by Appointment
Our Visalia office is the Central Valley home of Optimum Audiology. We moved to a new space on S Demaree St in September 2026, so check the address if you've visited us before. Care is led by Dr. Kristi Mendoza, Au.D., in practice since 1991. Visits are by appointment, which leaves time for a full hearing test, a plain-language talk about results, and Real Ear Measurement on every new hearing aid.

Visalia Office Questions
What Central Valley patients ask about our Visalia office: the new Demaree St address, booking an appointment, Veteran care, and getting help between visits.
Yes. As of September 2026, our Visalia office is at 4004 S Demaree St Ste B, Visalia, CA 93277. If you saw us at our old West Noble Avenue location, please update your maps app so you don't end up at the old address. Use the Get Directions button above to open the new route in Google Maps. Your care stays the same: hearing tests, hearing aid fittings, repairs, and follow-up visits are all available at the new office. If you have an appointment coming up and aren't sure where to go, call or text (760) 503-1700 and we'll confirm the details with you.
Booking ahead means the sound booth, testing equipment, and the time you need are ready when you arrive. A full hearing evaluation takes 45 to 60 minutes, and a hearing aid fitting runs 60 to 90 minutes, so we plan each day around the patients coming in. Appointments are available Monday through Friday. Call or text (760) 503-1700, or use the Request a Callback form and pick Visalia as your preferred location. HMO plans need a doctor's referral for a hearing test, so have that ready. If a hearing aid stops working, tell us when you call so we can look for the earliest opening.
Yes. As a VA Community Care Network provider, Optimum Audiology can see eligible Veterans at our Visalia office once the VA approves community care. That can save a long trip for Veterans in Tulare, Exeter, and Farmersville. Dr. Mendoza has focused on Veteran hearing care for decades, and many Veterans come to us with noise-induced hearing loss or tinnitus from their service. Asking for help is a sign of strength, and the visit moves at your pace. Our team can explain the VA steps. Visit our Veterans hearing aid page, or call or text (760) 503-1700 to start.
Start with a call or text to (760) 503-1700. Many hearing aid problems can be handled without a trip to the office. If your devices support it, we can make remote programming changes through your hearing aid app while you're at home. Mail-in repairs work well for devices that need a closer look, and telehealth appointments are available for questions and check-ins. For a quick fix, ask about curbside service at the Demaree St office. If your hearing aids are getting older, we'll talk honestly about whether a repair or an upgrade makes more sense.
