Why Choose Optimum Audiology

10 Reasons to Choose Optimum Audiology for Your Hearing Care

Selecting the right audiology practice is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your hearing health. At Optimum Audiology, we’ve spent more than three decades earning the trust of patients throughout Southern and Central California. Here’s what sets us apart.

1. Over 30 Years of Specialized Experience

Dr. Kristi Mendoza has been helping people hear better since 1991. Her decades of focused expertise mean you benefit from a practitioner who has encountered virtually every type of hearing challenge and knows how to address it effectively.

2. Real Ear Measurement Best Practices

We use Real Ear Measurement for every hearing aid fitting because it’s the gold standard for verification. Dr. Mendoza trained with Gustav Mueller, Ph.D., a pioneer in this technique. This ensures your hearing aids are programmed precisely for your unique ear anatomy and hearing profile.

3. Seniors and Veterans Are Our Specialty

Dr. Mendoza has spent over 30 years working with seniors and Veterans across California. She understands the specific hearing challenges these communities face, from age-related hearing loss to noise-induced damage and tinnitus from military service. Many Veterans feel relieved knowing someone truly understands their experience.

4. Four Convenient Locations

With offices in Apple Valley, Jess Ranch, Visalia, and La Verne, we bring expert hearing care closer to your community. We also serve patients in Victorville, Farmersville, Claremont, and Lucerne Valley.

5. Flexible Hybrid Service Model

We respect your time. Our hybrid approach includes remote programming, curbside hearing aid fittings, telehealth appointments, and concierge in-home services throughout Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange Counties.

6. Access to All Major Hearing Aid Brands

We carry Widex, Starkey, Phonak, Oticon, ReSound, Signia, Unitron, and more. Because we’re not locked into a single manufacturer, we can recommend the technology that genuinely fits your lifestyle and budget.

7. Comprehensive Audiology Services

Beyond hearing aids, we provide complete hearing evaluations, tinnitus treatment, earwax management, and custom hearing protection. Everything you need for lifelong hearing health is under one roof.

8. Genuine Community Involvement

We sponsor local individuals, direct a hearing non-profit, and participate in humanitarian trips abroad. As members of the Audiology Cooperative Entheos, we support Hearing The Call, providing hearing aids to those who cannot afford them.

9. Insurance and Financing Options

We accept most major insurance plans, Worker’s Compensation, and offer CareCredit financing. Our team handles billing so you can focus on what matters—hearing better.

10. Personalized, Relationship-Centered Care

We take time to listen. Every patient receives individualized attention because effective hearing care requires understanding your specific needs, concerns, and goals. Our patients often become like family.
