Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Hearing loss rarely announces itself all at once, which is why so many people put off calling an audiologist in Los Angeles until a family member points it out first. The practices below have logged nearly 3,800 Google reviews between them, and every single one holds a rating of 4.6 or higher, so the real decision is which specialty fits your ears, not whether the care is any good.

Short answer: Sherman Oaks Ear and Hearing Aid Institute and Musicians Hearing Solutions both hold a perfect 5.0 rating, with Sherman Oaks the far larger practice at 1,549 reviews against Musicians Hearing Solutions' specialist focus on custom in-ear monitors. Pacific Hearing and American Hearing & Balance both sit at 4.9, and the Los Angeles Center for Ear, Nose, Throat and Allergy rounds out the list at 4.6 with the broadest ENT services.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated them, ranked against other Los Angeles audiologists. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from over a thousand patients carries more weight than a 5.0 from under 200. Recency reflects how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does an audiologist visit cost in Los Angeles?

Hearing test and hearing aid pricing depends heavily on insurance coverage, the type of device fitted, and whether the visit is diagnostic or fitting-focused. None of the practices above publish a general fee schedule we can cite directly here, so ask each office for its current pricing and check what your insurance plan covers before booking.

Serving all of Los Angeles

The audiologists above cover a wide stretch of the LA area, including Sherman Oaks, Downtown Los Angeles, West LA, Beverly Hills, and Westwood. Searching for an audiologist near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can reach the closest option.

What to ask before you book an audiologist

  • Do you accept my insurance, and what is covered versus out of pocket?
  • Is the initial visit a full diagnostic hearing test or a shorter screening?
  • What hearing aid brands and price ranges do you carry?
  • Is there a trial period if I’m fitted for a hearing aid?
  • How do you handle repairs or reprogramming after the initial fitting?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these audiologists?

We started from every audiologist in Los Angeles with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do I need a referral to see an audiologist in Los Angeles?

Not always. Some patients book directly, while others are referred through a primary care doctor or ENT. Check with your insurance plan, since some require a referral for coverage.

What is the difference between an audiologist and an ENT?

An audiologist specializes in hearing and balance testing and hearing aid fitting, while an ENT (otolaryngologist) is a physician who also treats broader ear, nose, and throat medical conditions. Some practices on this page, like Los Angeles Center for Ear, Nose, Throat and Allergy, offer both under one roof.

The bottom line

Sherman Oaks Ear and Hearing Aid Institute is the safe default given its review volume and perfect rating, while Musicians Hearing Solutions is the clear call if custom in-ear monitors are what brought you here. Whichever you choose, ask about insurance coverage before the appointment.
