“Joel the technician and owner at Elephant Ear Hearing Services is very professional and knowledgeable. He guided me through the process of learning about my specific hearing challenges all the way through to selecting, fitting and wearing my new hearing aids. I would highly recommend his services to anyone curious about their hearing difficulties.”
“Joel is super competent and kind. He goes the extra distance in optimizing patient’s quality of hearing. Having lived with chronic hearing issues, including a cochlear implant in one ear and hearing aid in the other. He researched the best solution for my profound hearing loss. He wasn’t satisfied with less. I strongly recommend him”

Clinic details
Welcome to Elephant Ear Hearing Services!
The inspiration for this practice has been the influence of many people, patients and experiences that have molded me into the specialist that I am today. In my early years, I watched my father build a hearing practice centered around his patients and learned how he connected with them on a personal level. I witnessed the genuine care he had for them and for their success with hearing aids. Success led to better living through better hearing. This approach made a distinct impression on me - his passion was improving lives! My mother was not in the hearing field, but she was a registered nurse and quite possibly the best there ever was. She had a unique way of making anyone she surrounded herself with feel good. She was the most caring person I have ever known. On a trip to Thailand with friends, she had the opportunity to spend several days caring for, learning from, and even riding elephants. She developed an instant connection and love for these great animals. The combination of her love for elephants and their ability to hear sounds below and above the frequency range of humans over long distances, gave birth to the name for my practice, Elephant Ear Hearing Services Inc.
My desire with this small practice is to provide superior hearing care for anyone that suffers from any degree of hearing impairment at affordable prices and payment options. I believe that experience is the source of wisdom and there are very few practitioners in Northern California that have more experience in this field. It is my passion working with the most challenging hearing impairments or patients who have not had success in the past; I derive the most joy from their success. The culmination of my experience, my background and my sincere care for my patients brought me to where I am today and is the inspiration for this unique practice. I decided this practice would be a "Hybrid” practice, meaning I have the ability to perform all the testing for hearing loss, the selection, fitting, and programming of hearing aids, the scan or molded impressions of your ear(s) either in the clinic, or in the privacy of your own home. I have cared for many patients in-home over the years and have found it to be very beneficial to determine all the specific challenges the patient is facing in order to achieve their absolute best hearing. This option allows patients that have difficulty or simply cannot travel into the office the ability to get full-service hearing care. It is also a great solution for busy professionals who may need appointments at times other than the normal 9-5 business hours. If you or someone you care about struggles with hearing loss, has tried unsuccessfully with hearing aids, or has been told hearing aids won’t help, please come and see us. It is my sincere pleasure to share my inspiration and experience with you or your loved one(s) on their way to their best hearing possible either in the comfort of their own home, or in our clinic. - Joel Duguay
