When it came time to come in, Beverly Lew knew exactly what to do and could have easily overcharged me but did not! She was smart and helped me make sure I was getting full use of my warranty, which she didn't have to do and I deeply appreciate it. The final price was so reasonable and literally 1/4 of the cost compared to what some other places in the area I had called were going to charge me!! This really meant a lot to me and makes me know this is the place I will come back to if I ever have a problem again. I love finding businesses that operate on integrity. This is the type of establishment I wish all businesses could be like. Beverly Lew was kind, competent, understanding, and quick to help me in the way that benefited me the most. I am so happy to recommend Sound Advice!! Really really wonderful experience here!!

If I were in a super hero film; my power would be supersonic hearing. Everything sounds louder in…read moremy ears and I can hear conversations from what feels like a mile away: it is a blessing and a curse. Mostly a curse because the sense of sound has become aggravating at this point and offers too much stimulus (causing headaches!), I have misophonia and it requires me to wear ear plugs 24/7 when at home because I live in a loud area. Even stranger, is that I have tinnitus so you would think that the constant ear ringing would mute sound but no-siree! This ear plug wearing- habit (the putty swimmer's kind) means that I occasionally have teeny, tiny pieces of ear plugs that remain in my ear canals which then have to be removed using a traditional ear wax cleaning procedure. I try to do this once a year and being my previous doctor moved out of the area; I discovered Sound Advice and I am so glad I did! Sound Advice is the audiology practice of Dr. Beverly Lew housed in Burbank near the famous Milt & Edie's dry cleaners on Alameda/Pass (paid parking behind the building). Dr. Lew has over thirty years of experience with all things ear-related with a Bachelor of Arts in Communicative Disorders and Master of Arts in Audiology treating everything from hearing loss and hearing aid dispensing to tinnitus to handling the precious hearing of famous rock stars and their in-ear monitors. When it comes to ears and hearing... Sound Advice has you covered! Dr. Lew is truly the master class in audiology. I booked an ear cleaning with Sound Advice (this procedure isn't covered by health insurance and will set you back approximately $150) and arrived to a warm, inviting lobby with reading materials galore and a fully stocked snack stand with coffee, tea, water and snacks. The receptionist Monique even offered candy/chocolates. The energy at Sound Advice is very calming and doesn't feel like the usual clinical vibe at typical doctor's offices. As odd as it sounds (ooh, that is fitting!); Sound Advice is actually an enjoyable medical office. I met with Dr. Lew and she briefly consulted with me allowing me to tell her the state of my ears and my super hearing power. Dr. Lew is the first to EVER dive deep into the psychology and the medical prognosis of why my hearing is so elevated, the misophonia, my tinnitus and the possible solutions including Sound Advice making personalized ear plus which won't leave pieces in my ears. Dr. Lew is not only incredibly qualified and intelligent; but she is a beautiful soul inside and out and speaks to you as a compassionate friend making you feel truly cared about. She is genuinely one of the top three doctors I have ever met in my life and I have been to hundreds due to my multiple health conditions and illnesses. I am absolutely enthralled by this woman! I am familiar with the procedure to clean my ears/remove ear plug pieces but it was an even gentler experience with Dr. Lew who asks you every step of the way if you are comfortable and explains what she is doing while continuing the conservation to keep you distracted. We were done before I knew it and Dr. Lew even pampered me with some amazing scented ear oil that will keep ear plugs sliding in and out easily. The experience was so wonderful that I didn't even want my appointment to end! I wanted to hang out at Sound Advice! If you want MY advice, Sound Advice is THE place to go for all things ears/hearing in the SFV area (sorry, I had to do it!). The office is the definition of welcoming and Dr. Lew is one of my new favorite people. I will be considering the personalized ear plugs and will absolutely return for all my super hearing and tinnitus needs and will shout it from the rooftops recommending her - well, maybe not shouting because that is loud, especially to me.

It took me over 2 years to make the decision to move forward with the surgery and it was only because of Dr. Frintner & Dr. Lee that I had to courage to do so. The entire office from Miriam and Rebecca at the front desk to everyone in the back has treated me like family from the moment I walked through that door. I had a successful cochlear implant surgery in October 2025 and am now able to hear way better in my left ear. Burbank Audiology changed my life and we are forever family.

Evan Lee, my hearing Instrument specialist, not only introduced me to my new hearing aids but adjusted my old ones to hold in reserve as a spare in case of emergency. He then spent the next year, with innumerable office visits, helping me find just the right adjustments so that I could hear at an optimum level. In my daily life I attend a lot of meetings and go to the theatre frequently, both live and film. Because of Evan's unshakable support, help, and skill, I am able to continue to participate in my life. I am utterly grateful to him and to Innovative Hearing.

This place is shady. We were referred here from CHLA for my son who needs hearing aids. They were…read morenice and helpful when we were there to be fitted for hearing aids. They assured us that they were in-network and our policy covers the hearing aids 100%. Months later we receive a bill for the "balance" after insurance paid them their contracted rate. This practice is illegal. They were supposed to accept the payment from insurance and write off the rest. I am a nurse with some case management experience plus having a medically complicated son makes me extremely adept in insurance matters. I called Blue Cross and now they are dealing with these people directly. I'm sure we're not the first to be fraudulently billed. I think they do this hoping people are unaware and end up paying something they're not responsible for. update: i called them myself since they've been giving my insurance the run around. receptionist now tells me that the bill is not necessarily for me to pay but just a notification that our account is still open. i uploaded a pic of the bill that has a stamp at the bottom saying PLEASE SEND PAYMENT. what a joke. now she said she will verify and call me back. i bet if i had called to make a payment she would have gladly taken a credit card number to charge. will update review if and when she does call back. shady shady shady.

I told her that I would like to talk to my general doctor first. When I went to discuss my experience with my doctor the office manager told me that why did I pay cash. You could have gotten an Auth. She also told me that if you have medi-cal you can not be charged by a doctors office. She went on to say that this was illegal and that I should report hearing resource to medi-cal. I feel deceived and taken advantage of. I am low income and this outfit just wants to think of themselves. Beware of this place.
