Valley Audiology of Orinda

Valley Audiology of Orinda is an audiology practice in Orinda, California, located on Tice Valley Blvd. The practice serves patients across Contra Costa County, guiding them through their entire hearing health journey, from a baseline hearing test through hearing aids or cochlear implants. Its audiologists provide hearing loss diagnosis and treatment, hearing aid fittings with options for different budgets and levels of hearing loss, and cochlear implant evaluation for patients whose needs are not met by hearing aids. The team includes Leigh Kjeldsen, Au.D., audiologist and practice owner, along with audiologists Paige Townsend, Au.D., Claire Neal, Au.D., and Kelly Tremmel-Howell, Au.D., CCC-A, a pediatric audiologist, plus an audiology extern and patient care coordinators. The practice holds a rating of 4.90 based on customer reviews.

The practice began in 1984 and has served Contra Costa County for multiple generations, with patients who have been coming since it first opened. After starting at an original location in Concord, it expanded to Walnut Creek in 2005. Dr. Kjeldsen purchased the practice from her mother, who was also an audiologist. The team takes time to listen to patients and tailor treatment plans to their needs, treating hearing care as an ongoing journey rather than a single appointment, and continues seeing patients over time to help them hear and keep hearing well. The practice also offers an online hearing quiz as a first step toward a customized treatment plan, and its offices are open Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 4:30pm.

Valley Audiology of Orinda is known for a strong customer rating and for audiologists who have cared for local families across generations, a combination that keeps hearing care in Orinda personal and close to home.
