Our team of Doctors of Audiology are committed to exceptional results through Best Practice care.
Our Doctors of Audiology work collaboratively to ensure that each and every patient seen in our clinic receives the best audiologic care possible by following Best Practices. In addition to providing excellent care to patients with common forms of hearing loss, our audiologists specialize in treating some of the most complex forms of hearing loss. However, Doctors Cliff Olson, Leslie Balderas, Rachael Cook, and Kelsey Beck also understand that the experience you have inside of our clinic is just as important as the care you receive. That’s why we always strive to give you 5-star service every single time you step foot into Applied Hearing Solutions. During your visits in our state-of-the-art clinic, you will never be rushed through your appointments as we work to solve your hearing difficulties.

What Happens During a Hearing Evaluation?
Not all hearing tests are created equal. If you're visiting a high-quality hearing care practice, here's what you can expect during your hearing evaluation.
07/28/2025
Your ear is uniquely shaped, impacting the way that sound travels to your eardrum.
For this reason, when we fit you with hearing aids, we need to measure the sound that's reaching your eardrum and verify that you're hearing at your prescribed volume based on your hearing loss.
We do this using a test called "real ear measurement", where we put a small probe tube that's attached to a microphone deep into your ear while you're wearing your hearing aids, and play calibrated sounds to measure the levels at your eardrum.
Then we fine-tune the hearing aid output until the sound you're actually hearing matches your prescription.
Unfortunately, nearly 70% of hearing professionals DON'T routinely do this test, leading to people purchasing expensive hearing aids without receiving their full benefit.

Should you buy premium hearing aids?
ONLY if your hearing provider follows comprehensive best practices when fitting them (fewer than 30% do!).

Dr. Cliff recently heard about a patient with sudden sensorineural hearing loss, who was told by an ENT to wait a full year before getting hearing aids—hoping the brain might "adjust" or that hearing could return.

Patient Feedback & Reviews
"Kudos to who I believe is the best audiologist in the country. Not just for his outstanding service and his informative videos, but for his superior effort to go the extra mile with his patients without breaking the bank. He is the gold standard by which other audiologists should be measured.

“Dr. Cliff has helped give me confidence in social situations again. I have suffered from tinnitus and single sided deafness for over 40 years. Dr. Cliff worked with me making corrections and adjustments to my hearing aids. They fit and work perfectly For me. I am so appreciative of Dr . Cliff.”

I drive from East Mesa to see Dr. Olson. It's worth the drive because Dr. Olson truly works to get you not a good fit but a great fit. Watch his YouTube videos and you see that he does his homework. He's a one man shop but that's a benefit in getting personalized care. I've been to three audiologists this year and wasn't happy until I found Dr. Olson.
