Dr. Janell Reid, founded Tustin Hearing Center in 1989 with the desire to help people in their journey to better hearing. “Our goal each time we consult with a patient is to provide the best experience for them with the best outcome. Patients come to us with many different hearing losses, hearing problems, and listening needs. It is our job to introduce them to the hearing solution that is right for them and guide them through the process.” 30 years later we have continued to do just that! With the support of the community, a great staff, and wonderful patients, the clinic has helped over 20,000 patients in their journey to better hearing.
