Audiologist & Hearing Aids in Scottsdale, AZ
Our Scottsdale office is located at the northeast corner of Pinnacle Peak and Pima, serving patients across North Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Carefree, Fountain Hills, McDowell Mountain, and the surrounding North Valley communities. If you live in this part of the Phoenix metro and have been wanting hearing care that does not require a long drive south or into central Scottsdale, this office was designed with you in mind.
The North Scottsdale area has its own distinct identity within the Valley, older established neighborhoods, an active retiree population, and patients who tend to value direct, professional clinical care. Our office matches that tone. We are a focused hearing care practice, not a retail showroom or a high-volume system clinic. Many of our patients have been managing their hearing for years and want a provider who will know their case in detail and stay involved long-term.
Every patient at our Scottsdale office is seen by a licensed audiologist and receives care developed under the direction of Dr. Keith Darrow, a neuroscientist who holds a Ph.D. from a joint Harvard Medical School and MIT program in Speech and Hearing Bioscience. Dr. Darrow’s research at the Eaton Peabody Lab at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary contributed to the development of next-generation auditory technology, and his protocols guide every aspect of patient care at our office.
Our services include comprehensive hearing evaluations, tinnitus assessments and management, prescription hearing aid fittings for both invisible and traditional devices, and ongoing care adjustments. Whether you are noticing changes in your hearing for the first time, dealing with persistent tinnitus, or looking for a more clinical experience than your previous provider offered, our Scottsdale team can help.
Every treatment plan comes with affordable monthly payment options, 0% financing, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. No patient is turned away because of cost.
Hearing Care Services in Scottsdale
Hearing loss treatment
If you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves, struggling at restaurants, or having a hard time following conversations on the golf course or at social gatherings, you may be dealing with hearing loss. Our Scottsdale audiologist runs a full evaluation to determine the type and degree of your loss and builds a treatment plan around your daily life.
Tinnitus treatment
Persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming in your ears can affect sleep, focus, and quality of life. Our neuroscience-based approach evaluates tinnitus clinically, identifies contributing factors, and builds a management plan designed to reduce its impact over time.
Hearing aids in Scottsdale
When hearing devices are part of your treatment plan, our audiologist fits you with prescription hearing aids calibrated specifically to your hearing profile. We do not sell hearing aids off a shelf, we prescribe them based on your evaluation and program them to match your hearing loss pattern. Ongoing care is included in your monthly plan, which is something most retail providers do not offer.
Invisible hearing aids
Our invisible hearing aids sit deep inside the ear canal, custom-molded for comfort, and are virtually undetectable when worn. For Scottsdale patients who are still active in social and professional settings, the discreet form factor is often the deciding factor.
Hearing Aids in Scottsdale, AZ
When hearing devices are part of your treatment plan, our Scottsdale audiologist fits you with prescription hearing aids calibrated to your exact hearing profile, not a one-size-fits-all device off a display wall. We carry and program the leading manufacturers, including Oticon, Phonak, ReSound, Signia, Starkey, Unitron, and Widex, and we match the technology to how you actually live: golf and pickleball out at Troon and Grayhawk, dinners in Old Town, time with the grandkids, or quiet evenings at home.
What sets our Scottsdale hearing aids apart is what comes after the fitting. Cleanings, reprogramming, adjustments, and ongoing support are all included in your monthly plan, so your devices keep performing years down the road, something most retail hearing aid stores in Scottsdale don’t offer. And if you’re already a hearing aid wearer coming from another provider, bring your current devices in; we can often reprogram and service them before you ever need to think about a replacement.
Meet Your Scottsdale Audiologist
Every patient at our Scottsdale office is seen by Dr. Jaslean Ahuja-Michals, a licensed Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.). Rather than fitting devices off a shelf, Dr. Ahuja-Michals runs a complete diagnostic evaluation, then prescribes and programs your treatment to your specific hearing profile, following the research-based protocols developed by neuroscientist Dr. Keith Darrow (Ph.D., a joint Harvard Medical School and MIT program in Speech and Hearing Bioscience). That’s the difference between simply amplifying sound and actually helping you understand speech again.

Tinnitus Treatment in Scottsdale, AZ
If you’re dealing with constant ringing, buzzing, or humming that won’t quit, you’re not stuck with it. Our Scottsdale office provides clinical tinnitus treatment built on the neuroscience protocols developed by Dr. Keith Darrow, not white-noise gadgets or “just learn to live with it” advice. We start with a full evaluation to measure your tinnitus and identify what’s driving it, because in most cases tinnitus is tied to an underlying hearing loss the brain is trying to compensate for.
From there, Dr. Jaslean Ahuja-Michals builds a management plan designed to reduce how loud and intrusive your tinnitus feels over time. For many Scottsdale patients, treating that underlying hearing loss is what finally quiets the ringing. Every plan comes with affordable monthly options and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Our Scottsdale Patient Reviews
“I had a 5-star experience with Dr. Jaslean at Hearing and Brain Centers of America in Scottsdale. It was absolutely well worth the drive.
Dr. Jaslean was incredibly thorough and took a very personal approach throughout my visit. She made me feel completely comfortable from the start and spent the time to truly understand my concerns. What stood out most was how clearly she explained how the ear works and what happens with hearing loss—it was both educational and reassuring.
You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and is passionate about what she does. I never felt rushed, and every question I had was answered thoughtfully.
I highly recommend Dr. Jaslean to anyone looking for expert, compassionate hearing care. Oh , and most important …,,I CAN HEAR !!!”
– Sheila Lang
“I’m so excited! I love my new Oticon hearing aids. We’ve got to come up with a cooler name!
Dr. Michals and Sarah took good care of me! I’ll thrilled. Got them on Monday, and I’m already wearing for up to 10 hours or more a day!
Thank you Ladies! Take care.

Congratulations to Dr.M on her new son“– Laurie Thrasher

Our Scottsdale office sits on the northeast corner of Pinnacle Peak Road and Pima Road, in the professional plaza next to Lamp Pizzeria at 8900 E Pinnacle Peak Rd, Suite C-2. The suite is on the ground floor with full accessibility and dedicated parking directly in front, no garage, no elevator, no hunting for a spot.
We’re easy to reach from across the Valley by way of Loop 101 and Pima Road. Most patients from North Scottsdale, DC Ranch, Grayhawk, Troon, and the Pinnacle Peak area reach us in 10–15 minutes, and we regularly see patients driving up from central and south Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Carefree, and Fountain Hills who want an audiologist-led practice rather than a retail hearing aid outlet. If you’ve been putting off hearing care because your provider was across town, this office was built to give the north Valley a closer option.

Frequently asked Questions
I have used hearing aids for years from a different provider. Can you take over my care?
Yes, this is one of the most common situations we see at our Scottsdale office. If your current devices are still in good shape, we can often clean, reprogram, and adjust them to perform better than they have in years. If they are at the end of their useful life, we will tell you that honestly and walk you through replacement options. Many of our long-term Scottsdale patients came to us after becoming frustrated with retail providers who treated them like a transaction rather than a relationship.
I am still working and play golf or pickleball regularly. Will hearing aids hold up?
Modern prescription hearing aids handle outdoor activity well. Most current devices have moisture and dust resistance ratings that protect against sweat, light rain, and fine dust common in the desert. For Scottsdale patients who play golf, pickleball, hike, or spend time at outdoor events, your audiologist can program a dedicated outdoor or social setting that helps you hear in those environments without compromising the rest of your day. Bring up your specific activities at your fitting and we will program around them.
Are seasonal residents and snowbirds welcome at the Scottsdale office?
Absolutely. We see seasonal residents regularly and structure care around shorter stays when needed. If you spend part of the year elsewhere, we can coordinate with another HBCA location closer to your home address, or arrange remote programming adjustments through a follow-up call so you do not need to wait until you return to Scottsdale for fine-tuning.
How do you compare to system audiology clinics like Mayo Clinic, HonorHealth, or Banner?
Major system clinics in the Valley offer excellent diagnostic and medical audiology, especially for complex cases involving balance, vertigo, or surgical candidacy. Where they tend to fall short is in long-term hearing aid fitting and ongoing care, which often gets routed through limited-availability specialists or referred elsewhere. Our Scottsdale office focuses specifically on the long-term treatment relationship, fitting, programming, and supporting your hearing devices over years. We are not a replacement for your specialist when something medical is going on; we are the practice you stay with for hearing care after a clear treatment direction is set.
Where exactly is your office at Pinnacle Peak and Pima?
Our office is at 8900 E Pinnacle Peak Rd, Suite C-2, on the northeast corner of Pinnacle Peak and Pima, right next to Lamp Pizzeria. Dedicated parking is available directly in front of the office, and the suite is on the ground floor with full accessibility. From most North Scottsdale neighborhoods you can be at the office in 10–15 minutes.
