What Is Hearing Loss?
Do you often have a hard time keeping up with conversations or feel like sounds are more muffled than they should be? If so, you may be one of the more than 50 million Americans living with hearing loss. Hearing loss can range from partial to total, and it can occur for a variety of reasons, from temporary ear conditions to age and noise exposure.
Beach Cities ENTS is proud to have partnered with Virsono Hearing Center to provide specialized solutions for hearing loss patients in Torrance, CA and throughout the South Bay. With a variety of hearing aids available, you can select a model that fits your needs and lifestyle.
If you're struggling with hearing loss and live near Torrance, CA, we invite you to contact Beach Cities ENTS to set up an evaluation and discuss your options for hearing aids.
How Do You Support Patients with Hearing Loss?
Treatment for hearing loss depends on what is causing the problem. In some cases, simple solutions, such as removing earwax or treating an infection, can restore hearing. If there is a structural concern inside the ear, your provider at Beach Cities ENTS may recommend surgery to correct the issue.
For individuals with long-term or permanent hearing loss, we offer a selection of effective, reliable hearing aids. Your audiologist will work closely with you to select the right device based on your level of hearing loss, daily routine, and personal preferences. Today's hearing aids are designed to be discreet and comfortable, with advanced technology that you can adjust for different situations.
Whether you prefer a completely invisible hearing aid or one that sits comfortably in the ear, our hearing aid specialists in Torrance, CA will help you fit your device and show you how to adjust it for clarity and comfort. We also provide ongoing support for patients with hearing aids to help you get the most out of your device.

Hearing Loss Reviews
Very responsive, really caring staff. I experienced sudden hearing loss and they took me in same day. The doctor was super knowledgeable and gave me all the info I needed to move forward. Appreciate this place a lot.
I had hearing loss from a ball of wax. Sammy was amazingly skilled. It was a stubborn one and didn’t want to come out but Sammy’s finesse coaxed it out🙏 One look at Sammy and I relaxed. He looks and acts very calm and professional. Can’t thank him enough.
Wait time was shorter than expected. Dr. Levine got to the root of my hearing loss problem, and hopefully with the roper medication, and exercise program, my hearing loss will improve.
All the physicians and staff are all very kind and helpful. Dr. Eivas is seeing my nine-year-old daughter, and explains things to her in ways that keep her calm and that she understands. He is also very thorough. She has some sudden and inexplicable hearing loss. He immediately assessed her hearing at baseline, then at subsequent appointments. He also checked for infection, fluid in her ears, genetic markers, and ordered a brain MRI. I am thankful for his quick action and empathetic spirit.
Dr. Sesi has helped my daughter regain her hearing 100%!!!. She had 50% hearing loss in both ears in 2019. He is concise, knowledgeable, friendly and is so easy to talk to. He has made this very uneasy situation manageable and easy! Thank you Beach Cities ENT and thank you Dr.Sesi!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Beach Cities ENT fit hearing aids in Torrance?
Yes. We provide comprehensive hearing evaluations and, when appropriate, hearing aid fitting and follow-up care at our Torrance office. Our audiological team can help you select the right device for your type and degree of hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget.
How do I know if I need surgery or hearing aids for hearing loss?
That depends on the cause. Conductive hearing loss — caused by fluid behind the eardrum, a perforated eardrum, or bone abnormalities — may be correctable with surgery. Sensorineural hearing loss, the most common type, is typically addressed with hearing aids rather than surgery. A proper evaluation by our physician and audiologist will give you a clear answer specific to your case.
Does Medicare cover hearing loss evaluation at Beach Cities ENT?
Medicare Part B covers medically necessary audiological exams ordered by a physician when there is a specific medical reason — such as evaluating sudden hearing loss or dizziness. Routine hearing exams and hearing aids are generally not covered by traditional Medicare, though some Medicare Advantage plans may include hearing benefits. We can help clarify coverage when you call to schedule.
Does Beach Cities ENT treat sudden hearing loss?
Yes, and sudden hearing loss should be treated as an urgent medical situation. If you experience a rapid or sudden loss of hearing in one or both ears, please call our office immediately. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is most effectively treated within 72 hours of onset — early treatment with steroids significantly improves the chances of recovery.
How quickly can I get a hearing test at your Torrance office?
We typically schedule new patient appointments within 1–2 weeks. For sudden hearing loss or urgent concerns, call us directly and we will prioritize getting you in as quickly as possible. Audiological testing is performed at our Torrance office during your visit.
