About Gil Magilen

Gil Magilen, founder and director of Hearing Centers Network, runs two dispensary clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area (one based in Walnut Creek, the other in Vallejo).  He has been at the forefront of modern developments in hearing assistance technology for over 20 years.  Dr. Magilen earned his Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of California, Berkeley, an M.S. in Biology from Long Island University, and a B.S. in Natural Science from Iowa Wesleyan College.  This was followed by neuroscience research at the University of California, San Francisco funded by the National Institute on Aging.  An interest in hearing problems took him from the laboratory into the clinic.  A continuous student of cognitive neuroscience, he is a lecturer and author of articles on the use of scientific technologies for the complex task of tuning hearing aids to maximize user satisfaction.

Dr. Magilen is committed to transforming the hearing aid industry from a sales and delivery system into a profession that responsibly applies sound processing technologies for individual needs.  He has recently received a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office pertaining to the objective clinical fine-tuning of hearing aids for the hearing impaired.  He continues to be a tireless clinician, supervising a carefully chosen staff of hearing professionals.  Working directly with a wide range of patients, he discovers the source of their hearing deficits and provides them with his best possible solution.
