About

Albuquerque Hearing & Balance is committed to being the leading provider of hearing & balance services in New Mexico. We exceed our patients’ expectations

Story

Albuquerque Hearing and Balance started as a successful one-woman practice for Carol L. Clifford in 1998, and has grown into New Mexico's largest private audiology group. Carol attributes Albuquerque Hearing and Balance success to her staff of audiologists and their support staff. "I truly believe we have the most talented, compassionate, skilled, dedicated audiologists in the state. We change people's lives on a daily basis," she says.

Hearing loss is one of the most common health conditions in the US. The audiologists at Albuquerque Hearing and Balance craft custom solutions for their patients, who range from newborns to age 104, and when a patient is fitted with the proper device and their ears are opened, it can be quite emotional. Carol's stories are chock full of anecdotes, like a 17-year-old girl who burst into tears when her custom device allowed her to hear for the first time since she was five.
