Established in 2010 near Sunset Cliffs in Point Loma, Peninsula Hearing & Balance Center provides diagnostic audiology and vestibular testing from its Rosecrans Street office under the direction of Dr. Dena Riso, Au.D., F-AAA. The practice's balance-disorder evaluation suite — including auditory brainstem response testing, videonystagmography, and BPPV assessment — processes referrals from peninsula primary care physicians such as Dr. Anthony T. Nasser, MD for patients presenting with chronic dizziness or vertigo. Dr. Riso earned her doctorate from A.T. Still University and holds Fellowship status with the American Academy of Audiology, complementing her clinical work with community involvement through the Point Loma Association and Ocean Beach Main Street Association. Vestibular-rehabilitation cases identified through the center's diagnostic testing are co-managed with physical therapy providers including Spine & Sport Physical Therapy - Point Loma for fall-prevention and gait-stability protocols. The center's most complex evaluations involve multi-test vestibular batteries differentiating peripheral inner-ear dysfunction from central neurological pathology, with 48-hour physician reporting and coordinated follow-up across audiology, neurology, and rehabilitation teams.
