About Me

DR STUART HORN, AUDIOLOGIST: When I was a little boy, I wanted to become a Cardiologist. I once modeled, painted and labeled a human heart from clay to enter a science fair in the 5th grade. However, after graduating U.C.L.A., I never applied to Medical School. Eventually, I found Audiology on route to becoming a Speech Pathologist. An audiologist is a professional who diagnoses, treats, and manages individuals with hearing loss or balance problems. More than 28 million Americans have some type of hearing problem. I am married to a wonderful wife, Pearl (Ching Chen) and have a beautiful daughter April - 18 years and a great son Adam - 17 years. We have 2 dogs, several cats and 5 fish tanks.
