In Memory of Blanche Blackington, Doctor of Audiology
Founder and former president of San Diego Hearing Center, Blanche Blackington, Au.D. (Audiology) was devoted to serving the hearing healthcare needs of the San Diego community for over 30 years. She was passionate about the field of audiology and cared deeply about helping her patients hear and communicate better with their loved ones.
Blanche was well respected among her peers, by her staff, her patients, and even the state of California as a renowned expert in audiological diagnosis and treatment. She acted as a consultant for the Department of Consumer Affairs, Speech‑Language Pathology and Audiology Board, and Hearing Aid Dispensers Bureau.
She believed strongly in the importance of education and sharing her knowledge and passion for audiology with future generations of audiologists. She taught graduate‑level audiology courses at San Diego State University, was a fellow of the American Academy of Audiology, and was a member of the Academy of Doctors of Audiology.
Although Blanche will be deeply missed in the San Diego community and beyond, she leaves behind a lasting legacy through the practice she poured her heart and soul into.
Her wisdom and commitment to hearing health care continue through the dedication of those she taught and mentored, including Kalvin Perez, hearing aid dispenser and audiology technician. Kalvin worked alongside Blanche for seven years, learning from her expertise and witnessing the sincere care she provided to patients. It is with great pride and respect that Kalvin continues to serve patients at San Diego Hearing Center today.
Blanche Blackington left a lasting mark on the field of audiology, the community she loved, and the many lives she improved through better hearing.
