PACIFIC HEARING SERVICE
Your Hearing
There are two big misconceptions that many people make about hearing loss.
The first misconception is that hearing loss is a sign of being broken. This is wrong.
The truth is, hearing loss is often a sign that you’ve lived an abundant, rich life and experienced so many great things that your ears have struggled to keep up with you.
In the same way that driving your car fast will result in you having to change the tires sooner, hearing loss is often a result of leading a fast-paced life.
At Pacific Hearing Service, this often results in incredible people walking through our door with a story to share, and it often results in us being fortunate enough to not just care for people’s hearing but to also make new friends in the process.
The second misconception is that hearing devices alone are the solution to a hearing loss.
Great hearing technology is certainly a critical part of the equation but a small part of the puzzle when compared to the importance of working with the right experts.
As our community knows better than most, technology without human intelligence does not change the world. The combination of the two does.
With over 40 years’ experience caring for tens of thousands of patients throughout Silicon Valley, Pacific Hearing Service is trusted by patients, physicians, and many local organizations.

// Advanced Hearing Testing
When Was Your Last Hearing Test?
Although we all regularly have our teeth checked, our cholesterol tested, and get a yearly physical, hardly any of us regularly test our hearing.
Yet with 1 in 8 Americans now having some form of hearing loss, we’re passionate about raising awareness of healthy hearing and of the first signs of hearing loss.
// Prescription Hearing Aid Technology
The Advancements in Hearing Technology
People are often surprised to learn that today’s hearing technology is very different from what they expect.
Hearing technology has progressed at the same pace as much of the technology that our community is famous for. Gone are the obtrusive devices of yesteryear. Now, with small and discreet designs, incredible sound quality, and features including smartphone connectivity and rechargeability, hearing devices are tiny technological marvels.
// Tinnitus Treatment
Speak to a Hearing Professional about Tinnitus
The perception of sound in our head or ears affects most of us at one time in our lives. Persistent ringing, humming, hissing, or buzzing can be one of the most frustrating issues. But there is hope.
We’ve developed a thorough diagnostic hearing and tinnitus evaluation to determine not only the causes, but to develop a plan using a multiplicity of available therapies. No one has to accept the old adage, “You’ll just have to live with it.”

We’re proud to call Ann Hardy a patient: she’s a true Silicon Valley pioneer and a friend.
As a pioneer in computer programming, Ann joined IBM in New York in 1956. Among other projects, Ann worked on one of the first Fortran compilers, which was for STRETCH, IBM’s supercomputer of the day. STRETCH can now be seen in the Computer History Museum.
Ann’s hearing loss journey started when she visited her doctor to complain that she couldn’t hear very well. He referred her to Dr. Deborah Clark at Pacific Hearing Service.

// MY STORY
They are committed to getting the best results for each patient.
My first experience of a hearing challenge was when I had a sudden and profound hearing loss in my left ear. Prior to visiting Pacific Hearing Service, I didn’t have any concerns, but I was anxious to see what Dr. Baxter and her team could do for me.
My first impression was that Dr. Baxter and her team were extremely passionate about helping those who have lost their hearing and committed to getting the best results for each patient. They are also very thorough and knowledgeable.
They have improved my hearing so that I am not constantly having to say, “What did you say?” or, “Sorry, but I can’t hear you.”My overall verdict of Pacific Hearing Service is that they are excellent.
