“We want to go out into the community where the people live.”
For five years, Peter Giordano’s hearing was in steady decline. Nearly all facets of the 74-year old La Honda resident’s life suffered — his work as an audio engineer, his social life and his relationship with his wife, Deanna Anderson. Anderson recalled increasing tensions with her husband at home as his ears deteriorated.
Becky Dolan, Au. D. of Pacific Hearing Connection talks with patient Peter Giordano of La Honda on Oct. 26, 2022, in Los Altos, Calif. “We want to go out into the community where the people live,” Baxter said. “Our hardest thing is having people know about us because they don’t live near our office … We really want to get a van that we can just go out and see where these people are.”
The company eventually grew enough to open a second office in Atherton, later moving to Menlo Park. In 2014, the pair decided to embark on international humanitarian trips to low-income countries without world-class hearing care. In trips to countries like Guatemala, Mozambique and even some middle-eastern refugee camps, an epiphany changed the course of Pacific Hearing Service.
Patient Peter Giordano’s hearing aid devices are examined and serviced to make sure all of the fuctions are working properly during Giordano’s appointment with Becky Dolan, Au. D. of Pacific Hearing Connection on Oct. 26, 2022, in Los Altos, Calif. The new nonprofit quickly changed lives in the Bay Area. Baxter recalled one man whose poor performance in job interviews prevented him from getting work; after he received hearing aids from Pacific Hearing Connection, he was soon hired. Another woman, a high-ranking Silicon Valley tech worker, lost her hearing after head trauma sustained in a car crash. Baxter said Pacific Hearing Connection helped her recover some of her hearing ability.
