I tried two hearing centers in Morgan Hill before making the drive to California Hearing Center, and I wish I'd done it sooner. Their evaluation identified issues my previous providers completely missed. Now I can hear clearly at work in our family's vineyard and enjoy conversations at the Garlic Festival without struggle. The drive up 101 is easy, and I usually combine it with shopping or visiting friends in San Carlos. Their expertise has made such a difference that I've convinced three friends from Gilroy to make the trip.
As a teacher at Gilroy High School, I need to hear my students clearly in various classroom environments. After being disappointed with a local provider, a colleague suggested California Hearing Center. The drive north has been absolutely worth it. They programmed specific settings for my classroom, the noisy cafeteria, and outdoor school events. I actually look forward to my appointments now—I use the drive to listen to audiobooks (which I can now hear perfectly!) and usually stop at Santana Row for lunch before heading home. The quality of care is incomparable.

Gilroy Hearing Care: Frequently Asked Questions
How does the agricultural environment in Gilroy affect hearing health?
Agricultural work common in Gilroy presents specific hearing challenges due to equipment noise, dust, and outdoor conditions. Long-term exposure to farm equipment can cause noise-induced hearing loss, while dust and moisture can affect hearing aid performance. Our solutions include specialized settings and features designed for agricultural workers, including dust resistance and noise protection.
Is the drive from Gilroy really worth it for hearing care?
Our Gilroy patients consistently tell us "yes." Many report that the thoroughness of our evaluations, precision of our programming, and quality of our ongoing care deliver significantly better results than closer options. The 40-50 minute drive a few times per year is a small investment for improved hearing that enhances your daily life in Gilroy all year round.
How can I make the most of my trip from Gilroy?
Many Gilroy patients combine their hearing appointments with other activities to maximize their time. Popular options include shopping at Stanford Shopping Center or Hillsdale Mall, dining at restaurants not available in Gilroy, visiting friends or family in the area, or attending cultural events on the Peninsula. We're happy to schedule your appointments at times that accommodate these additional activities.
Do you have special solutions for the Gilroy Garlic Festival and other local events?
Yes! We've worked with many Gilroy residents to create custom programs for the unique sound environments of the Garlic Festival and other community events. Our technology can be programmed to manage the specific types of background noise common at these gatherings while enhancing speech clarity, allowing you to fully participate in these important community traditions.
How many trips will I need to make from Gilroy for my hearing care?
After your initial evaluation and fitting (typically 2-3 visits), most patients only need to visit 2-3 times per year for regular maintenance and adjustments. We also offer some remote care options that can reduce the number of in-person visits needed. Our Gilroy patients find that this schedule is very manageable, especially given the significant benefits of receiving optimal hearing care.
Gilroy Hearing Health Facts
Agricultural workers in Gilroy have a 38% higher risk of developing noise-induced hearing loss compared to the general population due to long-term exposure to farm equipment. Additionally, the dusty conditions common in agricultural settings can affect hearing aid performance if not properly managed. Our specialized solutions address these unique challenges, helping Gilroy's agricultural community maintain better hearing health despite these occupational hazards.
