About Parker Hearing

Family-owned and operated since 1975, rooted in a real personal story

A Family Legacy Built on Care

Founded in 1975, Parker Hearing began with the vision of Dr. William Lee Parker, whose life and career were deeply shaped by his upbringing as the child of deaf parents. Witnessing firsthand how hearing loss affects communication, relationships, and quality of life inspired Dr. Parker to dedicate his career to helping people reconnect with the joy of sound.

That passion didn’t stop with him. Today, Parker Hearing remains proudly family-owned and operated, with three of Dr. Parker’s four children working in the audiology field. The practice is currently led by Josh and Andrea Parker, who carry forward their father’s commitment to compassionate, ethical, and effective hearing care. Parker Hearing isn’t corporate, and it isn’t a small mom-and-pop shop either. It’s a family-run practice built on experience, trust, and long-term relationships.

Hearing Care Built Around You

When you come to Parker Hearing, you’re more than a patient—you’re a person with unique needs, challenges, and goals. We take the time to get to know you and your loved ones so we can provide the best possible care. Our goal is not simply to sell a product, but to ensure you leave hearing better than before and fully confident in the choices you’ve made.

We believe informed patients make better decisions. That’s why we focus on education, transparency, and honest communication. Life is full of meaningful sounds, and our mission is to help you stay connected to the moments that make life joyful.

Honest Answers, Plain Language

At Parker Hearing Institute, we take pride in speaking in clear, non-technical language. We openly discuss hearing loss, modern hearing technology, the psychological effects of hearing impairment, industry trends, corporate medicine, and even pricing. We’re not afraid of the truth—and that commitment to honesty is reflected in both our in-office consultations and our public messaging.

Whether you want detailed technical explanations or simple, straightforward guidance, we tailor our approach to you. Some people want to understand every circuit and feature. Others just want to know why hearing feels easier at home than in noisy restaurants. Either way, we’re here to explain, educate, and guide.

Personalized Solutions, Real-Life Results

Every hearing loss is unique, as shown by your audiogram. But beyond that, every lifestyle presents different listening challenges. A professional attending meetings and seminars has different needs than someone focused on phone calls, television, or conversations at home. We consider all of it—your daily environments, comfort with technology, family concerns, and budget—to create solutions that truly fit your life.

Successful hearing health is an ongoing process. It often includes adjustments to settings over time, custom programs for different listening environments, and guidance for family members on better communication strategies. We view hearing care as a long-term partnership, not a one-time transaction.

A People-First Practice

Hearing care is, at its core, a people business. It requires empathy as much as expertise. Seeing our patients regain confidence, reconnect socially, and enjoy life more fully is what drives us every day. We measure success not just in technology, but in smiles, relationships, and improved quality of life.

At Parker Hearing, we truly want to help, and that commitment has been at the heart of our family practice for generations.
