About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Better Hearing Center and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you ever get customers who come in asking for an earwax removal service?’ The receptionist smiled knowingly. 'Oh yes,' she said with a twinkle in her eye. 'Once a neighbor came in complaining his ears were so full of wax he could hear better through them!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who left whistling a happy tune.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered the Better Hearing Center and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you know why they say “better hearing” instead of just “hearing”?’ He paused for effect before adding, ‘Because here, even silence needs an appointment!’ A few days later, a delivery driver arrived with a package. As he signed for it, someone whispered from behind him, 'Excuse me, but do you need an appointment to hear that?' The driver turned around and saw only empty chairs—apparently, even whispers had to be scheduled here.
3. One afternoon, a young mother walked into the Better Hearing Center with her crying baby in tow. ‘Excuse me,’ she asked the receptionist, ‘do you know why my baby always starts laughing hysterically whenever he comes here?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's easy! Your baby loves our waiting room because it's filled with the most soothing music we've ever found.' The mother laughed and said, 'Really? I'll have to ask him next time!' And from that day on, every visit became a little musical adventure for both of them.
4. In the middle of the night, someone left a mysterious box on the steps of the Better Hearing Center. When staff opened it in the morning, they found… Inside was an old pair of earplugs with a note: ‘For your noisy patients!’ Turned out, a regular had mistakenly dropped them off.
