Hearing Specialists & Hearing Aids in Glendale, AZ
Our Glendale office is located on N 79th Avenue in the Arrowhead area, serving patients across the West Valley, from Glendale and Peoria to Sun City, Surprise, Anthem, and the surrounding northwest Phoenix communities. With easy access from Loop 101 and Bell Road, our clinic gives West Valley residents a clinically grounded option for hearing care without the drive into central Phoenix or Scottsdale.
The Arrowhead and Sun City areas have one of the largest concentrations of retirees in the entire Phoenix metro, and that has shaped the way we built our Glendale practice. Many of our patients are still active, still social, still working in some capacity, and they want hearing care that respects their time and their experience as patients. We are not a high-volume retail showroom. We are a focused clinical practice that builds long-term care relationships.
Every patient at our Glendale office is seen by a licensed hearing specialist working from the same neuroscience-based protocols used across every Hearing & Brain Centers of America clinic. Those protocols were developed by Dr. Keith Darrow, a neuroscientist who holds a Ph.D. from a joint Harvard Medical School and MIT program in Speech and Hearing Bioscience, and whose research at the Eaton Peabody Lab at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary shaped the way we treat hearing loss and tinnitus. When a case calls for Doctor of Audiology–level diagnostics, we coordinate directly with the audiologists at our nearby Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Surprise offices, so you always have access to the right level of care.
Our services include comprehensive hearing evaluations, tinnitus assessments and management, prescription hearing aid fittings for both invisible and traditional devices, and ongoing care adjustments. Whether you are noticing changes in your hearing for the first time, dealing with persistent ringing in your ears, or have been wearing hearing aids for years and are looking for better care, our Glendale team can help.
Every treatment plan comes with affordable monthly payment options, 0% financing, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. No patient is turned away because of cost.
Hearing Care Services in Glendale
Hearing loss treatment
If you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves, struggling at restaurants, or having a hard time following conversations at family gatherings, you may be dealing with hearing loss. Our Glendale hearing specialist runs a full evaluation to determine the type and degree of your loss and builds a treatment plan around your daily life.
Tinnitus treatment
Persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming in your ears can affect sleep, focus, and quality of life. Our neuroscience-based approach evaluates tinnitus clinically, identifies contributing factors, and builds a management plan designed to reduce its impact over time.
Hearing aids in Glendale
When hearing devices are part of your treatment plan, our hearing specialist fits you with prescription hearing aids calibrated specifically to your hearing profile. We do not sell hearing aids off a shelf, we prescribe them based on your evaluation and program them to match your hearing loss pattern. Ongoing care is included in your monthly plan, which is something most retail providers do not offer.
Invisible hearing aids
Our invisible hearing aids sit deep inside the ear canal, custom-molded for comfort, and are virtually undetectable when worn. For Glendale patients hesitant to wear a visible device, invisible hearing aids are often the right starting point
Hearing Aids in Glendale, AZ
When hearing devices are part of your treatment plan, our Glendale hearing specialist fits you with prescription hearing aids programmed to your exact hearing profile, not a one-size-fits-all device off a shelf. We carry and program the leading manufacturers, including Oticon, Phonak, ReSound, Signia, Starkey, Unitron, and Widex, and match the technology to how you actually live, whether that’s staying sharp in conversation at the community clubhouse, out on the golf course, or across the dinner table with family.
Because so many of our Glendale and Sun City patients are on Medicare, it’s worth knowing that many Medicare Advantage plans include some level of hearing aid coverage, we’ll verify your specific benefits before your appointment. And what comes after the fitting is where we’re different: cleanings, reprogramming, adjustments, and ongoing support are all included in your monthly plan, so your devices keep performing for years. If you’re coming from another provider, bring your current aids in, we can often service and reprogram them before you ever consider replacing them.
Tinnitus Treatment in Glendale, AZ
Persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming in your ears can wear on your sleep, focus, and quality of life, and for a lot of West Valley patients it’s been brushed off as “just part of getting older.” It isn’t. Our Glendale office provides clinical tinnitus treatment grounded in Dr. Keith Darrow’s neuroscience protocols, starting with a full evaluation that measures your tinnitus and looks for what’s driving it. In most cases, tinnitus is tied to an underlying hearing loss the brain is trying to fill in.
From there we build a management plan designed to reduce how loud and intrusive the ringing feels over time. For many of our Sun City and Peoria patients, treating that underlying hearing loss is what finally turns the volume down. Every plan comes with affordable monthly options and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Frequently asked Questions
I live in Sun City and I have already tried a few hearing aid providers. What is different about HBCA?
Sun City has a long history of hearing aid retail, which means many of our Glendale patients have been through multiple providers before reaching us. The most common feedback we hear is that previous providers fit a device, charged for it, and then made follow-up adjustments difficult or expensive. Our model is different: ongoing care, programming changes, cleanings, and support are all included in your monthly treatment plan. You are not buying a product from us. You are entering a long-term care relationship.
Are you in network with the major Arizona Medicare Advantage plans I see advertised?
Most Sun City and West Valley residents have Medicare and many carry a Medicare Advantage plan through carriers like UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Aetna, BCBS Arizona, or others. We work with most major Medicare Advantage plans, and many of them offer some level of coverage for hearing aids. Coverage details vary by plan, so call our Glendale office and we will verify your specific benefits before your appointment.
How long do I have to wait for my first appointment?
We typically have first-visit availability within 1–2 weeks at the Glendale office, often sooner. If you are dealing with sudden hearing changes, significant tinnitus, or are concerned about a recent shift in your hearing, call us directly and we will work to fit you in sooner.
Do you offer in-home or telehealth visits for patients with mobility issues?
For patients who have difficulty traveling to the office, we are sometimes able to coordinate remote programming adjustments after an initial in-person fitting. The first visit and the device fitting do need to happen in person, but ongoing fine-tuning can often be handled through a phone call once your devices are programmed. If mobility is a concern for you or a family member, call us and we will discuss what options are available.
Where exactly is your office in the Arrowhead area?
We are at 18555 N 79th Avenue, Suite A101, in the professional plaza near the intersection of 79th Ave and Union Hills, just south of Bell Road. Dedicated parking is available, and the suite is on the ground floor with full accessibility. Most patients from Glendale, Peoria, and Sun City reach us in 10–15 minutes.
Does the Glendale office have an audiologist on site?
Our Glendale office is staffed by a licensed hearing specialist, not an on-site Doctor of Audiology. The practical difference: an audiologist holds a doctoral degree and handles the full range of hearing and balance issues, including complex medical and surgical cases, while a hearing specialist is licensed to test hearing and fit hearing aids and works from clinical protocols developed by audiologists. For the large majority of hearing aid and tinnitus care, our Glendale specialist can handle your treatment from start to finish, using the same neuroscience-based protocols as every HBCA office. If your case needs Doctor of Audiology–level diagnostics, for balance disorders, vertigo, or surgical candidacy, we coordinate directly with the audiologists at our Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Surprise offices.
Nearby Communities We Serve
Our Glendale office is convenient for patients from across the West Valley, including Glendale, Peoria, Sun City, Sun City West, Anthem, Surprise, Goodyear, Avondale, El Mirage, Youngtown, Litchfield Park, and the surrounding northwest Phoenix communities.
