At West Coast Hearing & Balance, our number one priority is to ensure the health and wellbeing of our patients. Our community during the global crisis must continue to follow our easy 5 stage guide to protect ourselves and the most vulnerable people in the local area.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 and most recently the new Omicron variant, we at West Coast Hearing & Balance Center have implemented a 5 stage procedure as a way of reassuring all visitors and to ensure that our patients and local population continue to live full, healthy, happy lives.

West Coast Hearing & Balance, Our 5 Stage – Step by Step Guide.
#1 – Hand Wash On Arrival
We’re positive that by now, everyone is carrying an army platoon supply worth of sanitizer; however, every one upon arrival at our centers must approach our check-in desk and use the hand sanitizer provided.
A quick squirt in the hands and a thorough rub in, and that’s it, your hands are sanitized.
#2 – Patient Health Check Before Arrival
All guests and patients are being asked to review our “safety criteria” before attending our premises. We simply must insist that you don’t attend if you are suffering from any of the following, a fever running at 100.4 or above, a cough, runny nose, or shortness of breath.
If, for instance, you find yourself suffering from any one of these ailments, we kindly insist you reschedule your appointment; contact us here. And someone will be in immediate contact with you.
Our strict guidelines also insist that you reschedule your appointment if you have been in contact with anyone who has been diagnosed with Coronavirus, contact us for advice on how best to reschedule your appointment following that situation.
#3 – Thorough Cleaning Between Appointments
To reassure all visitors and patients, we have increased the time between each appointment, giving us additional time to sanitize all surfaces thoroughly.
This ensures that all patients are stepping into a sterile and safe environment. From the patient’s chair, headphones, right down to pens, all our equipment will be thoroughly sterilized before each appointment.
At West Coast Hearing & Balance, your health and wellbeing will always be our number one priority.
