Handshake

By building personal relationships with people, one company at a time, Phicore has become the premier "Hearing Conservation Program" (HCP) services provider in the Pacific Northwest. We are continually setting new and higher standards in the industry using innovative techniques and modern technology to simplify the processes.

We are a company with a passion for hearing conservation that utilizes a keen business sense. We work to build life long relationships with people, not superficial acquaintances with companies.

Tacoma

Specializing in hearing conservation and noise level monitoring, Phicore will work with our clients to create highly effective and successful programs directing risk management now and into the future.

It is our goal to educate and motivate each employee in hearing conservation in order to help preserve their hearing for their lifetime, while minimizing noise induced hearing loss claims throughout the company.

Our expertise has been derived from servicing industries in the Pacific Northwest for more than 27 years. Our relationships with our customers, the consistency in quality of our services, and the cost effectiveness of our pricing structure make us the obvious choice for servicing our clients' compliance needs.

Understanding the difference between an effective hearing conservation program versus just a compliance one is the key to preventing Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). Phicore's services are delivered by experienced and dedicated employees who are passionate about hearing conservation and understand the difference.

PHICORE — The Meaning Behind Our Name

Why "Phicore" you ask? Allow me to explain...

Phi Symbol

Phicore is made up of two words: PHI and Core

Phi equals Life… What is Phi?

Phi (Φ = 1.618033988749895...), most often pronounced fi like "fly," is simply an irrational number like pi (π = 3.14159265358979...), but one with many unusual mathematical properties. The ratio determined by Phi (1.618...) was known to the Greeks as the "dividing a line in the extreme and mean ratio" and to Renaissance artists as the "Divine Proportion." It is also called the "Golden Section, Golden Ratio and the Golden Mean."

What makes phi unusual is that it can be derived in many ways and shows up in relationships throughout the universe. Phi appears in the proportions of the human body, animals, plants, DNA, the solar system, art, architecture, and music. Learn more at www.goldennumber.net.

Core Four

Core equals Friends...

Core represents the "Core Four" as we were called in the day. Myself and my closest friends that pulled me into this industry and showed me the way of the ear! They helped nurture and develop the passion for hearing conservation for which I have today. I pay tribute to them in the name for being there over the years, teaching me to never give up on my dreams, and to always follow my heart.

If Phi equals Life and Core equals Friends,
then Phi + Core = Life Friends

"Life Friends" is not only the meaning of Phicore, but it is the philosophy by which we conduct our business. We are not in the industry to become the biggest and largest HCP service provider in the Pacific Northwest. We are in the industry to become the best! By creating and nurturing "lifelong friendships" with the people in our industry, we have become the new touchstone of service by which all other hearing conservation programs will follow!
