As my hearing began to become less reliable, as a Kaiser member, I was evaluated at their Audiology…read moreDept. in Marin County. I was assessed to have "Moderate" hearing loss and specific hearing aids were recommended for me. The price was nearly $5000. and that was now some 8 years ago. They helped a little, but not enough to motivate me to wear them regularly. I retried them from time to time, consulted with the Audiology Dept. For help- which was not particularly helpful. They sat in a drawer. A couple of years ago, as I was missing more and more of conversations and after hearing more than a few rave reviews from people I knew, I went to the hearing Aid counter in Costco in Novato. BINGO!! A thorough assessment and then a newer version of the brand I had from Kaiser (Philips), some active instruction and for less than $2000. I could hear better! I have stopped in from time to time (no appointment needed) to have the ear pieces cleaned or to have the excellent software, which allows me many controls to align the devices with my need in specific environments, on my iPhone. Great service, quality devices at prices that are not even close to what is charged by private Audiologists or major health systems.

Fantastic, no more reverb like with the old Nano hearing aids…read more Chris ( audiologist technician )was so well trained that he did a better job than the Novato Audiologist who checked me. very thorough, high tech checking system! Phillips hearing aids saved me Thousands of $.

I will recommend them to everyone!

They did not give me a "hard sell" on any particular kind of hearing aid, and they actually let me try the different hearing aids, which is something that other audiologists have not allowed. I recommend them absolutely!

I took my mom here to get a hearing aid. Mr Clifford Pearson who has been doing this for many years…read moreexplained things very well. He was so gentle with my mom as he took molds of her ears. He has a lot of empathy as he wears a hearing aid himself. There are a lot of hearing aids available, it seems but he picked out what he thought what was best for her and her insurance covers. It will take a few weeks until her hearing aid is ready and hopefully it will help her but the experience with Mr Pearson was very good His office manager who was not in that day but I've spoken to her on the phone is also very sweet and friendly.

I found their testing to very easy, after they sat me down and explained my results. Someone who is in sales myself I didn't feel pressured to buy hearing aides. Hearing aides are an investment and need to feel comfortable. I wanted to make sure it had all the features I needed to help me with my daily tasks. The prior reviews I feel don't seem to reflect my experience and I'm giving them 5 stars for their professionalism, kindness and how they handled the whole process.

I have experienced hearing problems for…read morethe last number of years and have been examined, tested and diagnosed by several professional organizations. That, in itself, tells you everything. After being referred by my ENT I made an appointment with ASoM and expected the same "treatment" (both professionally and emotionally) by these folks. Boy, WAS I WRONG! My session lasted about 45 minutes and the instructions were clear, precise and professional. Not once, during my examination did I feel pitched, exposed or pressured into purchasing ANYTHING. The audiologist was incredibly well informed and well structured during my entire evaluation. She took the time to explain what each test was designed to diagnose as well as the results of each test. Within a week I received, by mail, a comprehensive evaluation of my visit. I scheduled a follow up appointment and was, once again, amazed! Yes, the "quality of life" can be improved in some people with the purchase of hearing devices and I left there with a total understanding of my hearing condition. They took into account my financial situation and NEVER pressured me into a purchase. Not ever a suggestion! They were even willing to lend me some "demo" units so that I could experience how my hearing loss could be altered in my day to day living. Throughout my entire experience with Audiology Services of Marin I felt that I was treated with respect, understanding and (most of all) compassion. I haven't spent a nickel out of my own pocket and continue to receive incredible audiology care and treatment. I believe that this organization treats hearing maladies above, and well beyond, the sale of devices. Not one email, snail mail or unwanted contact was ever received by my since my initial visit. Thank you for your continued professionalism and respect for your clients. I am sure that your business will continue thrive based on your attitude towards your profession. Like I said in my opening statement ... You owe yourself a visit to Audiology Services of Marin.

OK, I'll admit I'm a little embarassed to post this one, but after seeing my audiologist again…read moretoday, Andy Valla, at the Whisper Hearing Center I decided it's better to Yelp even if it is a little embarassing. I started losing my hearing in about 2000. I went to UCSF for testing / treatement, and ended up needing to get a hearing aid. My audiologist was SO awesome when he left UCSF to relocate to the Whisper Hearing Center in San Rafael a few years ago I decided to continue my audiology appointments with him there. The Center is equipped with all modern equipment, so testing hearing and fitting a hearing aid if needed is no problem, they have all the means to get it done right. I simply can't say enough good things about Dr. Andy Valla (he is a Dr. of Audiology, check out their website at www.whisperhearing.com). He is such a patient, honest, caring audiologist. Truth be told, I've had issues with my hearing since birth, so I've seen more than a few audiologists and Dr. Valla is the best. He works with you and listens to your frustrations (and believe me there are many with this condition) and keeps working with you until you are satisfied. Not many professionals in any business go the extra mile like he does. If you are experiencing any problems with dizziness, balance disorders, or hearing, I strongly encourage you to schedule an appt. to see Dr. Valla. I can guarantee you you'll be glad you did.
