Fantastic attention to detail not only with people skills but testing and validation of hearing instruments. Prices and warranties are great with a great selection of top name brands. So glad I found this audiologist!! read more

If I could give more than five stars....I would!! Alec, from West Coast Audiology is the best. So knowledgeable, patient and informative, and very reasonably priced. Just broke down and bought my second pair of aids from Alec. Eight years is a long time, but the service i got out of Alec, and my Siemens Life 5mi was excellent. At Alec's recommendation, this time got two Phonak Audeo P aids. Alec spent two and a half hours fitting and demonstrating the aids. Alec is more concerned about my hearing health, than making a sale. Service, selection and quality....he has it all!! read more

I've been going to Alex for many years now. I've been to several different audiologists over the years, but that stopped when I discovered Alex. He's even worth me driving from the Coachella Valley to San Diego to have him assist me with my hearing aids. Fantastic, truly caring service at the right price. Thank you, Alex! read more

My health insurance company sent me a list of audiologists in my area that they work with. West Coast Audiology was one of them on the list. I looked at Alec's Yelp reviews and was surprised to see only 5-Star reviews with detailed, glowing descriptions. How could this be legit? Did the guy write all of these reviews himself? Well, from my experience with Alec, I've concluded that these glowing reviews must be legit. This guy is fabulous. He really knows his stuff and he provides incredible customer service. When my wife was shopping for her hearing aids several years earlier, I went with her to some of her audiologists visits--we hadn't discovered Alec back then, and I could see nothing wrong with the service and care that she received from the two audiologists she visited. However, when she and I went to Alec for my hearing aids, we both agreed that Alec provided MUCH better and more careful service than she received from her providers. It was not even close. He even recommended a hearing aid that was one-third the price of the one I thought I would want based on my in-depth research. Alec provides incredible care at very reasonable prices! So is this guy too good to be true? Nope. Better. read more

I have been a patient/client of Alec Graham's for about ten years and have always been impressed with his honesty and helpfulness. But because I had been having trouble understanding people who were wearing masks due to Covid-19, I wanted to know if any new hearing aid technology had been developed that could help me. I called Alec, and he re-tested my hearing, answered all my questions, and let me try new hearing aids coupled with the latest remote Bluetooth devices. He was willing to support me in every way possible, but at the same time he never pressured me or fed unrealistic expectations. I am a woman in my upper eighties, a stranger in the world of technology. Alec empowered me to make an informed decision. I wholeheartedly recommend Alec Graham for anyone who is looking for an audiologist. read more

I had been a client for about five years of another hearing aid place in El Cajon. Lately, I was having a problem with my hearing aids and this place told me both receivers needed to be replaced at a cost of $300. In the past, I had shelled out $150 two times to replace receivers, so at this point I was becoming suspicious. I followed my instinct, which was to get a second opinion and drove to West Coast Audiology where I met Alec Graham. He examined and tested my hearing aids and got both of them working again by simply replacing the little white wax traps. Alec charged me $25, but saved me $300! I was shocked the other place tried to scam me, but apparently this kind of thing goes on all the time, including even at Costco! My advice is to always get more than one opinion if something doesn't sound quite right/kosher about a part, etc., especially when it comes to replacing a receiver. West Coast Audiology is a little tricky to locate, as the building and entrance is not directly on Alvarado Road. The parking lot entrance actually is off Saranac Place. Before driving there, I suggest looking at a map, such as Google Maps, to get an idea where this place is located. Also, if you call Alec and get voicemail, leave a message. The quickest way to reach him, though, is to send an e-mail message to: alec.graham@hearsd.com. read more

I could not recommend Alec Graham at West Coast Audiology more highly. When I purchased a pair of Signia hearing aids from him over five years ago, his prices were the most reasonable I was able to find, and he took the time to do necessary testing and make sure these hearings aids were working well for me. And since then, he's resolved a number of issues to keep my hearing aids in service, even when I thought I might have to purchase new ones. Further, when I asked him whether I should consider new hearing aids, he gave me an objective response, rather than slanting his response in favor of my purchasing a new set of hearing aids from him, which I might have expected. For these reasons, I can give him an unreserved five star rating. read more

This morning, I put my hearing aids in and was thrilled to be able to hear the shower running in the next room and to hear how far away the construction was outside the window. Yesterday, Alec did my annual hearing test and adjusted my hearing aids. It was the smallest change but made such a big difference. I used to go to Scripps. I started going to Alec a few years ago, when I bought my hearing aids through him and I'd never go anywhere else now. Alec is so attentive, helpful and patient. A lot of what I describe to him in my visit is completely subjective but he's so knowledgeable that he just nods along and then knows how to fix it. He's spent more than one visit explaining how the ear works to me when I had questions about something. When I needed some additional middle ear testing because of a genetic condition, he was able to do the testing and then point to the data that told him why that was not a factor in my hearing loss. I originally bought my hearing aids through him because his pricing was hands down better than any in the area and because the level of service he said was included was unheard of (hah!) elsewhere. And it's true! On every visit, he pulls apart my hearing aids and tests them and replaces the parts that need replacing and I walk out with fully functional hearing again. It is obvious to me that he really does have an interest in actually helping his customers. read more

SIMPLY THE BEST!! Alec is the best audiologist in SD. He provides the best costumer service, he calls to make sure everything is ok with his patient afterwards. I brought my Dad to him after I found him online because he is located closed by my house. I am so glad I found him. I compared his prices to Costco, and other places but he had the BEST prices and the Best costumer service. My dad doenst speak English, and he was extremely patient with that translation situation. My dad wanted to know everything, and our appointment took forever, and he was sooo nice and patient. My Dad is know back in Brazil and he is super happy with his hearing aid by Phonak! Thanks to Alec Graham. It has completely changed my family's life! My dad can hear now :) read more

My wife and I visited 4 different hearing aid doctors in 2010 then we found West Coast Audiology the price was so much cheaper. We set up an appointment and was tested and advised which hearing aids would suit me best, they were adjusted so when I work in a restaurant I can still hear the customer and not the pots and pans in the back ground. That was 13 years ago and things wear out so it was time to visit again. I have my new pair service was very professional and my new pair of hearing aids work great in fact now I can answer my phone using blue tooth capabilities and I can hear the birds again thanks Alec read more

Alec is very thorough and patient in explaining how to wear and clean hearing aid. Have been bringing my elderly father to him for several years. His prices are great, too. He seems to genuinely care about his clients/patients. read more

Wow! What a find! All those highly positive Yelp reviews are correct. Alec is very professional, but friendly, very thorough, and, perhaps most important, is patient with older folks getting their first hearing aids, and who don't have a clue what to ask. And, his prices are very competitive. What more could you want? Highly recommended! read more

AWESOME is the best way to describe West Coast Audiology! Alec at West Coast Audiology helped me get the perfect hearing aids for me. He was patient, honest & caring with me. Allowing me to try different styles and brands, until I found the perfect ones for my hearing loss and lifestyle needs. He answered any and all questions I had and never got frustrated with me. He continues to provide excellent service for repairs and tune ups on my hearing aids. I found Alec when I was searching for a particular kind of hearing aid on the internet. West Coast Audiology just happened to be the cheapest place for the particular hearing aid I was looking for at the time. He was located in La Mesa which was even better for me. His prices are not to be beat anywhere! Alec gave me the gift of hearing & I will always be grateful to him for that! . read more

The best audiologist on the West Coast. Provides excellent service while providing the lowest prices possible for hearing aids. Alec is extremely percise, professional, honest, and trustworthy. He is also one of the most accurate because he has all of the up-to-date equipment. I went to an audiologist in San Francisco and while I was there, I was asked for an extremely large some of money for a particular brand of hearing aids. When my father had contacted Alec, he was realistic and truthful. He told my father that the San Francisco audiologist had offered a hearing aid that I really didn't need for the price. Alec told him that there is another brand of hearing aids that would suit myself better, and at half the price. Alec had also found an error that the other audiologist in San Francisco had made when she did my hearing test on me! I recommend Alec to anyone with hearing needs. read more

Alec is amazing! He is a kind human being who really cares about a person's ability to hear well. He has gone out of his way to repair my aids and give me an appt at last minute notice. Best of it all the prices are the best in San Diego. Go see Alec, you will never regret it and your pocketbook will thank you!!! read more

It is hard to find a truly independent audiologist. Most audiologists are associated with a company that manufacturers hearing aids, and that is all they sell and what they push. Alec is different. As an independent audiologist, he can get any brand hearing aid so he only recommends the best for his patients. He sells the hearing aids at a flat mark-up price, therefore cheaper than most other audiologists. Alec is honest, very patient, straight forward and helpful. He explained the differences in hearing aids and recommended the best hearing aids for me at a reasonable price. I am thankful to have West Coast Audiology and will always come back to Alec. read more

Perhaps like many people it took awhile for me to finally decide that I needed to get hearing aids! After struggling to hear some of my students (I'm a teacher), I remembered my friend's recommendation of Alec Graham at West Coast Audiology in La Mesa. I value good customer service and I've never met anyone more competent, caring, and professional than Alec. He provided a very thorough initial examination and answered all my questions, which enabled me to select the best hearing aids for my needs. When they arrived I returned to his office for my "fitting" and Alec spent considerable time making sure they were adjusted properly. He then scheduled a follow-up meeting a few weeks later to make sure I was satisfied with them and answer any questions I might have. Alec changed my life for the better and I told him I can hear the birds singing again! I have recommended Alec to my friends and highly recommend him to anyone who is exploring the possibility of wearing hearing aids! I should add that.most people don't even realize I am wearing them, as they fit inside my ear. And the cost of his service and the hearing aids is far less than any other place I have researched. read more

This is a truely good place to go to the doctor was extremely helpful... I found out about through Yelp the experience was great so I decided to leave a good review read more

I took my father to see the audiologist at West Coast Audiology. He was a bit skeptical about anything having to do with hearing aids. Alec Graham might just be the most patient practitioner we have met. He is thorough, not at all pretentious, and most of all, a very respectful person. The exam was free. The prices appear to be very good (though this is all new to us). The office is small, yet very accommodating. The experience was positive all the way around. Will update one day after Dad has a chance to try out the new hearing devices. I think he is really looking forward to hearing better. He was not at all put off by the design of the piece he tried out. In fact, I am tempted to say he was amazed by the technology after having heard so many of his friends complain in the past about their hearing aids. His reluctance was overcome during the visit. (I am jumping for joy!) He is planning to tell his friends to come over to West Coast Audiology and see if they, too, will be pleasantly surprised. Thank you Alec Graham. You made the experience much easier than expected and we are so grateful for all of your help. read more

I found West Coast Audiology by doing a search on the Internet; I could not be more pleased with the service I received. From promptly returning my call to make an appointment to guiding me along the way. I was looking for hearing aids for my 91-year old Dad to use for the first time. On the phone, Alec was fantastic, informative and knowledgeable. We set up an appt, he was very careful to let me know that the office was not easy to find so I made an effort to find it ahead of the interview. He was courteous when we got to his office. Once the appt started, he took as much time as Dad needed to explain and make sure Dad understood about hearing aids. Because Dad has never worn hearing aids, Alec recommended a voice amplifier box which was very easy for Dad to understand. Alex was never condescending or impatient; he made sure Dad understood how to work the volume wheel on the device and even put the television on a Spanish-Speaking channel so Dad could test the new device; my Dad speaks and understands English, but his native language is Spanish. I am so thankful that I found Alec and I recommend his services highly. read more

I brought my 80 year old dad here for a new set of hearing aids. Dr is friendly and very thorough! Will continue to make the drive from Rancho Bernardo to La Mesa for Dr.Graham's services for my dad! read more

Understanding my hearing needs, I spent ninety days in the marketplace doing extensive research, after all, it was my hearing at stake. Then, I arrived at West Coast Audiology and it all came together! The darkness became light, if you will. It was a professional experience like no other I'd ever had. Mr. Alec Graham is UNIQUE. He offered compassion, understanding, unsurpassed knowledge of his field, along with the utmost in integrity and respect. Also, he possessed an uncompromising will to meet my personal hearing needs, physically, and to couple them with my varied lifestyle. His conciencious service before, during, and after purchase were second to none. After three intensive months, an experience that seemed so difficult became so transparent and pleasant. It is without reservation that I enthusiastically recommend Mr. Graham and West Coast Audiology. Prudently, check out what you must, but before you make any commitment, make sure to stop by W.C.A. and it will become YOUR EXPERIENCE, like no other. And, by the way, you will save at least one-third to one -half of what you will pay elsewhere, if that's important to you. It sure was to me. I can assure you that your experience with Mr. Graham and West Coast Audiology will be both new and rereshing, and will pay dividends for a lifetime. I know, because I've been there, and it's as good as it gets! read more

I went to Alec having worked with other audiologists who were selling a product rather than helping me. I actively push all my hearing impaired friends to Alec simply because he is so very competent, has all the most modern equipment, and truly cares about helping get me the equipment that helps me the most. He is not selling anything to me, just showing me what the market has to meet my needs and then he fits them and orders them and happily takes them back so I can try a different brand. I must be his most difficult patient yet he is spectacularly patient and cheerful as I break things and forget his patient explanations on connecting remote devices! Even more remarkable, his prices are at least 15% cheaper than other places were friends have bought the same hearing aids. If you have problems hearing and understanding people, I urge you to go to Alec, he is the cheapest and most professional in the business - and I have had some experience to allow me to make this claim.

West Coast Audiology and Alec Graham are at the top of their game. I was having trouble hearing conversations with background noise, and I had complete loss in my right ear due to an accumulation of pistol range accidents. I wasn't hopeful that I'd ever again hear anything on my right side. Alec tested my hearing and recommended Phonak CROS II hearing aids. The device on my right ear picks up sounds from my right and transmits it into my left ear via a Bluetooth connection. My life has changed. I can now hear clearly in restaurants and at parties, and I'm no longer stupidly smiling or nodding when I can't hear what someone is saying to me. The care that Alec provided was top notch and I really value his extended service program. When my aids recently had a problem, Alec gave me a loaner, and sent my aids back to Phonak. Two days later I had brand new hearing aids. Amazing. Thanks, Alec! read more

West Coast Audiology and Alec Graham are exceptional! I came here because I was not happy with the audiologist that my primary care physician recommended. I am so glad I did. Alec is professional and caring and it is obvious that he goes beyond the typical 'numbers-only' attitude that too many establishements project. His prices are very reasonable - much less than what I had been quoted at the other audiologist. But most of all, he spent time and was concerned that I had a good understanding of my options so that I could make an informed choice. I recommend him HIGHLY. read more
