I went to Marin Hearing Center after looking at reviews on Yelp and was not disappointed.

Kim is a true professional audiologist that cares about her patients and their needs. My experience at Marin Hearing Center was and exceptional one I have never been so well taken care of and fitted with proper hearing aids. For the first time since my hearing loss I can hear all the small sound I have missed for years.

Thank you so much Kim for the dedication you give your patients in making sure they are fitted with the correct device.

I would highly recommend Marin Hearing Center to anyone needing expert help.

Dr Valla gave us something that money can't buy in today's medical world. Generous time, thoughtful analysis, and most of all empathy for what it means psychologically to experience hearing loss in the aging process. My husband initially resistant like so many people and vaguely suspicious about the cost of hearing aids, Dr. Valla took the time to help him understand how hearing loss taxes the brain and increases aging. We had a wonderful experience in a difficult process and we both recommend him without reservation. Linda Mornell

It was a real pleasure to meet Dr Valla for my audio evaluation for my hearing aids . He was very patient courteous and explained everything in detail to make sure It fit right and that I felt comfortable wearing them. He encouraged me not to hesitate to contact him any time with questions or concerns . I can not recommend him enough.

I went here to get custom ear plugs. The entire experience was rewarding. I scheduled the appointment over the phone. Robin was accommodating, personable and efficient. My appointment was on time and I had my earplugs in less than a week. They are incredibly comfortable. This is the third place I have been for earplugs. It is by far the cleanest, most informed and reasonably priced place. Thank you for the outstanding service.

Andy Valla is the best. He grasped all the advantages I was looking for in hearing aids and my fears. The entire staff is clients first and first class.

I've been totally deaf in my right ear since I was 4 years old. At 49 I finally decided to explore hearing aids. I was disappointed with the options/service at Kaiser. A friend suggested Marin Hearing Center and I was blown away. Andy was great. After a hearing test/consultation I decided to get a hearing aid with a cross. The prices and service are better than Kaiser. The results have been incredible. I'm able to hear much better now and wished I had done this years ago. Well worth the time and money. Marin Hearing Center... Ya hear me? Now I do.

Working with Dr. Valla and Marin Hearing Center for the past two years has been incredible. He brings so much experience and care to every appointment. I can't overstate how pleased I am with how we are working together to address my significant hearing issues thanks to his expertise and care.

Dr. Andrew Valla is an immensely knowledgeable hearing specialist. I went to his office with a tinnitus problem and a significant decline in my hearing, especially in my right ear and in higher frequency sounds. Dr. Valla analyzed the problem with sophisticated computer-backed equipment and fitted me with devices that restored my hearing. It took several steps, however, and I was welcomed back at no additional cost to examine the issues and adjust the device programming until everything was right. My hearing aids are "tuned" for my needs and are completely invisible in my ear canals. Marin Hearing Center has been great for me.

An exceptional place: professional, personable, and patient service that really aims to personally cater to your hearing issues, with care and kindness.

After a difficult few weeks dealing with sudden hearing loss in my left ear, I felt welcomed and secure in their capable hands.
The test was through and the outcome showed further investigation was necessary.
After all other tests are completed I will most definitely return for hearing aid/aids.
I would definitely recommend this practice.

As a life-long patient of compromised hearing, which includes FIVE surgeries at nationally recognized top tier medical facilities, I can enthusiastically vote with 5 stars for Dr. Valla. My only complaint is that 5 isn't nearly enough!
Throughout my adult life (I am now 71 with hearing loss since 22 years of age), I have worked with so many clinicians and surgeons in the field. I feel blessed to have found Dr. Valla. Not only is he brilliant, but he cares!
He is extremely knowledgeable and truly goes the extra mile to provide the very best options possible. I completely trust Dr. Valla and his judgement. I don't know what I would do without him. Honestly!

Superb service and care. I have seen 3 other audiologists and this one is absolutely the best

Robin was great. She fixed the problem with a small replacement on what I thought would be a much bigger job, and was very gracious about it.

DR ANDY VALLA, NEW LOCATION, SAME GREAT CARE
Dr. Andy Valla has moved to Marin Hearing Center and he is giving the same great care with patience, expertise and professionalism. Nothing has changed with Dr. Valla's great care other than he is giving it in his new setting in Corte Madera. I highly recommend Dr. Valla and Marin Hearing Center and their great staff.

If you have hearing loss, run, don't walk, to the Marin Hearing Center! I already had hearing aids prescribed several years ago, but found them not as helpful as they once were. Kim at Marin Hearing Center tested my hearing and recommended a different brand that was more uo to date. I am incredibly happy with them, and even more so with the careful assessment and wonderful attention I got from Kim and her staff. They really know their stuff! The whole experience was so pleasant that I have no hesitation in recommending the Marin Hearing Center, and I will be returning there myself as needed in the future. I actually look forward to it!

Kim does an excellent job of accessing the hearing problem and finding the right solution for her clients. Her experience and education are above and beyond the normal. I strongly recommend her services.

Andy was very kind, a good listener, understanding, thorough, knowledgeable and clear in describing test results/the reason for a referral to an ENT.

This is a great team-Kim, Andrew and Robin are dedicated to giving you the best possible service and fit for your hearing aids. I highly recommend them,they are extremely professional and a pleasure to do business with.Jim
