Just had a situation where I had to get in quick and find a solution to help with my Mom's hearing loss (she was here visiting and literally couldn't have conversations with my kids anymore). Kim got me in really quickly and we had a solution within 48 hours. Kim was kind and dealt really well with my stubborn mom 😉 Her and her whole staff are wonderful. Kim went above and beyond for us in many ways to help us out. Kim actually answered the phone and emails directly - amazing. She is knowledgable and professional and tries to find the right solution for the situation. Couldn't be happier - highly recommend.

I knew my hearing was going south, just not how much. I was pleased to find out that it was better than I thought. This gives me peace of mind. I was also able to discuss my tinnitus.

Marin Hearing Center has a pleasant office and a wonderful staff. Kim, the business owner and audiologist was very professional and easy to talk to. I recommend Marin Hearing Center to anyone with hearing problems.

Very friendly and warm scene, and perhaps the only doctor's office in the world with coffee and chocolate truffles in the waiting room. Kim knows her stuff, and sympathizes with old musicians and their audio ghosts. A great combination of professionalism, compassion and just general niceness!

Andy is excellent, attentive, understanding and knows his stuff

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!

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

Highly recommend this company. Kim and Robin are both consummate professionals--thorough, kind, and caring. This is my first experience with hearing aids (I'm losing the high end which affects my listening in group settings), and though I paid a little more than I might have online, the time and attention to getting the right device for me, and getting it fitted properly was well worth it. Kim let try out a demo set of Widex aids for about 6 weeks, long enough to get comfortable with the fit and the changes in sound. She was easy to negotiate with around price....I'm a happy customer. Thanks, Kim & Robin

SUCH great things to say! I was so impressed. I never write reviews but I genuinely had an amazing experience here and had to write one. The doctor was genuinely interested and talked with me about everything, explained what all the graphs meant, and was overall so nice. Can't recommend more! Also I didn't feel rushed through at all like at many other dr appts, it was so great he really took his time and did a thorough job. It was great.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Valle and Marin Hearing Center. Dr. Valle was extraordinarily patient and thorough in answering my endless questions and explaining every little detail. The office staff was also great and professional and made financing a simple, stress-free process. Appointments were always on time or at most 5 minutes late. I HIGHLY recommend Marin Hearing Center!

Over the past decade I have worked with four different audiologists in four different cities. All were dedicated and knowledgeable professionals, but Dr. Andrew Valla at Marin Hearing Center outclasses them all! He is up to speed on all the latest tech and truly wants his patients to get the best help possible. I will never go anywhere else.

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.

I would give 6 stars if I could. The nicest people and Andy, my audiologist hung in through 3 pairs of hearing aids until we found what worked best for me. He could not have been kinder or more patient until I found aids that worked.
Outstanding service and responsiveness.
Highest recommendation

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.

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.

My husband is Dr. Valla's patient, and has this to say, "Dr. Valla listened carefully to my concerns and resolved my needs clearly and concisely in language I could understand. I highly value seeing Dr. Valla, and I would heartily recommend him to anyone needed hearing assistance."

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'm absolutely delighted that I chose Marin Hearing Center. Andy Valla's professionalism, expertise, & and patience through the entire process were extraordinary. The results I have already experienced with my devices far exceeded my expectations. I have already recommended Andy to several of my friends & will happily continue to do so.

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.

I found Marin Hearing Center to be a great place for my hearing needs. Dr. Valla is a great resource, and a caring and compassionate care giver. I recommend him and the rest of the folks there highly.

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.
