Dr Andrew Valla and Marin Hearing Center are extraordinary professionals who have provided me as their client exceptional hearing aid services. I am a retired otolaryngologist with many years experience and have the highest regard for this Dr of Audiology and his 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!

Marin Hearing Center and Dr. Valla have been incredibly helpful, effective and generous. I have nothing but praise for their services. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have received Dr. Valla's first-rate care. Highest recommendations!

After going to another audiologist and having an unsatisfactory experience, husband went to see Dr. Valla. Dr. Valla was so thorough and completely committed to helping my husband. After testing, Dr. Valla ordered a hearing aid and microphone for my husband. My husband has nearly no hearing in one ear. These aids have made it possible for him to have strong hearing; they have greatly enhanced my husband's life.
Dr Valla's receptionist Robin goes out of her way to be helpful.
The entire office experience with Dr. Valla has been excellent.

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

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

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.

I found Marin Hearing Center via an online search and based on all the positive reviews decided to have my first hearing test in MANY years there. I'm super impressed and would recommend this place to anyone -- in addition to testing my hearing, discussing most likely recent episodes of vertigo and onset of tinnitus, I got some great overall fitness tips from the doc who is also a triathlete! Very glad to have found Marin Hearing Center.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

Can't say enough positive things about the Marin Hearing Center. The Front Office staff is always cheerful , helpful and efficient. Dr. Valla is very skilled, up on the latest information and developments in the field, thorough and goes above and beyond in all ways. Plus he is a very caring individual. So glad to have been referred there.

I am very happy with the treatment received and the hearing aid I purchased. It wasn't cheap... but really changed my life. If I knew before, I would have bought it a long time ago...
I visited four different Hearing Centers, and I am very happy to have chosen Marin Hearing Center. The best.

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!

My doctor is so knowledgeable that he was able to see me through some serious learning curves. I highly recommend the Marin Hearing center, they not only know how to help you but they also take the time to make sure you know also. I walk out of their office feeling upbeat everytime knowing I got the best from them.

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.
