“I was visiting the Monterey area when my hearing aids stopped working. A quick visit and the person in charge found the reason why and fixed it. She was so caring and helpful. I very much appreciate the service I received. ”

“My first ever Hearing aid and I have zero regrets. I love what this has done to improve my life, these little devices are wonderful. They’re almost invisible, I can control them with my iPad or my phone, I forget when I’m wearing them-they’re so comfortable, and they recharge every night.....no batteries! As much as as I love the hearing aids I feel the same way about the people at Valley Hearing. This has been a 100% positive experience for me.”

“My mother has been a patient at this office for many years. They have always been extremely professional, and have fitted her with hearing aids that meet her needs. Now that she is quite elderly, I take her to her maintenance appointments, and I have been able to see for myself how supportive the staff members are. If/when I reach the point when I need hearing aids myself, I will definitely go to Valley Hearing Center.”

“Mr. Robert Feltoven welcomed me pleasantly on behalf of the Valley Hearing Center. He later gave me a typical hearing exam. Robert tailored temporal aids for day to day use and return next week for follow-up. He is very knowledgeable and dedicated. I'll be back. ”

“I was so scared to deal with the reality of a hearing loss. But a friend nudged me to Valley Hearing Center and it is the best decision I ever made. From the moment I walked in they were kind and supportive. After my hearing loss was confirmed they fitted me with two state of the art hearing devices. Today I hardly know they're there and yet they have changed my life for the better. Thank you Valley Hearing Center for making this such a smooth transition!”

“I have been a very happy client of Valley Hearing Center for several years. prior to that to that I had a bad experience and was not listened to. this all changed when I met Katrina at Valley Hearing Center. Katrina listened to me and fitted me uperfectly.
