“Very very helpful for fixing hearing aid. Also suggested further ideas for resolving other issues. Very kind and listened thoroughly. Highly recommend! Thank you!! ”
“Love the employees and doctor ! Moms 96 and still hearing !!”
“I moved to San Diego recently. I bought my hearing aids from an office in Los Angeles. I have now used two different facilities. Chears is by far the better of the two. My hearing aids have never sounded so good. I would give them a 10 out of ten. If your hearing needs help they are the help you need. ”
“The personnel at ChEARS Hearing Center always greet with a smile, handle emergencies with grace and when we meet with Dr. Kearney she doesn’t rush through the appointment. It’s always a pleasure to go there.”
“Chears is a highly professional organization--courteous, friendly and extremely helpful. They are sensitive, bright and cheery and "get the job done." I am grateful for each and everyone.”
