We love you but once our Lady in charge went on sick leave, my husband Jesus Ayala went in for 2nd time ear wax removal. Whatever Chris Summers does, BOTH times he went to our GP for drops to manage the residual pain and prevent infection.

This is one of the hardest working, most customer oriented businesses I have had the pleasure of being a customer of. Chris, Katie, the front office staff are knowledgeable, patient, and very client focused. Getting hearing aids can be an emotional, difficult process but they make it as painless as possible. I tried hearing aides about 4 years ago somewhere else and they were awful. The ones Chris has me using are a HUGE improvement. Not an easy transition but if you need and want to hear better you cant do better than working with Chris. He carries many makers so will sell you the best for your needs. Also I did some price comparison and he was the lowest price.

I recently went to Coastal Hearing Aid Center and besides echoing the praises of preceding reviews, Id like to add another perspective. I went there for a promotional hearing test offer in hopes of getting a baseline exam (cant even remember when the last one was) and understanding if I had hearing damage from the years of listening to live music. I was a bit afraid of a fear-based hard sell after reading the literature.Katie did a very thorough hearing screening, then Dr Chris told me that although I had some damage, there was virtually no hearing loss, so something to keep an eye on but no action needed. I appreciated his honesty and relieving my fears, as well as the friendliness & efficiency of the office staff. Thank you!!

Sometimes, unusual things happen when you are in your 70s. Today, when I took my hearing aids out, one of the domes detached from the aid and became lodged deep in my ear canal. I went to Coastal Hearing Aid Center, as a walk-in, where I was immediately greeted by their positive and upbeat receptionist. She contacted Chris and, within minutes, he had the dome dislodged from my ear. He immediately checked my eardrum for damage. He was very upbeat, professional, empathetic and positive, as was everyone in the office. If you ever need anything related to your hearing, I completely recommend Chris Sumer and his staff at the Coastal Hearing Aid Center in Encinitas.

I was impressed with Chriss knowledge, professionalism and care. I have an unique situation with my ears and had been told years ago my hearing loss would not be helped with hearing aides. I appreciated he didnt want to waste my time if that was still the case. He took the time to review my records. Fortunately, thats not the case anymore. Thank you.

I don’t know where to begin. This place is so special. The staff is friendly and welcoming and so eager to help. Dr. Chris is not only knowledgeable and understanding, but has a great sense of humor. I can’t recommend this place more highly. If you’re having trouble with your hearing, this is definitely the place you want to go to.-Cory Walkey

I have nothing but the highest praise and accolades for Chris and his amazing staff!!! I dont think Ive EVER experienced the level of TLC, PATIENCE, professionalism, knowledge, expertise, warmth, authenticity, humor, and empathy as I did yesterday when my husband and I walked in for my appointment with Chris!!!!! My grandmother would have said that he is an ABSOLUTE DOLL, which is exactly what I told him myself! I truly feel so comfortable and at ease knowing that my hearing needs will be in such capable hands.The hearing aids Chris fitted me with have such a natural sound quality that it took me practically no time to get used to them. It hasnt even been a whole day yet! After experiencing such a high level of care, I think it would be nearly impossible to find another Hearing Specialist of Chriss caliber.

Came into this business for custom ear plugs for ocean swimming. Office was cheery and bright. Was impressed with the cutting edge digital equipment without the price gouging .

My left hearing aid stopped working on a Friday just as as I was ready to leave for a trip. I went to Coastal Hearing Aid Center and Chris came to my rescue.

If there was a seven star rating I would definitely give it! The place that I purchased my Oticon hearing aids was quite happy to take my money when I bought them, but after sales service was almost nonexistent. When someone such as myself has a problem with their aids it’s a disaster. The company I purchased from tried to put me off two weeks. I can’t be without hearing aids for two days let alone two weeks.When I called Coastal Hearing Aid Center they got me in the SAME DAY and fixed my hearing aids. I really and truly can’t say enough wonderful things about them! I have to drive quite a distance to their office, but I would walk the distance to get to them!Once again, Thank you for the wonderful service Chris!Clyde Longson

Coastal Hearing Aid Center in Encinitas, is hands down, the best place to purchase and be fitted for Hearing aids! I should know as It took me a while for me to be referred to them. I wish I found them three pairs before!!! Chris Sumer, is a true expert and is an credited NBC-HIS audiologist. He is so knowledgeable and up to date on what is current, that he will steer you away from the sales talk, spend as much time with you, as you need, and fit you to the pair that works for youI Yes, he makes them work specifically for you with the assistance of the latest technology and equipment. My experience with Coastal Hearing and Chris, was like a difference from black to white, I am hearing better and could not be happier!

Well, my first experience was to call in and ask a simple question. Could they reprogram my 6 year old starky hearing aids. Their reply was sure for $1500.00 dollars. Their obviously a ripoff. I paid 1500 dollars for the hearing aids.Shop around.

I cannot say enough about this wonderful team of caring people, Chris, McKallah, Jenica, Erica, etc. Ive been taking my Mom & Dad here for years now, and without exception they always provide their best. In fact they treat us like were their own family, always polite, caring and helpful. Its very apparent they truly value senior citizens and have their best interests at heart.My mom had some falls and we figured out it was due to ear wax buildup which caused vertigo and impaired her situational awareness. Interesting how wax can accumulate inside the ear canal especially with hearing aid molds in-place, and that affects ability to hear, as well as gunks up inside the hearing aids preventing them from working. The staff are really great at cleaning out the wax & tuning up the hearing aids with their great tools & equipment in their lab area. They also have sophisticated equipment for updating the programming on the hearing aids to adjust as peoples hearing changes over time.Chris is very personable and humble, and sympathizes with the struggles of the hearing-impaired. He keeps himself updated & knowledgeable with the latest state-of-the-art technologies and is now published with a great book of insights on hearing.They have a nice modern lobby seating area offering us bottled water, coffee, etc., extremely welcoming. As soon as you enter, its always a nice greeting then warm welcome and helpfulness from their staff. It is very refreshing to see such a well-run operation from entry to exit taking care of such a vital and critical requirement for people, positively improving their lives. Wonderful gems these folks are and a delight to come in there each time.

Yes, it’s worth driving more than a 100 miles if given the opportunity to be serviced by Coastal Hearing! Chris Sumer and his staff are simply amazing: welcoming, passionate, professional, competent. All have excellent interpersonal skills, exhibiting an easy and enviable rapport with people from all generations and backgrounds because they have a natural respect for them. A first time hearing aid user, I appreciate Coastal Hearing’s individualized approach and being informed throughout my treatment program. I am also grateful that my questions can be thoroughly answered and my hearing aides adjusted from the office given I live quite a distance. It is with pleasure that I enthusiastically recommend Coastal Hearing.Nancy Patterson

The staff are literally the kindest, most friendly and efficient people I’ve ever encountered in a medical office. It was such a wonderful experience. Unfortunately most medical practices have really let the quality of their customer service plummet. It’s become regular practice for one to wait twenty minutes plus to be taken to an exam room just to wait another twenty minutes for the doctor. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover the efficiency of the Coastal Hearing Aid Center. I was checked in,had my paperwork filled out and was in the exam room in less that five minutes! Truly,five stars aren’t enough!

Like a lot of older vets I have hearing loss from years in the service and the hearing aids make a huge difference. Things occasionally go wrong with them and when they do Coastal fixes them quickly, thoroughly, at very reasonable cost. Even though VA would repair for no cost, Coastal is a better deal than to go without for the weeks it takes to get into VA Audiology Clinic. Go to Coastal.

I have been using Coastal Hearing Aid Center since I moved to Carlsbad six years ago with excellent results. They have modern and very thorough testing facilities with the expertise to solve the most difficult hearing problems. But it doesnt stop there.

Review №38

I only wish I could give 10 stars for how professional and exceptional the staff was, especially McKallah!!!I work in healthcare on the administrative side overseeing a network of thousands of healthcare providers, while trying to instill and drive the paramount importance of value-based care and the patient experience, which goes hand in hand when measuring successful care outcomes.I wish I could clone Coastal’s uber efficient operational set-up and commitment to the patient experience, delivered by staff who clearly embodies the servant heart.I got my hearing aids four years ago from Scripps. But the service difference was night and day when one of my hearing aids would no longer function. I spent over three months with Scripps only to ultimately being turned away to seek my own solution. Thank you Yelp!Last, I can honestly say that I rarely post reviews, and that’s mostly when encountering a terrible service experience. But my service experience and the staff was so amazing/exceptional, I felt it my duty to declare and promote to all that may come across this review to please look no further for your hearing care needs!I know I will be a lifetime customer, especially for my next set of hearing aids!Thank you Coastal Hearing Aid family - you’re sincerely the best! Insert my virtual hugs and high-fives here!

Coastal Hearing is clearly ‘the’ place to go for anyone who is the least bit concerned about hearing better or even concerned they might need assistance to hear better. I have been a client at Coastal for years (since they opened, in fact) and find the entire team friendly, extremely caring, and most importantly very informed and professional. You simply cannot go wrong. It will likely be one of the most relaxing and pleasant office visits you’ll ever have and could prove to be one of the more important, as well.

Chris is very professional and he takes his time to make sure that my hearing aids and accessories are working well together. I have significant hearing loss but thanks to the patience of Chris and his staff I live an active life. My hearing aids connect to my phone and television so I can hear clearly. With the Hear4Life program I pay a minimal monthly fee that covers all my expenses and upgrades. After 5 years, they are donated to someone who cant afford them and I get new one. Its a wonderful program created by a talented and compassionate staff.

Review №85

My husband and I have seen various audiologists over the past 15 years, and Chris Sumer is by far the best we have consulted. His staff is outstanding in that they are friendly, well-trained, and very eager to help. Chris is superb and also very eager to help. Its very easy to get appointments and they always try to accommodate us.Before seeing Chris, my hearing was so bad that I was experiencing poor balance and tinnitus caused by excessive earwax buildup. His facility has all the latest tools and technologies to deal with a challenging situation like mine. After a comprehensive hearing test and the wax removal, proper hearing aids programmed and installed, my situation has turned around 100+%. I like the fact that educating patients is a mainstay of this center - they have available informational pamphlets with great insights showing they are on the cutting edge of audiology. Without any hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Chris and his staff.

Review №86

I’d lost my hearing in my twenties but was really hesitant to get hearing aids until my fifties...too expensive, too unsightly, not even sure they could significantly improve my hearing! I went to see Chris at Coastal Hearing, and my very first visit, he tested my hearing, gently sharing with me how much of my ability to hear was missing. He fitted me with just the right hearing aids, and I was shocked...it felt to me like someone had removed earplugs from both my ears! He went around the corner and quietly said a few words, then asked if i’d heard what he’d said. “I can HEAR now “ was what I heard! I had tears in my eyes when I realized how amazing it was to hear clearly again!!!I would absolutely recommend Chris & his incredibly supportive staff....they let me try out my new aids for 45 days, no payment unless I was completely satisfied, as well as a no interest payment plan! They are honest, caring, & extremely good at what they do, with excellent follow up care. I usually never write recommendations, but I just cannot say enough good things about the personalized care I’ve received at Coastal Hearing! They’re the best, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my newfound ability to hear clearly!

Theres lots of places you can go for advice and procedures to test your hearing, but, based on my past experience, Coastal Hearing is the best -- the most professional, the friendliest, and the most understanding. I recommend them unqualifingly.

Chris and his staff have done wonders in treating my hearing loss. The hearing evaluations are the latest state of the art and superior to any testing I have had over 30 years of hearing loss.I never feel rushed in any of our of our sessions and I have a better understanding of how to live and cope with my hearing loss.Try them, you will like them!

I was told I would never hear from my left ear due to nerve damage. After visiting Chris and his wonderful staff, I am hearing from my left ear for the first time in over 30 years. His techniques and devices are a miracle and I would recommend Coastal Hearing to anyone.
