“We had a wonderful experience at ChEARS Hearing Center. Dr. Karen Faillace was absolutely amazing, she took her time to carefully explain all the options available for our specific type of hearing loss. She was incredibly kind, positive, attentive, and patient, and she has a truly caring approach that made us feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. She’s also fantastic with kids, which made a big difference for our family. The office itself is very nice, in a great location with plenty of parking, and scheduling appointments was also easy. We highly recommend ChEARS Hearing Center and Dr. Karen Faillace to anyone in need of hearing aids.”

“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. ”
