West Coast Audiology

Alec is very thorough and patient in explaining how to wear and clean hearing aid. Have been bringing my elderly father to him for several years. His prices are great, too. He seems to genuinely care about his clients/​patients.

West Coast Audiology is simply outstanding. Mr. Alec Graham is owner/​Audiologist. His prices are very competitive; service is prompt and friendly. I recommend him very highly.

Perhaps like many people it took awhile for me to finally decide that I needed to get hearing aids! After struggling to hear some of my students (I’m a teacher), I remembered my friend’s recommendation of Alec Graham at West Coast Audiology in La Mesa.
I value good customer service and I’ve never met anyone more competent, caring, and professional than Alec. He provided a very thorough initial examination and answered all my questions, which enabled me to select the best hearing aids for my needs.
When they arrived I returned to his office for my «fitting» and Alec spent considerable time making sure they were adjusted properly. He then scheduled a follow-​up meeting a few weeks later to make sure I was satisfied with them and answer any questions I might have. Alec changed my life for the better and I told him I can hear the birds singing again!
I have recommended Alec to my friends and highly recommend him to anyone who is exploring the possibility of wearing hearing aids!
I should add that. most people don’t even realize I am wearing them, as they fit inside my ear. And the cost of his service and the hearing aids is far less than any other place I have researched.

I have had Hearing Aids for 15 years. Over the years, I was fitted for two at one office, and another one at a different Audiologist. Just got a new set from Alec. Hands down the best in San Diego. He spent one and a half hours prior to my ordering the new devices, listening to me, and explaining my different options. He did not care what brand I ordered, or what model. I truly believe he wanted what was best for me and my hearing loss. I was sold on his service, and the prices just floored me. I have, until this time, just had a device on my worst ear. was open to getting one on my failing other ear, but Aids are expensive. After talking to Alec and getting the estimate, I opted to get two devices. It was almost two for one. I got a high quality device for half of what I was offered elsewhere, even with my Kaiser Insurance discount!
When my hearing Aids arrived Alec spent over two hours fine tuning the devices to my ears. I do not recall ever receiving this much service ever before.
Hands down Alec and West Coast Audiology is the BEST!

I had been a client for about five years of another hearing aid place in El Cajon.
Lately, I was having a problem with my hearing aids and this place told me both receivers needed to be replaced at a cost of $ 300.
In the past, I had shelled out $ 150 two times to replace receivers, so at this point I was becoming suspicious. I followed my instinct, which was to get a second opinion and drove to West Coast Audiology where I met Alec Graham. He examined and tested my hearing aids and got both of them working again by simply replacing the little white wax traps. Alec charged me $ 25, but saved me $ 300! I was shocked the other place tried to scam me, but apparently this kind of thing goes on all the time, including even at Costco!
My advice is to always get more than one opinion if something doesn’t sound quite right/​kosher about a part, etc., especially when it comes to replacing a receiver.
West Coast Audiology is a little tricky to locate, as the building and entrance is not directly on Alvarado Road. The parking lot entrance actually is off Saranac Place. Before driving there, I suggest looking at a map, such as Google Maps, to get an idea where this place is located.
Also, if you call Alec and get voicemail, leave a message. The quickest way to reach him, though, is to send an e-​mail message to:

Alec is amazing! He is a kind human being who really cares about a person’s ability to hear well. He has gone out of his way to repair my aids and give me an appt at last minute notice. Best of it all the prices are the best in San Diego. Go see Alec, you will never regret it and your pocketbook will thank you!!!

AWESOME is the best way to describe West Coast Audiology!
Alec at West Coast Audiology helped me get the perfect hearing aids for me.
He was patient, honest & caring with me. Allowing me to try different styles and brands, until I found the perfect ones for my hearing loss and lifestyle needs.
He answered any and all questions I had and never got frustrated with me. He continues to provide excellent service for repairs and tune ups on my hearing aids.
I found Alec when I was searching for a particular kind of hearing aid on the internet. West Coast Audiology just happened to be the cheapest place for the particular hearing aid I was looking for at the time. He was located in La Mesa which was even better for me. His prices are not to be beat anywhere!
Alec gave me the gift of hearing & I will always be grateful to him for that!

I have recommended Alec to all my friends and that should say it all. Honest prices Honest service and treats you the way that you treat others. My dog has buried my hearing aid twice and ate it 3 times. Alec goes the extra mile to fix broken parts without having to purchase new. And when he recommends something trust him he is correct.

I went to Alec having worked with other audiologists who were selling a product rather than helping me. I actively push all my hearing impaired friends to Alec simply because he is so very competent, has all the most modern equipment, and truly cares about helping get me the equipment that helps me the most. He is not selling anything to me, just showing me what the market has to meet my needs and then he fits them and orders them and happily takes them back so I can try a different brand. I must be his most difficult patient yet he is spectacularly patient and cheerful as I break things and forget his patient explanations on connecting remote devices! Even more remarkable, his prices are at least 15% cheaper than other places were friends have bought the same hearing aids. If you have problems hearing and understanding people, I urge you to go to Alec, he is the cheapest and most professional in the business — and I have had some experience to allow me to make this claim.

The best audiologist on the West Coast. Provides excellent service while providing the lowest prices possible for hearing aids. Alec is extremely percise, professional, honest, and trustworthy. He is also one of the most accurate because he has all of the up-​to-​date equipment.
I went to an audiologist in San Francisco and while I was there, I was asked for an extremely large some of money for a particular brand of hearing aids. When my father had contacted Alec, he was realistic and truthful. He told my father that the San Francisco audiologist had offered a hearing aid that I really didn’t need for the price. Alec told him that there is another brand of hearing aids that would suit myself better, and at half the price. Alec had also found an error that the other audiologist in San Francisco had made when she did my hearing test on me!
I recommend Alec to anyone with hearing needs.

SIMPLY THE BEST! Alec is the best audiologist in SD. He provides the best costumer service, he calls to make sure everything is ok with his patient afterwards. I brought my Dad to him after I found him online because he is located closed by my house. I am so glad I found him. I compared his prices to Costco, and other places but he had the BEST prices and the Best costumer service. My dad doenst speak English, and he was extremely patient with that translation situation. My dad wanted to know everything, and our appointment took forever, and he was sooo nice and patient.
My Dad is know back in Brazil and he is super happy with his hearing aid by Phonak! Thanks to Alec Graham. It has completely changed my family’s life! My dad can hear now :)

Great prices great, patient service.
