Le'Anne McEachern, Au.D. - Le'Anne McEachern was born and raised in Canby, Oregon. After graduating from Canby High School, Le'Anne went on to earn her Bachelor's degree at Lewis and Clark University in Portland, Oregon. Her next stop was the University of Washington in Seattle. Le'Anne graduated in 1975 with a Master's degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology (M.S.P.A.) and academic honors.
From 1975 to 1982, Le'Anne worked in Clinical Medical Audiology with various doctors. She started out working with Dr. John Lynch in Everett, WA in 1975 and then moved on to work with Dr. Richard Vorhees in Seattle, WA. Finally, Le'Anne worked with Dr. John Epley in Portland, OR until 1982. In 1982, Le'Anne moved to Newport and purchased the audiology practice that was to become Coast Hearing Services. After being located in two different office buildings, Coast Hearing settled into its current location at 1217 N. Coast Hwy. Suite D in Newport.
Le'Anne continues to further her education at every opportunity and is fully versed in the latest treatment methods. She is also proficient with Coast Hearing's array of cutting-edge technological tools. These tools perform such various tasks as hearing deficiency assessment, hearing aid calibration, and hearing aid repair.
In March, 2007, LeAnne received an advanced degree in the field of Audiology and is now a fully licensed Au.D., Lincoln Countys only Doctor of Audiology.
Jeffery Gardner, Master Technician, H.A.S., Hearing Aid Specialist/ Owner - Jeffery has over 23 years helping the hard of hearing in Oregon. He started working as a repair technician for Miracle Ear in 1985 in Portland, Oregon. He moved to Eugene and started working for a major hearing aid provider where he obtained his hearing aid dealer license. He eventually moved to Newport, Oregon in 1994 and began working at Coast Hearing Services under LeAnne as a manufacturer of most of the hearing aids that were fit over the next 10 years. Now Jeff is the owner of Coast Hearing Services retaining LeAnne as the Doctor of Audiology.
Kerri Gardner, Co-Owner/ Office Manager/ Insurance Billings- Kerri began working at Coast Hearing Services shortly before she and Jeff purchased the company from LeAnne. She enjoys the privilege of working with clients and being a part of a team that has a passion for helping families communicate.
Nancy, Assisting Office Manager - Nancy came to CHS in 2005 and has become a valued member of the Coast Hearing team because of her strong skills in client relations and hard-working spirit. Shortly after obtaining her position, it was realized that she has a hearing loss that benefits from hearing aid amplification. Jeff fit her with a pair of hearing aids and has been wearing them ever since.
Keith Marquand, H.A.S., Hearing Aid Specialist - After finding out that he had a high frequency loss, he was fit with hearing aids with Jeff. Jeff was looking for help with his growing business and approached Keith with a job in the hearing field and he accepted the chance to help people hear better. Jeff found that having hearing aid wearers on staff people could relate to hearing aids better. Later, he went to school to obtain an Oregon dealers license and now can test and fit instruments. He works in Newport office Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and in Lincoln City he works Wednesday, and Thursday.
Holly Gardner, Hearing Aid Specialist in Training - Holly recently graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders and Sciences.
