"Before I got my new hearing aids, I was missing out on so much. Teresa and her staff helped me get a big part of my life back. Thank you, Coastal Hearing Solutions!" John Singletary  |
Meet the Coastal Hearing Solutions Family
Coastal Hearing Solutions has quite the pedigree when it comes to hearing aid assistance. We branched from the family tree started by Addie Peterson in 1983 as New Sound Hearing Aid Service. Addie’s daughter, Teresa, had found herself spending more and more time helping her mom with both the Wilmington and Jacksonville offices. Over the next 15 years, her responsibilities continued to grow, and Teresa responded to demands beautifully, becoming a fully certified hearing aid specialist and receiving her North Carolina licensure in 2006.
Today, Teresa is the primary hearing aid specialist, with her mother Addie now in semi-retirement. But the family business continues to expand - Coastal Hearing Solutions opened an office in Southport, NC in 2008, and Teresa’s niece Crystal has followed in her aunt’s footsteps by obtaining her own full NC licensure!

A lifelong resident of Wilmington, Teresa’s passion is helping people hear better. She has been involved with the family business since 1993 when she began working with her mother at New Sound Hearing Aid Service serving in various capacities. She received her North Carolina Hearing Instrument Specialist license in May of 2006. When her mother retired in September of 2007, Teresa and her husband Steve bought the business and renamed the company Coastal Hearing Solutions. The new name better reflects the mindset that Teresa has for the business — providing a total solution to improved hearing by serving patients with cutting-edge technology at a fair price.
Teresa has also served mission work through the Hearing Foundation in Cali, Columbia where she provided hearing aids to children needing hearing assistance. A mother of 4, and a stepmother to 3 more, she is a proud supporter of our armed forces. Two of her sons are now serving in the military, one in the Air Force and one in the Marine Corps. Teresa is also a Deaconess in her church, Living Water Ministries.
Originally from Wilmington, Crystal is the niece of Teresa and Steve, and she is continuing the family tradition of helping others hear better. A graduate of Pender Senior High School, Crystal started with Coastal Hearing Solutions in September 2007. She is currently a licensed Apprentice with the North Carolina Hearing Aid Dealer and Fitters Board. She also has a personal interest in supporting our military, as her brother currently serves in the Air Force.
