What We Offer

Comprehensive
hearing care.

The Pinnacle Difference

Why patients
choose us.

Four things that quietly separate us from the rest, and show up in every appointment, every fitting, every follow-up.

01

Personalized Attention

Every appointment is one-on-one with your audiologist, never rushed, always patient-centered. If you've been fit elsewhere and felt the aids weren't working, the difference is usually in the fitting: our four-step process and real-ear verification catch what volume-based practices miss.

02

Advanced Technology

The latest hearing aid technology from Phonak, Signia, Oticon, Widex, ReSound, Unitron, & More, plus precision diagnostic testing and real-ear verification, for lasting, measurable improvement in how you hear.

03

Honest, Ongoing Support

No upsells, no unnecessary appointments, just honest guidance, hearing aid adjustments, and ongoing support from the audiologist who knows your hearing best.

04

Trusted by NYC Patients

5.0 stars across 450+ reviews, consistently rated five stars on Healthgrades, ZocDoc, and WebMD. Trusted throughout New York and New Jersey as one of the top-rated audiology practices in NYC.
