Care for those
who cared for us.
Hearing loss in an older loved one touches the whole family. Helping them hear again protects far more than conversation: it safeguards their safety, their independence, their relationships, and their mind. We make that care gentle, patient, and unhurried, in our office or at home.
Hearing keeps them connected.
Untreated hearing loss in older adults is linked to isolation, falls, and faster cognitive decline. Addressing it is one of the most protective steps a family can take, and one of the most rewarding.
When hearing fades, the world quietly gets smaller. The dinner table, the phone call with grandchildren, the doctor's instructions: each becomes a little harder, until a parent starts to withdraw from the things that kept them themselves. Helping them hear again is rarely about a single device. It is about bringing them back into the room. We treat the person and the family, not just the audiogram.
What treating hearing loss protects.
For an older adult, better hearing reaches into nearly every part of daily life.
Staying in the conversation
When hearing fades, loved ones drift from the dinner table and the phone. Treating it brings them back into family life and the moments that matter.
Protecting the mind
Research links untreated hearing loss to a higher risk of cognitive decline. Hearing care is one of the few modifiable ways a family can help protect it.
Awareness & falls
Hearing alarms, doorbells, and warnings matters. Better hearing supports balance and awareness, helping reduce the risk of falls at home.
Confidence & independence
Hearing well lets older adults stay independent and self-assured: at appointments, on the phone, and out in the world on their own terms.
Gentle care, every step.
Older patients deserve extra time and patience. We slow down, explain clearly, and welcome family into the process.
Unhurried evaluation
A calm, thorough hearing evaluation with no rush, and clear explanations the whole family can follow.
Easy-to-use devices
We match hearing aids to comfort and dexterity, with simple controls and rechargeable options, then teach handling at a comfortable pace.
Ongoing support
Cleanings, adjustments, and check-ins, in office or at home, so the devices keep working and stay worn.
Family included
We bring spouses, adult children, and caregivers into the conversation so everyone understands the plan and how to help.
Care for the whole family.
Hearing loss is rarely something an older adult faces alone. It is the spouse repeating themselves, the daughter on speakerphone, the son who notices the television creeping louder. We treat the family as part of the care: we welcome you into the appointment, explain what we find in plain language, and show you how to support daily hearing aid use at home. When a parent resists, we have the patience and experience to meet them where they are, without pressure. The goal is simple: bring your loved one back into the conversations that make life feel full.
Geriatricians, internists, ENTs, therapists, psychiatrists, senior-care and assisted-living teams, and other allied health professionals can use our professional referral pathway to coordinate appropriate hearing care.
Care that travels to your loved one.
See us in a calm, welcoming office, or let us bring the full appointment home. Whatever is easiest for them.
In our office
Our Midtown Manhattan and Garden City offices are calm, unhurried, and easy to reach, with time built in so no one feels rushed.

Medicare and insurance for older adults.
Coverage for seniors varies by plan, and we make it clear before you commit.
Original Medicare covers diagnostic hearing testing when it is ordered, and many Medicare Advantage and private plans now include a hearing aid benefit. Because the details vary, we review your benefits with you before the appointment so the costs are clear and there are no surprises. You can see how we handle coverage on our insurance page, or simply ask when you book and we will walk you and your family through the options.
What to expect, start to finish.
Before
We listen to your concerns, answer questions on the phone, and let you know what to bring. Family members are always welcome to join.
During
An unhurried evaluation and, if helpful, a device demonstration, with clear explanations the whole family can follow at a comfortable pace.
After
A clear plan and gentle follow-up: cleanings, adjustments, and check-ins, in office or at home, so progress sticks.
Senior hearing care, answered.
Untreated hearing loss in older adults is linked to social isolation, a higher risk of falls, and faster cognitive decline. Addressing it helps protect safety, independence, relationships, and mental sharpness, which is why it is one of the most valuable steps a family can take.
Lead with connection rather than criticism, and frame it around staying part of family conversations. We welcome family into the appointment, move at an unhurried pace, and explain everything clearly, which makes the first visit far less daunting for an older adult.
Yes. We match hearing aids to comfort and dexterity, with simple controls, rechargeable batteries so there are no tiny cells to change, and automatic settings that adjust on their own. We also teach insertion, cleaning, and daily handling at a comfortable pace.
Coverage varies by plan. Original Medicare covers diagnostic testing when ordered, and many Medicare Advantage and private plans include hearing aid benefits. We review your benefits before the appointment so the costs are clear up front.
Research has identified untreated hearing loss as one of the largest modifiable risk factors for dementia in later life. Treating hearing loss is not a cure, but it is one of the few practical, evidence-supported ways a family can help protect cognitive health.
