A better home
for your hearing.

People come to us from other providers for all kinds of reasons. Whatever yours is, the transition is simpler than you might expect.

New to NYC

You moved

Relocated to New York and left your audiologist behind? We become your local home for adjustments, repairs, and follow-up.

Provider changes

Your clinic closed

If your audiologist retired or your practice closed, we step in seamlessly so your care never lapses.

Better service

You want more

Looking for more attentive, unhurried care and real-ear verification? We would be glad to raise the bar for you.

Online & OTC

You bought elsewhere

Purchased online or over-the-counter and need professional help dialing them in? We can program and fine-tune many devices.

Repairs & maintenance

Cleanings, wax filter and dome changes, and most in-house repairs to keep your hearing aids performing.

Convenience

Remote adjustments

Once you are set up, many fine-tuning sessions can happen remotely, currently licensed in NY, NJ, and Vermont.

04 No strings attachedHonest, unhurried care

Care without
conditions.

You will never be pressured to buy new devices to receive great care. If yours are working well, we keep them working well. If an upgrade genuinely makes sense someday, we will tell you honestly, and only then.
