The only private audiology practice in NYC offering Earlens®
We are proud to be a provider of Earlens, the world’s first and only hearing solution to directly vibrate the eardrum. Earlens delivers more complete sound than any acoustic hearing aid and a bandwidth that is associated with more natural sound quality and better hearing in noise.

Premium Care
Earlens is the only non-surgical solution that combines the care of a Doctor of Audiology and an ENT physician. With Earlens, you will receive the highest level of hearing healthcare.
