What is an Audiologist?
An Audiologist is a licensed professional uniquely qualified to assess the function of the hearing and balance mechanism, and to provide rehabilitative services when medical intervention is not indicated. Audiologists work collaboratively with otolaryngologists, pediatricians, primary care physicians, and other medical professionals to provide comprehensive hearing and balance health care services. Audiologists perform a battery of tests designed to determine the level of hearing and the site along the hearing mechanism that has been affected by disease, disorder, trauma, or aging. Approximately 90% of hearing disorders in adults are not medically treatable, and almost all can be managed effectively with hearing aids.

We serve patients of all ages and with varying needs. Our staff speaks and understands English, Russian, Polish, Hebrew, and Yiddish.
