I see Dr. Gena Marino, and she listens to my concerns with patience and support. She is always punctual when seeing patients. I highly recommend her. I am very satisfied with the service and her technical knowledge on ear aid, and most importantly, the administration has improved. The front office service is now much better than it was before.

The Center for Hearing and Communication, 50 Broadway, NYC0
The Center for Hearing and Communication is an excellent clinic. Both my husband and I have gotten our hearing aids there. They testing was thorough and their recommendations excellent. For my husband they needed to make special molds to fit his ears. I suddenly lost hearing in one ear, and they were very helpful in addressing my problem. They also offerred us as many appointments as we needed after we got our new hearing aids and taught us how to use them maximally.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Caring
I have been with Dr Carla Smiley for two years. She is Professional, Knowledgeable, and Caring. My first visit as a new patient, she did an initial assessment of my ears and explained the process of the hearing test and how to respond during the test. The hearing test confirmed I had some hearing loss in both ears. The right ear was the worst. A couple weeks later, after ordering my hearing aids, Dr Smiley came to my home (I am visually impaired and do not drive) to orient me and to activate my new hearing aids. Also, she explained and showed me how to use the app on my phone which allowed me to adjust the volume of my hearing aids. Dr Smiley took her time and made sure that I understood what to do.
Two years later, December 18, 2024 I requested an appointment with Dr Smiley due to my concern with additional hearing loss in my right ear.. Again, her on point assessment and hearing test confirmed I had some additional hearing loss in my right ear. The volume for my hearing aids were increased through the app on my phone. Dr Smiley also advised that I make an appt to see an ENT Doctor. She will continue to follow up with me as well as be in touch with my ENT Doctor.
Thank you Dr Carla Smiley for being a Caring Professional

This is a site owned by a manufacturer called oticon. If you do not buy hearing aids through oticon you do not get put on their website. Check for locations nearest your home as follow-up visits are very important.

Dear Mr. Lawrence, We appreciate you taking the time to offer advice to people seeking hearing help. You are both correct and incorrect about Healthy Hearing. For over 22 years, Healthy Hearing has been a consumer-facing website that provides accurate professionally-written information about hearing loss and hearing aids, and a directory of hearing clinics around the country. We are proud to be part of the Demant family of companies, which includes hearing aid manufacturer Oticon. As it says on every page of our website, we partner with Oticon. We also partner with other companies in the Demant family. Our directory of over 5000 hearing clinics nationwide lists hearing clinics that carry Oticon products as well as clinics that do not. It costs money to produce and operate a website with thousands of pages of reliable, unbiased content and we appreciate Demant's commitment to providing this resource to consumers. We agree with you - people seeking help for their hearing should consider many factors when choosing a provider, including distance from their home and real patient reviews. - The team at Healthyhearing.com

We're so glad you had a great experience! However, based on your location in Great Britain, we think this review is meant for healthyhearing.co.uk, a clinic in the UK that is not related to HealthyHearing.com. We are a US-based directory of clinics.
