Hearing Aid Fitting
We offer precision fittings for all hearing aid styles using advanced software to adjust frequencies, sound levels, and settings according to individual needs. Our process ensures both physical comfort and audio customization, recognizing that every ear and hearing requirement is unique. Follow-up appointments fine-tune devices for optimal performance in various listening environments.

Dr. Christine is a very good doctor. She is patient and always listens to me about my concerns with my hearing aids. She works hard to fix them. Dr. Christine is punctual with her appointments. If I have an issue with my hearing aids, she is always available to help me. I am very happy with Dr. Christine.

Dr. Christine was incredibly patient and helpful when I came to her after my former audiologist suddenly closed her practice. Although I didn't purchase my fairly new aids from Dr. Christine, she was not only willing to see me, but was also so helpful in tweaking the settings to be comfortable for me. I am actually sorry that I didn't discover Long Island Hearing sooner!
