Single-sided deafness (SSD) means severe or profound hearing loss in one ear while the other ear has normal or near-normal hearing. Treatment may include CROS or BiCROS devices, bone-conduction technology or a cochlear implant. Which option makes sense depends on the hearing in both ears, the cause of the loss and the results of a full hearing evaluation. NYC Hearing Associates provides diagnostic hearing care through a team that includes licensed Doctors of Audiology (Au.D.), with a separate Cochlear Implant Center for patients who need implant evaluation and care.

A hearing aid fitting checks how your selected hearing aids fit and programs them according to your audiogram. You’ll also learn how to use and care for your devices before trying them in everyday life. NYC Hearing Associates’ clinical team includes experienced audiologists and Doctors of Audiology (Au.D.) who provide hearing assessment and hearing aid care across New York.

Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) combines structured counseling with individualized sound therapy to make tinnitus less intrusive over time. The aim isn't to drown out the ringing. It's to help your brain stop treating it as a sound that constantly needs your attention. At NYC Hearing Associates, Au.D. audiologists provide personalized tinnitus care across New York City.

The cost of prescription hearing aids in NYC can range from roughly $1,500 to $7,000+ per pair, depending on the technology, style, included services, and insurance coverage. NYC Hearing Associates’ board-certified Au.D. audiologists can assess your hearing and explain which options make sense before you invest in a device. Insurance can change what you actually pay. Original Medicare does not cover hearing aids or exams specifically for fitting them, although some Medicare Advantage plans offer additional hearing benefits. Eligible New York Medicaid members may be covered for medically necessary hearing aids. Financing through CareCredit or PowerPay can spread the cost interest-free over 12–24 months. Financing can also help spread eligible out-of-pocket costs over time.
