New evidence shows a link between poor heart health and hearing loss. The reason for this surprising correlation? The inner ear is extremely sensitive to blood flow, so obstructions in the arteries and veins – symptoms of impaired cardiovascular health – can impact the peripheral and central auditory systems, leading to hearing impairment.

Buying hearing devices isn’t like buying a flat screen TV. Hearing devices are not just electronic devices, but rather a rehabilitative treatment, requiring long-term commitment to their use.

Dr. Marni Novick is extremely knowledgeable about hearing testing. She carefully calibrates hearing before prescribing hearing aids, and recalibrates after hearing aids are replaced. She follows-up to make sure that the fit is working for each patient. She makes hearing adjustments easy. Her service is caring and highly professional.

Dr Marni was my 4th stop on a journey of trying to find someone who would treat my Tinnitus with some concern instead of telling me there is no cure and there's nothing we can do. Through her in depth hearing tests she identified my frequencies and at what dB they were. She took the time to explain the anatomy so I was more clear on what was Tinnitus and perhaps more importantly what was NOT Tinnitus. She explained all the methods of treatment and how to learn to live with the condition, how to sleep better and how to handle the day to day experience. I hardly notice my Tinnitus today and I'm sleeping so much better. Thank you Dr Marni, you are a blessing to anyone with Tinnitus.
