Doctors provide compassion­ate care for New Yorkers with hearing loss

-

Did you know that one in five Americans have hearing loss in at least one ear? That’s 48 million people with hearing loss that impairs communicat­ion. Thirty percent of people 65 to 74, and 47% of people 75 and older, have hearing loss. Untreated hearing loss is correlated with dementia.

At New York Otology and Manhattan Audiology, Sujana Chandrasek­har, M.D., FACS, FAAO-HNS, and Joanna Roufos, Au.D., CCCA, offer state of the art, comprehens­ive, compassion­ate care of all hearing and balance disorders. We specialize in hearing, balance, tinnitus, Cochlear and Baha implants, Meniere’s disease, vertigo, otoscleros­is, chronic ear disease, cholesteat­oma, acoustic neuromas, glomus tumors and facial nerve disorders. We provide a collaborat­ive approach to the treatment of all patients.

Patient care is our top priority. Using the latest state-of-the-art technologi­es, we strive to provide appropriat­e options for all patients who struggle with hearing loss. These include invisible and semi-implantabl­e hearing devices, cochlear implants and bone conduction systems. They are easy to use and can help you hear better in all settings, including quiet conversati­ons, noisy restaurant­s and even on the phone.

We welcome you to attend our hearing loss education seminar, “Healthy Hearing Related to Healthy Aging” and meet hearing aid, cochlear implant and bone conduction system users. Both Dr. Chandrasek­har and Dr. Roufos will present hearing health informatio­n and answer questions. Exhibit tables will highlight all hearing technologi­es with free, hands-on trials.

See you on Dec. 8 from noon to 2:00 p.m. or 5:30–7:30 p.m. Light refreshmen­ts will be served. Real-time captioning of all presentati­ons will be provided.
