“I've been buried with work and realized that I was a few days from a vacation in Aruba and asked Dr. Lori if she had any availability. She did not and I figured that because she's so good and in high-demand. Lori referred me to Dr. Jillian and it was my first time with her after years with Lori. Dr. Jillian was awesome and I honestly felt like I was in the amazing care from Lori - the professionalism was top-notch. Dr. Jillian explained everything in layman terms and was completely thorough with her testing and examination. She even used a machine to "Powerwash" my ears which I've never had before and removed some stubborn earwax. Jillian made me feel like I was her only patient she had for the day and I knew the waiting room was packed it was a nice comforting feeling! These Audiologists at Island Better Hearing are simply amazing! They have given me my life back, my social life back and most of all my family back. Drive the extra miles and fight the traffic to come to Melville. You won't be disappointed, I promise you!!”

“I started looking for an audiologist several years ago and was given an ear exam just using headphones. That was all the audiologist did before giving me a quote on the 1 hearing aid that they suggested. Years past and I came across Island Better Hearing and made an appointment. Dr Lori was professional, knowledgeable and patient to provide the best solution to my hearing loss. She gave me several hearing tests in a soundproof booth, in order for me to try different major brand hearing aids to be able to select the one that I had the best score. She allowed me to demo those aids to get a feel for which ones I felt were better before spending the money on just any device unlike the other audiologist who did not go the extra mile. I personally would highly recommended any of the 3 audiologists at Island Better Hearing for their expertise, knowledge, understanding and ability to properly educate and help select the best aid for me. Thank you Island Better Hearing for getting me to hear better. ”

“I went to Island Better Hearing yesterday and met with Dr. Jillian Kornfeld for my cochlear implant hearing test. Jillian is so nice and caring and really listens to you to help you hear your very best. I also was impressed with the other staff who welcomed me into the office before my appointment since this was my first visit to this office.”

“I wish all doctors could be as interested in improving the patient’s condition as Dr Tracey. Not withstanding her proficiency in her field, she really does care. The bonus to this office is the staff, who in my opinion, are equal to Dr. Tracey’s standard. ”

Our daughter has difficulty in communicating and concentrating while in the booth, and Dr. Mazzone and her team come up with very innovative ways to keep her engaged and focused. We love her friendly demeanor and we find that her results are right on target for our daughter. We would highly recommend Dr. Mazzone and Island Better Hearing for all your audiological needs.”

My questions were answered and the results of my hearing tests were carefully explained . I left feeling well cared for and I am eager to return to be fitted with hearing aids that will almost certainly improve the quality of my life !”

“After many months of my wife telling me that I needed to see an audiologist, I contacted Island Better Hearing to meet with Dr. Tracey. From making an appointment to meeting with Dr. Tracey and having my hearing evaluated, the whole experience was delightful. I didn't know what to expect from the evaluation but after spending an hour with Dr. Tracey, I not only understood my hearing loss but had a clear direction on how to move on. The office is very professional and Dr. Tracey was wonderful. I heard everything she said which is why I went to an audiologist in the first place.”

“Lori is amazing. So patient and knowledgeable. Couldn't ask for a better experience.”

“ Service is often an afterthought in the business world. That’s not the case at Island Better Hearing. A few days ago, my hearing aid began acting up. It would randomly become muffled, and sometimes changing through the different settings would also cause it to become muffled. I found that shutting the aid down and powering it up again, it would work until I tried to change to a different preset. After making sure I had a fresh battery in it, the mold was clear, and trying all the presets on the app, I decided to bring it to IBH in the morning and have them check it out. I would also bring along a few of my older aids to see if I could get them refurbished, so I can use them as backups. I play in a band, and I really can’t afford to have my hearing aid go dead on stage without one to immediately replace it. I showed up, without an appointment mind you, and asked if Tara was available. Everyone at IBH is great, but I’ve been going to Tara for years, because she knows best how my wacky brain works. She’s waited patiently while I call up different synthesizer presets on my iPad, so she can adjust the EQ settings on my aid while I play them. She’s gone out to the parking lot to adjust my aid, so I can hear the open trunk alarm on my car. But Tara happened to be with another customer. The woman at the front desk, whose name escapes me right now, asked how she could help. I explained that the Oticon I was wearing might need to be sent out for repair, and that I also wanted to look into how much it would cost to refurbish one or both of my Resound hearing aids. She explained how the refurbishing process would work, looked up which Resound was the newer of the two I had, so I could decide which one(s) to repair when I got the quote, and left a message to Tara for me regarding an aid accessory I had dropped off a while back. When during the course of conversation she learned that both Resound aids had had issues with moisture, she asked me if I wanted to have the Oticon I was wearing put in their drier. I said, “Sure!” After about 15 minutes or so, she came back and said that there had been a lot of moisture in the aid. She explained that the moisture was most likely the cause of the issues I was having with the aid. All of this was done with a smile, a boatload of patience, and respect for the customer. It’s been several days, and my Oticon has been working perfectly. All presets and Bluetooth work. My old aids are on the way to be checked out, and I’m a very satisfied customer. Could I buy a hearing aid elsewhere? Sure, I could. Would I? Absolutely not. Because when it comes right down to it, IBH ticks all the right boxes. TL;DR - I had an issue with an aid, walked in sans appointment, got great service, my issue was solved, and spent not a penny. You can’t go wrong with Island Better Hearing! ”

“Tracey is professional, efficient, and very personable. I would recommend seeing Tracey to any family member or friend. The front desk ladies are very nice and accommodating the office is clean and the equipment is state of the art.”

“Dr Lori has taken great care of me for the last 4 or 5 years since coming to this great office. Not only is everyone very pleasant and helpful but always ready to add a helping hand. I fine Dr Tara extremely friendly, helpful, kind and caring. I know she loves what she does and very dedicated to her patients. It is a pleasure to be in her company. Thanks.”

“Very positive experience. My visits were always on time and the interaction with everyone was warm and professional. Extra callout for Tara who made my experience enjoyable and instructive. I Highly recommend Island Better Hearing. ”

“I was very nervous of course having to go through the fact that I needed a hearing aid, it is a little traumatic admitting not being able to hear.. I must say from the beginning to the end of my process better hearing made me feel so comfortable and at ease it was such a pleasure . Tracey was a pleasure to do business with she was so patient with me and so understanding, I highly recommend better hearing for any hearing aids or hearing aid needs, batteries etc. I highly recommend them and give them a five star rating thank you better hearing for making my hearing better..”

“I cannot say enough great things about the staff at Island Better Hearing. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. In addition, they really care about the patient and treated me with the utmost respect and care for my sensitive issues. Hearing loss is an emotional journey and finding people who care and truly empathize makes the acquisition of a hearing aide that much easier! You can tell that everyone enjoys their job and cannot so enough to make you feel special! Thank you for allowing me to have much better hearing and no longer fight with my family because of me constantly saying “what” or “huh”!”

“Always professional and concerned about what is best for the patient. Dr. Tracey always investigates the best alternative to resolving a concern. Thank you again.”

“Being a musician I was understandably anxious about my hearing loss. It had reached a point where it was truly affecting both my professional and social life. After being checked out by an ENT doctor and audiologist it was quite clear I needed hearing aids. My journey led me to Island Better Hearing which was listed on a website run by an Arizona audiologist Dr. Cliff. Upon meeting Dr. Tracey Lynch I knew I had made the right decision. Her patience and professionalism truly put me at ease. I highly recommend this facility.”

“I have been working with Island Better Hearing since a sudden hearing loss 15 years. At that time, I questioned how I would continue in my profession as a Psychologist, as well as having many concerns about my functioning in social and family situation. With the expertise, support, and sensitivity provided by audiologists Lori Trentacoste and Tracey Lynch, I was able to transition to using a hearing device to continue to manage my professional and personal responsibilities. In recent years, Dr. Tracey Lynch, has always been available to assist when I have experienced challenges with hearing. She is always patient, sensitive, and extremely responsive. I could not ask for any more, and feel fortunate to have been referred to the extremely competent and caring team at Island Better Hearing.”

Dr. Lynch clearly explained what practical options I had, after a complete audio-test, and she gave me the option of trying two different brands, with ample time to try both out in the real world! I am totally satisfied with my purchase and overall experience, and I would not hesitate to heartily recommend the doctor and 'Island Better Hearing'!”

“My whole experience at Island Better Hearing was exceptional. Dr. Tara patiently walked me through the testing process and then the process for learning about and wearing hearing aides. Any questions I had about cost or the hearing aides were thoroughly and patiently answered by her or the other staff members. I was apprehensive about taking this step and not only was it much easier than I’d imagined, I now understand the importance of having done it! ”

“I have been needing hearing aides for 15 years and using them for 10. I recently came to this practice for repair which went well. My hearing aides were 5 years old and I noticed I was becoming less engaged with my friends. I went to see Tara and she went through a series of tests. I told Tara what I was experiencing . I told her I just started piano lessons and I have always loved music. Tara suggested I try a particular brand and style that could suit me needs. When I left her office I turned on the radio in my car and listened for 15 minutes to my recorded music that I've been listen to for years. I could hear pianos where I never knew they existed. I am a very happy man. Thank you Tara for listening to me and finding the perfect match for me.”

“I researched hearing aids at quite a few websites (manufacturers, audiologists, etc.) for a long time before choosing an audiologist for my first-ever hearing devices in July 2016. Although many audiologists are closer to my home, I chose Island Better Hearing because they offered more manufacturers, including the two that pioneered devices made for an iPhone (Starkey and Resound), and because I liked their website. Nine months later, I'm happy with my devices and have had a 100% positive experience with audiologist Tara; she knows her stuff, goes out of her way to be helpful both in the office and by responding to e-mail, and, having recently added my aging dad to her patient list at an independent living facility that IBH visits, has won him over, too, who aptly described her as "very sweet" (after complaining about the attitude of the audiologist he had used through 2016, when he was still living in his own house). The office seems to be very well run; try them!”

“I have been associated with Island Better Hearing since I migrated from the West Indies eight years ago. My experience with this establishment has been excellent and very professional.
