One of the ways our practice outperforms the rest... the availability of our unique VAE system to fine-tune your instruments while immersed in the real-world environments that pose the greatest challenge. Your hearing is as good as your fit.

We can always take this a step further for people who rely on their hearing for work. We see physicians, attorneys, health care providers, and teachers. Busy people who must hear well to understand their own patients, clients, and students.

Excellent hearing isn’t optional, and we know our patients demand the best options available today.

We will be closed due to the storm this Monday, 26th at both of the Greece and Brighton offices. Our team will give you a call to reschedule your appointment if you had one today. Be careful out there.

It's just incredible the technology we have to work with today.

If you have been waiting to try something in-the-ear, that also offers you the clearest AI speech processing and all-day power, ask Dr. MacDonald or Dr. Stephany about the Phonak Virto R Infinio option at your next appointment.

Not only does it offer unparalleled functionality, the Virto R comes in 8 colors to from darkest to fair to blend in (or stand out - red & blue!).

🌻 We hope that National Motivation & Inspiration Day gives you the nudge to have your hearing tested for a baseline to see how you are doing today.

👂👂🏽 👂🏿Baseline hearing exams are the way for us to establish how well you are hearing and if/when you may want to think about adding some support. It also gives us a way to verify any sudden changes away from your "normal" should something occur.

Today's motivation: One small positive thought in the morning can change your entire day.

New year, new you? If you are getting some outdoor time on those rare sunny days, we love it!

Increasing your movement during the winter in Rochester can be a fun way to hike, ski, skate or visit our conservation gems such as Wild Wings at Mendon Ponds.

Keep in mind that getting your blood moving keeps your hearing healthy as well, for a whole body lift during the colder months.

What things are you implementing this season to stay healthy? Share your ideas with us!
