I have been coming here for over a decade. I was born with my SN hearing loss and had an audiologist I was with for 18 years before having to switch when he retired. Tara has been the most amazing, empathetic and hard working audiologist I’ve ever known. I am a difficult case as I have a very hard time adjusting to new hearing aids and every time i find something that works it’s gets “retired”. She has always gone above and beyond for me even when I was feeling hopeless. She has never stopped and it a very comforting to know she really cares. She has seen me through my college years, grad school, becoming a PA, the covid struggles and everything in between. I now pay out of pocket since my insurance doesn’t cover services but I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you Tara for keeping me going and never giving up! You are amazing at what you do. The office staff is also very sweet and kind. I’m so grateful for that. 13/10 recommend this location.

Not too many medical practices make you feel welcome like IBH.The staff is top notch as is the doctors. Lori, Tracey, and Tara are all pleasant and caring. They are at the top of their profession. Well deserving of the best of long island rating.

I have used hearing aids for years. Tracey is the first Audiologist to program my hearing aids properly. I could not believe that I was loaned a pair while mine went in for warranty repair. (I did not get my current aids from IBH) My repaired Aids came back and were programed so I just had to pick them. Give them a try you will be treated well.

I am extremely happy with Island Better Hearing. I resisted getting hearing aids for a long time and am so glad I finally did. Dr Tracey Lynch is wonderful-- bright, patient, caring... makes you feel very comfortable. She spent a long time with me finding just the right hearing aids for my hearing loss. I would highly recommend Dr. Lynch and Island Better Hearing.

I had an excellent experience at Island Better Hearing, and strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a hearing aid/audiologist. They used state of the art quantitative and qualitative measures to meet my hearing prescription, and offered a wide range of top quality hearing aids. My audiologist, Tara, is outstanding - competent, knowledgeable, friendly and patient - she made the whole experience a pleasure. I spent a lot of time researching and looking for the right practice, and I definitely found it here!

I have been using the services of Island Better Hearing for more than seven years. I have been well satisfied with the service, the attention to my issues, the professionalism of all of the doctors and staff and the recommendations for equipment that they have made. They have always been available to answer questions and to provide follow up. Dr Tracy Lynch is currently handling my care. She is a warm and friendly person who always makes me feel comfortable. She has recently been extremely patient in helping me transition to new aids as a result of continuing deterioration of my hearing. I highly recommend Island Better Hearing to anyone suffering from hearing loss and needing hearing aids.

Loss of hearing is a delicate and somewhat private thing. At IBH I was treated with respect and understanding from my first phone call. Dr Tracy Lynch went above and beyond to make sure I was fitted with the hearing aids that worked best for my clinical and financial needs. I cannot say enough about her professionalism and expertise. I will be suggesting IBH for anyone with hearing needs.

I highly recommend Island Better Hearing in Melville. Dr. Tracey Lynch and her team were extremely professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. Dr. Lynch went above and beyond to provide the right hearing aids for my father, and she even did a fitting in our car when the electricity was out due to the recent tropical storm. The service we received was truly exceptional and the 5 star rating is well deserved. This practice is top knotch!

I have had hearing aids for almost 20 years and have used the same audiologist ever since. I recently switched to Island Better Hearing as is close to work and much closer to my house than my previous audiologist. I wish I had switched sooner. Everyone is very nice and professional here. I was seen promptly and even though I am not in the market for new hearing aids they took great care of me and even lent me a hearing aid while one was sent out for repair. I dealt with Dr Tracy and she was wonderful. They even were able to send my chart immediately to an ENT so that they would be ready for me at that appointment. If you need an audiologist in the Huntington area Island Better Hearing will take great care of you.

This highly professional office staff is absolutely as good as it gets. I am a person who over researches all the health services I use. And in this case, it certainly paid off. I have received phenomenal auditory testing and frequent adjustments as the hearing aids I purchased are excellent and I have had constantly improved hearing skills since I got them. Doctor Lori is a remarkable practitioner. She has amazing communication skills, tremendous warmth and all it takes to see her when I have a problem is a simple phone call and a willingness to get right over to the office. I feel that we are in a partnership regarding my hearing health.

Have known Lori her entire life as I was first serviced by her father and knew her as we were both growing up. Now she is in charge and doing an even better job.

Im new to hearing aids. I see Dr. Tara at Island Better Hearing and she is the best. She did some very comprehensive testing prior to her bringing in several different hearing aids for me to try.After helping me decide which product worked best for me, again through best practices, she was able to get me a respectable discount. All through the process she has been wonderful following up to make sure we made the right choice. During this whole process the manufacture of my hearing aids came out with a newer model, which Dr. Tara was able to upgrade for me at no additional charge.The office is clean and very well regimented in making appointments. No waiting in the office with other patients. They not only use best practices in fitting you with hearing aids, but also complying with best practices with Covid19.

Lori and her team are the best audiologists I have ever worked with. I have serious noise damage from military service and have worn hearing aids for over thirty years. Lori is the most competent and caring audiologist Ive had in all those years. I moved away too far to still ask for their help. For a few years, I drove down from Connecticut for repairs and tests because of the confidence I have in Lori and her team.

I was referred to Island Better Hearing for a hearing evaluation regarding Ménière’s disease. The office is so professional and my experience there was excellent. At this time I do not need a hearing device. But I will be sure to be back with my husband who will be needing an evaluation and possible hearing aids in the future. if you want A top-notch professional evaluation regarding hearing and any hearing aid that you may need this is the place to go.

Island Better Hearing treated my mother for hearing loss, and they did an excellent job in making her feel comfortable.

I have been going to Island Better Hearing since Lori’s father, Bob Trentacoste, started the business back in the early 70s. They are dedicated professionals who take the time to make sure that the hearing aid you wind up with is the right one for you.Although profoundly hard of hearing, I have been able to pursue a lifelong love of music, and I’ve played in a number of bands. I am convinced that this would not have been possible had I not had Long Island Better Hearing providing me with the best hearing aids for my type of hearing loss and their understanding of my needs. Each time I get a new model, Tara takes the time to fine tune the frequency responses so that I can hear as much of the musical spectrum as I can. I’ve even brought synthesizers into the office so I can hear specific presets and sounds through a new aid. They’ve even gone out to the parking lot to adjust my hearing aid as my car’s security alarm goes off so I can hear it.How good are they? If I ever move to another state, I will come back once a year for them and my motorcycle mechanic!

I highly recommend Dr. Mazzone and her staff for anybody who suspects that they may suffer from hearing loss or is already aware that their hearing has become an issue. She is affable and patient and always makes you feel like youre the only patient on her schedule. She is eminently knowledgeable pertaining to available treatment options and hearing assistance products and, along with her friendly staff, are able to advise you in short order as to the health benefits provided by your individual insurance carrier. I was also happily surprised to find, in stark contrast to my initial belief, that I could be fitted with an unobtrusive, comfortable hearing aid.In my experience there has never been a wait time for any of my appointments and, thanks to her expertise and guidance, the quality of my life has been drastically improved!Thank you Dr. Mazzone

Hearing impaired child? This review is specifically for parents who need help. Our daughters hearing loss was discovered at age 5. She is now 10 years of age and has been seeing Dr. Lynch, who is our third audiologist, for a few months. From the first visit, Dr. Lynch treated our daughter as if she were her own child.Dr. Lynch understands child development and the negative hearing environment that school can be, and how the hearing loss can affect a child academically and socially. The effective partnership of all those helping our daughter begins with the audiologist and she enthusiastically collaborates with us, the schools audiologist, our daughters classroom teacher, Teacher of the Deaf, and private speech therapist.Dr. Lynch fixed a problem we could not as parents...she gave our daughter the gift of hearing. Dr. Lynch is warm, caring, intelligent, and patient and never settles for good enough. She understands our feelings both as parents and as advocates for our child, and consistently provides the support we desperately and urgently need. She promptly returns phone calls and patiently and thoroughly answers all our questions. She validates our concerns and provides specific and immediate remedies.As parents, we always wonder what else we can do to help our child - Dr. Lynch is the answer. If you are a parent reading this, please give Dr. Lynch and the team at Island Better Hearing the opportunity to help you and your child. You both deserve the best care and you will eagerly receive that from Dr. Lynch and her staff.

I have been going to Dr. Lori Trentacoste for almost 20 years now and I cannot recommend Island Better Hearing more highly. She is totally dedicated and wont settle for anything but the best for her patients. Her staff is friendly, understanding and always accommodating.At one point I went to a different audiologist in the Huntington area because my insurance had changed. Well, I realized right away, because I had a reference point having been to Dr. Lori that the service I was getting was not up to the standard I was used to. So, I went back to Dr. Lori without hesitation.So dont hesitate for a moment, if you need to have your hearing checked and or know that you need a hearing aid make an appointment at Island Better Hearing you will not be disappointed.

As a physician for 49 years, I thought that I knew the right place to go for any medical issue.So I want to a large ENT group where the physician I knew for many years took great care of me.He recommended the audiology Dept in his office where I was given an audio gram and fitted for the new Phonak marvels.Fitted, programmed and sent home with the promise that new firmware updates would arrive shortly and programming could be done while I was home and the audiologist was in her office.They kept falling out and was told, couldn’t get programming at home since “no wi fi in office!Yet I used wi fi in the waiting room.They refused to take me to waiting room!They still kept falling out!I tried them for a month, no change, went back and was told I could tape the Phonak to behind my ears and still no wi fi.Asked to see a supervisor, was taken to waiting room and update complete after lots of haste!Close friend of mine had the Phonak from Island Better hearing, Dr.Tracey.Got an appt and all in the office were incredible, and Dr Tracey was incredible!!!Changed the wires and ear buds and”perfect fit!!!”She reprogrammed the Phonak s and now can get adjustments at home via wi fi.Their office is not this “ architectural digest” office like the the previous office, it’s in a small mall, you would never expect such professional work from such a small office!!I highly recommend Island Better Hearing as the only place for your hearing pathology!And this is coming from a physician still practicing after 40 years.This is the only place to go!!Dr. Tracey is a brilliant professional, a real asset to the medical profession!!Even if you are already fitted with hearing aids, go there for a second opinion!!

Im gonna go ahead and actually type in a long review that also briefly describes another family members experience to follow up on my initial 5 star rating. My apologies for it being long, but I figured context leading up to my encounter would help. Feel free to skip down to the bottom to get my final thoughts.I have had hearing issues in my right ear essentially since birth, and I have been in and out of various types of audiology places throughout my life. After several failed attempts with surgery when I was younger to restore my hearing, it was decided a hearing aid was the way to go, until if ever I chose to try the surgery route again. Fast forward 10 years, I find myself in Long Island, away from my home state of California, taking care of my uncle who, among other hardships, is also hearing impaired, but in both ears. Through necessity and various means, we found ourselves at Island Better Hearing. The first thing I noticed was just how nice the office is. I wasnt uncomfortable at all, and enjoyed the casual splash that it promotes, and the staff was very nice and helpful. The person my uncle was paired with was Dr. Tracey Lynch. From my own observations, I was impressed with how she handled the situation with my uncle, who is also blind. She was extremely accommodating for him, and was very much a pleasure to speak too. It was at that point I decided if I was to get established with an audiologist to get a hearing aid, it would be here, and with her.Fast forward some more! We received a letter in the mail from IBH that they were having a special event to help people get set up and established with hearing aids. I decided that was my calling! So I naturally made an appointment to see Tracy. I have to emphasize how nice my experience was. I didnt like going through this stuff at previous places in the past, but at IBH, it was a far cry from those days. As expected, Tracey was accommodating and made the appointment a breeze. She was informative with helping me learn the ins and outs of my new hearing aid, and as such I was quickly able to get a understanding about my new device. She also gets back to you fairly quickly over email, which is a plus if the situation calls for it. I havent had the chance to meet all of the staff there, but I have no doubt theyre all awesome people. If youre on Long Island, and even more so in the mid-island area, this is the place to go!

Lori was the ultimate professional in Audiology. I had problems with a fitting from another audiologist and went to IBH and now I hear EVERYTHING! It was amazing. She explains your hearing difficulties in easy to understand terminology and she makes me feel like Im her only patient!!! News Flash - If you live on Long Island, dont go anywhere else. Make the trip to IBH, you wont be disappointed!!!

Im new to the hearing aid game so dont have any other places to compare IBH to. I went on a friends recommendation and was glad I did. I have confidence in Lori and the customer service has been top notch.
