Assistive devices training - while hearing aids are extremely useful, sometimes the hearing aid alone will not provide sufficient help. To help with more challenging listening situations, CHC provides auxiliary or assistive devices and the specialized orientation or training required to use them effectively. These include alerting devices which react to alarm situations, and assistive listening devices which facilitate communication. Click here to learn more about our Devices Center.
Free hearing screenings are held every Wednesday from 12-2pm and Thursday from 4-6pm by appointment only in our New York City office. Phone (917) 305-7766 to reserve a screening or click here to request an appointment online.
The Listening Studio is an audio and video installation acoustically designed to simulate an array of real-life listening environments. Working in this unique setting, audiologists at the Center for Hearing and Communication can provide people with the opportunity to maximize the benefit they obtain from their hearing aids. Hearing aid settings can be fine-tuned to maximize performance in real-world situations including the classroom, a noisy city street and a subway platform. Learn more.

Cochlear Implant Support Group – provides specialized information and support for successful adaptation to cochlear implants, which is a surgical breakthrough that restores hearing sensation to people who are profoundly deaf and cannot benefit adequately from amplification.

Mobile Hearing Test Unit – Our Mobile Unit is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and contains a sound-isolated audiometric testing room, counseling area, waiting room, and is wheelchair accessible. Staffed by a CHC licensed audiologist, the unit can provide hearing screenings for up to 75 individuals a day. To date, over 250,000 infants, children, and adults have been tested through our Mobile Unit outreach, which brings needed hearing healthcare to workplaces, public spaces, and underserved neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs and the surrounding metropolitan area. Current specialized outreach programs include:
- Project P.A.T.H. (Preschool Access to Hearing), providing hearing screening, referrals, and bi-lingual support materials to thousands of New York City pre-schoolers and their families, through a network of nursery schools.
- Senior Hearing Program provides hearing screening, evaluation, hearing health care workshops and referral through visits to senior centers throughout the five boroughs.
- Corporate/Private Sponsorships – through targeted underwriting and sponsorships, corporations fund the Mobile Unit to travel to various neighborhoods for free public screenings, health fair participation, or to designated workplaces for employee hearing testing.
