EAST MEADOW, N.Y., Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- I Love Hearing, a company offering complete hearing healthcare, is opening its fifth location in East Meadow directly off the Meadowbrook State Parkway this month. The grand opening and ribbon cutting is scheduled for October 17th, 2019.

Aviva Tilson, founder of I Love Hearing, has a very different approach to hearing healthcare and is seeking to revolutionize the industry.

"Our practice changes the way people have been fit with hearing aids for the past 70 years," said Aviva Tilson, founder of the practice. "It's impossible to look at a patient and assume a certain brand will work for them, hearing aid fittings have been brand-specific for decades. By offering many hearing aid brands at our practice, we can find the perfect fit for every patient."

Tilson said East Meadow was chosen because it's near many people who need access to high quality hearing healthcare, including the Bristal Assisted Living facility.

"We want to be convenient to the people we can help," Tilson said.

According to Tilson, choosing a hearing aid is not unlike choosing between an Apple or Android mobile device – there are many quality models on the market, and user preference is a large part of that choice.

"A model that works incredibly well for one person may not work on someone else, but that doesn't mean it's a bad hearing aid – it simply means it's not the best match, and we want our patients to walk away with the right fit, " Tilson said. She added that "it's very important to keep this in mind when reading reviews from other patients or hearing other people's experiences."

At I Love Hearing, patients go through a proprietary process which measures hearing, charts the results, and matches that patient with the hearing aid make and model that best addresses his or her issues.

"As soon as new patients walk into our office, they feel they can trust us because we are not selling them anything – we will not offer something to a patient that won't help them." Tilson said.

Patients can try out the hearing aid before committing to a model. Tilson added that her staff attends quarterly training with each hearing aid brand so they are up-to-date on the latest programming and software changes.

In addition to their unique process, I Love Hearing hosts events to educate patients on hearing aid use, recently partnering with Apple to teach customers how to connect their devices with iPhones and other Apple products. In fact, locals can visit the Apple store at the Roosevelt Field Mall on October 27^th for a tutorial on how to seamlessly sync their iPhone with their hearing aid – even if they got their hearing from someone else.

"Our job is to educate our patients so they can make the best decision for themselves," Tilson said. "When patients are not educated on hearing loss, the causes of hearing loss, and how hearing aids work, they cannot make thorough, sound decisions. Selecting the right model – and learning how to use that model correctly -- has to be an education-based decision."

I Love Hearing's newest location is located at 30 Merrick Ave., Ste #109 East Meadow, N.Y. Hours are by appointment. For more information, to book an appointment, or sign up for the Apple event, visit www.iLoveHearing.com.

I Love Hearing offers nearly every brand, including Widex, Starkey, Oticon, Siemens, Signia, Resound, and more.
