“What a wonderful experience with incredible staff and very dedicated and patient Doctors. I took my 3 year old with unilateral hearing loss to this facility for continued testing and to get an aid. They were all so friendly and patient with him! They have gone above and beyond to help us with what we need and have given us so much support in guiding us to receiving what my son is entitled to. ”

“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 recently had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Tara Mazzone to have my hearing tested & then fitted for my first pair of hearing aids. She was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process of restoring my hearing after many years of denial and then tweaking them until I was completely satisfied! I have found all the doctors there to be caring and ready to help everyone who walks in the office and you won't find a better front desk staff who are all friendly and willing to do everything possible to assist you from scheduling your next appointment to getting any problems corrected as quickly as possible with your hearing aids. So my deepest thanks to to Drs. Tara, Lori & Tracey as well as Emily, Wendi, Kathy & Holly for making this experience a memorable and successful transition. You will not find a more caring group of people anywhere than at Island Better Hearing! ”

“I received a complete audiology check-up and Dr. Lori made some adjustments to my right hearing aid. Thus, I'm hearing better! I really appreciate how well Dr. Lori listens to my concerns and acts upon them. I left the office in really good hearing shape! ”

“First used their service for simple repair, they were very helpful and even though I did not buy aide from them they did this for no charge. Several weeks ago needed a new right side aide. They were efficient, friendly and excellent to deal with. Their entire staff so helpful and friendly. Thank you Tara, Tracey and Lori - Lana”

“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. The appointment times are kept, I am always received in a warm and pleasant manner and I have always been treated with the utmost respect. I referred my husband to Island Better Hearing and the amount of assistance he received was beyond words. Tara has been taking care of my hearing needs but by and large, every member of the team is accommodating and caring. Thank you staff of Island Better Hearing. ”

“Without question, I received the most professional care and treatment. The staff is courteous, focused on helping their patient, and always professional in manner. I have already referred someone to them -- she was already a patient!”

“Tara & Lori are very caring with problems and definitely knew their business well. They are a pleasure to do business with.”

“I liked everything! Knowledge, expertise, courtesy, patience, pleasant staff, always positive attitude! They help their patients through this very difficult issue of hearing loss with competence and caring. I am so grateful.”

“All the staff at IBH are some of the most patient friendly staff I have ever come across. They are all extremely knowledgeable in their field. They always go above and beyond to make sure their patients are well taken care of and happy after their visit. This is the only place I would ever take my son for his hearing needs. I trust them all completely with his care.”

“The entire staff is efficient, cooperative, friendly and a pleasure to deal with.”
