“I needed a hearing Doctor to help me with my hearing. After several bad experiences with other doctors and Big Box retail stores hearing centers, I found Dr. Cardano. Within minutes of my first appointment, Dr. Cardano went into action and began to analyze my hearing problems. And with the effortless experience of a true professional Dr. Cardano immediately solved my bad hearing. With state of the art technology in his office, he easily helped me hear better instantly. Dr. Cardano took the time to explain to me what was the problem, and addressed all of my concerns. Finally, a hearing Doctor that knows what he is doing and truly cares about his patient. ME! I am grateful to have met him and if you are serious about fixing your hearing, look no further, Dr. Cardano is the Doctor you are looking for! ”

“Hearing Center of Long Island not that far from my house. One day my I took my moms hearing aid to the center and asked to take a look at because it was not turning on. People at that location was very nice and friendly. Even I did not purchase the hearing aid from them, they looked at it, fixed it and replaced the battery. When I asked for how much I owe you, the audiologist said nothing. I was really surprised for such a wonderful gesture from him. You just made me your permanent customer. Thank you.”

“I picked up my hearing devices on January 27 and went back today to discuss how I was making out with them. I explained to Dr Lazzaro that they didn't seem as strong and she made some adjustments. It is better now and when I go back in two weeks I will see if any other adjustments. I appreciate the 60 day trial which will allow me to discuss any problems that I am having with the hearing aids and see what adjustments can be made. ”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Larry for over 25 years. All my experiences have always been positive. About 6 weeks ago, I was listening to a funeral. The soloist was signing Danny Boy. I thought he was signing in Gaelic but no, it was English. Time for new aides. I just received a new set of hearing aides. I get thrilled when I hear a sound that has been absent from my life . What’s that noise? It’s the ceiling fan. The best is I have clarity back with language. ”

“Was referred by a friend to go to this place for my hearing. Happy knew I had some hearing loss. Such a friendly staff as well as doctors. I had a free consultation which took about 1 1/2 hours! Never felt like it took that long. I was given all different kinds of State of the Art tests for both ears! Wow, never knew my hearing was that bad. I was given a small hearing aid for each ear as the hearing loss was different in each ear. Amazing that I can actually hear! Does not even feel like I have them in. I followed up about a week later, and just a minor tweak had to be done due to my hearing loss. So if you think you are losing your hearing, book your complementary hearing test today! Excellent Place no Gimmicks!”

“I am so satisfied with my hearing aids; I’m comfortable in social settings and have been to many restaurants and a few home gatherings. The tv volume has been dramatically lowered. I am adjusting to the over-the-ear piece but a small price to pay for hearing. The hearing aids are expensive; the neuro technology is amazing! ”

“Getting new hearing aids can be a challenge -- getting comfortable with them can be another matter entirely. I'm more than pleased to say when I thought I had an issue with one of my brand new aids, but was not local to my (usual and primary) audiologist, I was able to be seen by Dr. Cardano....and right away, to boot. He took the time, had the patience, and showed good humor in reinforcing what I might term the "care and feeding" of my hearing aids. What initially felt like an emergency wound up in fact being a happy 45 minutes spent with delightful, friendly, knowledgeable and kind people. You can be sure that when I am in LI, and any issues arise, I will be coming back. If you are local in LI and looking for an audiologist/hearing aid provider, my recent happy experience -- in a pinch -- should be a guide for your own consideration. ”

“Before getting my new hearing aids, I had difficulty distinguishing beginning consonants: particularly v's, f's, g's, b's and many others. I found friends and family members, talking among themselves and leaving me out of the conversation. However, after Dr. Larry selected a pair of aids that was perfectly adjusted to my hearing loss, I have gained new confidence when conversing in a group. (keeping the social distancing) Thanks to the Hearing Center, life has become richer and more relaxed. I don't have to strain to hear and, also, to attempt what people are saying. ”
