Dr Neil Sperling meets with the inventor of Earlens, Dr. Rodney Perkins.
A Center of Excellence for the Earlens Contact Hearing Solution
Dr. Sperling and his team at New York Otolaryngology Group and The New York Hearing Center are proud to be one of three nationwide Centers of Excellence for the Earlens Hearing Aid. This advanced technology directly vibrates the eardrum, offering superior sound quality compared to traditional hearing aids.
Most Complete Sound
Earlens can provide meaningful amplification from 125 Hz all the way to 10 kHz, while conventional hearing aids have trouble amplifying outside of 550 Hz to 5.5 kHz. But research has shown that those lower and higher frequencies impact sound quality and speech understanding, especially in noisy environments.
Premium Care
The Earlens Hearing Aid is the only non-surgical solution that integrates the expertise of both an ENT physician and an audiologist or hearing health professional. This unique combination ensures comprehensive care and optimal results for those seeking advanced hearing solutions.
Advanced, Custom Technology
Earlens solution includes a custom Ear Tip and Lens to optimize comfort and fit based on an ear impression taken by the ENT physician. After they are ready, your physician will place the Lens in your ear, and your audiologist will program Earlens to your unique hearing needs.
How it Works
The Earlens contact hearing solution features a small, custom lens placed on the eardrum. A behind-the-ear processor picks up sound and transmits it through an ear tip in the ear canal. This tip sends an electromagnetic signal to the lens on the eardrum, directly stimulating the natural hearing system. By avoiding the feedback issues common with traditional hearing aids, Earlens delivers high gain across a wide frequency range.
