Adoption Plan

What this page helps you decide

You bought hearing aids somewhere else and now you need someone here. People moved, the clinic closed, the online seller has no clinic, or the follow-up they were promised never materialized.

An adoption plan is this practice taking over care of devices it did not sell, where the brand, the model, and the fitting software allow. Call with the make, model, and rough age before you book, because that is what decides whether we can help.

Who This Helps

  • Patients who moved to Westchester with hearing aids fitted elsewhere
  • People whose original clinic has closed or changed hands
  • Buyers of online or big-box devices who need in-person programming
  • Anyone unsure whether the hearing aids they own still match their hearing

When to Schedule

  • You like the hearing aids but have nobody local to adjust them
  • The settings have not been touched since the day you got them
  • You need parts, cleaning, or app help and have no clinic to call

What to Expect During the Appointment

  1. Step 1

    You call with brand, model, and approximate age, and we check serviceability before you come in.

  2. Step 2

    We review your hearing history and what is not working now.

  3. Step 3

    The devices are inspected and cleaned, and we check whether the physical fit is still right.

  4. Step 4

    Where we hold the manufacturer's software, we check the settings against your hearing rather than trusting the previous programming.

  5. Step 5

    We tell you what the practice can support, and where a manufacturer repair or a replacement is the honest answer.

Why Professional Audiology Care Matters

Hearing aids need somebody to adjust them, and devices with nobody behind them end up in a drawer. There is a real limit worth knowing: some brands lock their fitting software to their own channel, and goodwill does not get around that. Better to hear it on the phone than after the drive.

Before you schedule

Make the appointment more useful

The most productive hearing-care visits start with specific examples. Bring the moments where listening breaks down, the devices or apps you already use, and the questions you want answered.

Adoption Plan FAQs

Can you program hearing aids bought elsewhere?

Often, but not always. It depends on the brand, the model, and whether we hold the manufacturer's fitting software. Call with those details first.

What if mine cannot be serviced here?

We say so, and explain what is left: manufacturer repair, replacement parts, or a conversation about newer devices.

What does an adoption plan cost?

Contact the office for current fees and what is included. Pricing is not published on this site, and a page is a bad place to quote it.

Are online or warehouse-club hearing aids covered?

It depends entirely on the model and the software behind it. Some are supportable here, some are locked to the seller. The phone call takes two minutes.
