If you need hearing aids, you can't POSSIBLY find a place better than Island Better Hearing. The staff and doctors are incredible! They made me feel so comfortable when I got my very first hearing aid over 5 years ago, and they're so friendly and helpful. Tara is so sweet and thorough, and made sure I understood all of my options to help me find the right ones every time. And now that I have 2 hearing aids, she shows remarkable patience while I struggle to find a comfortable balance between the two. And the staff? I can't begin to explain how lucky I feel every time I walk into the office and am greeted with huge smiles and kindness. I don't even need to give them my name because they already know me - they even ask about little personal things they remember about me, even in those times they don't see me for around a year. I have a lot of doctors, constantly in and out of doctor's offices, and although I see some of them fairly often, none of them take the time to show me the kindness and warmth that these ladies do. To all of you at IBH, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do for me and for others. read more

Having been reluctant to deal with my hearing loss for years, I decided several years ago to finally address it. I went to several Audiologists and was less than happy with recommendations, costs their willingness to deal with insurance follow ups. I'm so happy I found IBH and Dr. Tara Mazzone. Her evaluation was thorough and she recommended several reasonable options, explaining the strengths and weaknesses of each. I am now on my 3rd pair of aids ( I like to stay current with technology) and my work and social life has improved dramatically. And no one realizes I wear hearing aids. IBH worked with me and with my insurance company to ensure I got the best product with minimal cost to me. I have since referred my mom and sister and they too are very happy with IBH. Kudos to Dr Tara and the entire IBH office for great service!!! read more

Outstanding. I've been battling using hearing aids for the last 10 years until I moved back to Huntington New York and was told about Island Better Hearing. I wear a cross system because I lost hearing in one ear completely over night while I was sleeping. Chasing batteries is such a hassle and I could never keep enough on hand. Island Better put me in a set of recharging hearing aidS and took the time to educate me on my latest pair which was time well spent. I've only had one issue but it was my fault and I damaged the one side which when I stop at the store to see if it could be repaired, the response was simple, give us 10 minutes and I was back up and running.. Love the attention and the professional attitude from all the Ladies who work there. You won't be sorry. DLL read more

if you're looking for a hearing place that is professional & has a friendly staff, look no further than Island Better Hearing (IBH). When my mom finally acknowledged her hearing loss - it was a loss for us all. We didn't know the 1st thing about how to help her. But as soon as we found IBH, mom settled down and so could we. Over the last 8 years, we've come to feel at home & in great hands! Mom especially loves Dr. Tara & they have a good time catching up during appointments. Dr. Tara even made an emergency home visit to change our mom's hearing aids when she was home recovering from open heart surgery! They're care & concern is seen in every Doctor & Staff Member. read more

I brought my Mom here because I was worried about her hearing. My mom was nervous and I was worried she was going to be depressed if she got bad news. Island Better Hearing made the whole experience such a positive one. From the minute we walked in the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The doctor was extremely knowledgeable and made my Mom feel so good about how she could help her to hear the things she's been missing. I can't remember the last time my mother felt this good after seeing any doctor. The staff helped us with the paperwork and I can not wait till our next appointment. These people are gems. I am so happy we found them! read more

This highly professional office staff is absolutely as good as it gets. I am a person who over researches all the health services I use. And in this case, it certainly paid off. I have received phenomenal auditory testing and frequent adjustments as the hearing aids I purchased are excellent and I have had constantly improved hearing skills since I got them. Doctor Lori is a remarkable practitioner. She has amazing communication skills, tremendous warmth and all it takes to see her when I have a problem is a simple phone call and a willingness to get right over to the office. I feel that we are in a partnership regarding my hearing health. read more

I highly recommend Island Better Hearing to anyone experiencing hearing problems. I have been a patient for over four years. I began when I lived in Huntington only a few minutes drive from its office. I continue to be a patient even though I now live a distant two hour drive away from its office. My willingness to drive two hours for each appointment, even though there are undoubtedly scores of audiologists located much closer to me, is a testament to how much I value the warm, generous and caring attitude of its entire staff, especially Dr. Tara Mazzone. If it sounds like I am a big fan of Island Better Hearing, it is because I am! read more

I have only wonderful things to say about everyone at Island Better Hearing! I feel cared for and cared about, and I love my hearing aids. I have friends who report that when they visited other audiology practices, they felt like they were dealing with high pressured sales pitches - not only to purchase hearing aids, but to purchase only very expensive aids. I asked for hearing aids for three years before Lori finally said that I needed them. No high pressure here. Only thorough testing and good advice. And the service is exemplary! I recommend this practice to anyone who tells me they're having trouble hearing. read more

Excellent care. Island Better Hearing examined and treated my 92-year old mom for hearing loss. It seemed my mother couldn't hear even with hearing aids, but the thorough exam provided by Dr. Trentacoste showed she could be treated with the right hearing aid adjusted to compensate for the specific hearing issues my mom was experiencing, and she explained how my mother's diabetes was affecting my mom in relation to hearing and comprehension. We are extremely happy with the time and attention taken by the staff to make sure my mom has her best chance at success with her new hearing aids. Thank you!! read more

I was referred to Dr. Lori Pentacoste at Island better Hearing last summer. Dr. Pentacoste is extremely thorough in the work she does. She also took the time to answer every one of my questions (and I had a lot). I am from California, and after going back home, I had to find a local audiologist. The Doctor in California was so impressed with the thoroughness of the hearing test preformed by Dr. Lori, she recommended I continue to get tested by her annually. My experience with Better Island Hearing was so great that every year I fly to Long Island and have Dr. Lori do my annual check up. read more

About six years ago a profoundly hearing handicapped friend highly recommended Island Better Hearing as the best after trying out several other Huntington area hearing aid vendors. They helped her the most. I also found them the best. The most professional and dedicated to addressing lifestyle quality concerns affected by hearing problem correction, as spelled out in several publications available in the waiting area. Decent hearing aids are not a trivial expense, but Dr. Tara and her colleagues have made me feel good. And hear my wife and others noticeably better. read more

Island Better Hearing is the only place I would consider going. I am in a profession that deals with hearing losses and Dr. Lori Trentacoste and her staff are incredibly knowledgable and future technology forward. Island Better Hearing is a patient driven practice. Dr. Lori listens to your concerns, wants and needs. She understands patients and wants them to be comfortable with their decisions and often says "when you're ready" or "what will work for you". Her testing is incredibly thorough and I would never trust anyone else with my ears!! read more

Dr. Tara Mazzone is my audiologist. I've have purchased hearing aids twice from Island Better Hearing. My first set of hearing aids were good and I was on board to buy the same brand again. Tara was not satisfied with how they were performing for me. We tested three brands before she found ones that she was satisfied with. The new brand has been wonderful. I can hear birds again and it is easier for me to follow conversations. She is a great audiologist and is persistent and kind in seeking the best option for her clients. read more

Dr. Lori is amazing. I have had hearing aids for quite a while and have never been truly happy with them. Last year I became Dr. Lori's patient. Her patience and expertise impressed me right from the beginning. Yesterday, I went for my annual visit with my usual complaint and she took the time to finely tune my hearing aids. WOW. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I can hear just about everything.......except my wife of course... Thank you Dr. Trentacoste for really caring. read more

Ive been taking my 18 year old special needs son to Island Better hearing since he was a child. I can't say enough of the special care and attention he has received over the years.

Even though I moved to the south shore I still make the drive to Island Better Hearing to get the top notch service they provide. read more
