What we do:

• Using the latest and most sophisticated technology, we determine if you’ve had a hearing loss--and, if you have, we ascertain its exact nature and cause.
• If your hearing loss requires medical or surgical intervention, we can refer you to a physician (otologist or neurologist) for appropriate treatment.
• If your type of hearing loss can best be treated with the use of hearing aids and/or other assistive listening devices (which is true in the great majority of cases), we can select any of a wide range of hearing devices and custom fit them to your ear, programmed to augment your hearing at those frequency levels where your hearing loss is greatest.

Our clinic is headed by Dr. Noel Crosby, who has been an audiologist for over 21 years.

She was on the inaugural board of the Florida Academy of Audiology, served as its president in 2000, and has been re-elected to a new term as president beginning in 2009. Dr. Crosby worked at Sarasota’s Silverstein Institute for 14 years, for the last six of which she was Director of Audiology.While there she established the Institute’s cochlear implant program as well as Sarasota Memorial Hospital’s infant hearing screening program. In 2006 she established her own clinic, which is now one of two in Sarasota County authorized to dispense the revolutionary “completely invisible” Lyric hearing device. Because she operates independently of any hearing aid manufacturer, Dr. Crosby can provide her patients with unbiased evaluations and fit them with whatever hearing devices might best suit their individual needs. She has fitted hearing aids from a wide range of manufacturers, including Phonak, Oticon, Starkey, Unitron, Widex, Siemens, Rexton, ReSound, Sonic Innovations, and many more. A founding member of her local Self Help for Hard of Hearing Persons (SHHH) chapter, Dr. Crosby has also served on the board of directors of the Deaf Service Center of Manatee and Sarasota counties and is a member of the American Academy of Audiology. She has coauthored professional papers on multichannel cochlear implants and on electrical audiometry in the diagnosis of acoustic neuromas, and she has lectured throughout the state of Florida on hearing loss and hearing therapies.

Dr.Crosby maintains clinical offices at two sites south of Sarasota: Englewood and Boca Grande. She and her husband Michael and daughter Micah reside in Sarasota.

Renee Giordano has been with this clinic and its predecessor for seven years and is the office manager, whose duties include scheduling appointments, maintaining all patient files, preparing warranty letters, and dealing with financial matters.
