David Greenberg is a student in the Doctor of Audiology program at the University of Pittsburgh. We recently had the pleasure of helping him fulfill part of the requirements for his doctoral program by visiting us and learning about our approach to audiology. Helping to encourage and inspire the next generation of audiologists to provide the best possible care for those coping with hearing loss is always gratifying for us, but it’s especially so with a student as enthusiastic and dedicated as David. Below are some comments about his experience with us that he wanted to share. David, Doctor-to-Be! Inspiring the Next Generation of Audiologists!

Audiology has been a fascinating subject for me to study. It is a field I feel passionately about because of its growing prevalence, and it provides a great opportunity to help others. Observing at the Hearing Center of Long Island was an amazing experience that reaffirmed my desire to be an audiologist. It was very rewarding to see the look on a patient’s face when they were able to hear again thanks to the technology, techniques, and services provided by Dr. Cardano and his staff. It is this result that drives me to pursue a career in audiology. My aspiration to be an audiologist goes further than just helping others; it strikes a personal nerve, as well. My father has been hard of hearing for my entire life, and I know firsthand just how hearing loss affects an individual and those around them. It is my mission to provide expert care to each future client and ensure that their individual concerns are addressed, as well as the concerns of those who love them. The Hearing Center of Long Island was a great opportunity to see this in action. Every patient I observed expressed their concerns and reservations about wearing
a hearing aid. The doctors addressed each client’s personal situation, including their environments, financial situation, and specific concerns. In the end, each client was fitted with the hearing aid most appropriate for their lifestyle. This sort of transparency is what I admire most in a clinical setting. My time at the clinic proved that the staff at the Hearing Center of Long Island goes above and beyond to provide excellent service. All of this is done while ensuring satisfaction with the chosen technology, and they continue to address concerns as they arise. I will carry my experiences here throughout my future career as an audiologist, and I’ll strive to provide the same quality of service that patients receive at the Hearing Center of Long Island. Fondly,
