“Dr. Abraham has been my audiologist for over a decade. She listens, understands, then tries to find the best solution for my lifestyle. I travel extensively and sometimes have to resort to clinics in other countries - but I've never found this level of compassion and understanding - she goes out of her way to help. The hearing aids she recommended have by far been the best I've ever worn and have brought some normality to my life in the absence of proper hearing. I am very thankful to have someone who understands hearing loss and is there when I most need her!”
Nanci E. of Huntington Station, NY 07/17/2018 Review submitted online
“I have been a patient of Dr. Abraham for the entire time that she has been with EVENT. She will work with you until she finds the right solution for you. She wants you to be comfortable with that solution as well. She is the best as far as I am concerned . Her staff is top notch but I am still partial to Dr Abraham. If you are having trouble getting it right see the audiology dept at EVENT. The key to the success is you being able to explain what you are hearing and what you do not hear. It is a partnership in getting the right hearing aid for you!!! Thanks Paula for all you do for those of us in the world of troubled hearing!!!!”

“I liked that she listened. When I first originally got the hearing aids she had a little difficulty getting them into my ears because I have such small ear canals and I kept them for a few days but then I quit even trying them because my ears were starting to hurt just by me trying to force them. So when I went back for my following appointment. I asked if they had plugs that were smaller then maybe I wouldn't have so much trouble getting them into my ear because the one I had just wouldn't do it for me. So miraculously she found some smaller ones. I'm happy with them now.”
