“Dr. Motechin, I can’t thank you enough for accepting my call so close to Shabbos. I was in Baltimore as our children made a bris Friday morning. Shabbos is always such a special time, and you made it wonderful, allowing me to hear so much of what was going on and to be part of the conversations and enjoy everyone. When you returned my call, I told my husband ‘I don’t know how to thank Hashem for sending me such a special doctor.’ I feel so gebenched and bentch you that, together with your wife, you should be gezunt and have so much yiddishe nachas from your family always. Thank you again.”

“Patience, love, dedication, and professionalism are just a few words I would use to describe Shalom and his practice. Through his nurturing style, he was able to convince my father to purchase and wear a pair of hearing aids. These aids helped improve his quality of life and interaction with those around him.”
~ Leor S. (son of the patient), Cedarhurst, NY
“I have had the opportunity to work with Stuart Shalom for the last 15 years and have seen his skills both as a pediatric audiologist as well as a hearing aid dispenser. The patients who come in for hearing aids only want to deal with him and tell stories about bad experiences with others and how he is typically their savior. He does not force a hearing aid on a person, but only recommends what he thinks is the best and not necessarily the most expensive. He does this with you with humor and seriousness at the same time. He features all the latest technology and spends so much time with the patients to make sure they understand it completely. No one walks out of his office unless they completely understand their new hearing aid. His patience is second to none and I have learned a lot from him.
It is a delight to work with Stuart Shalom and an inspiration to see how he deals with his patients. I look forward to many years of working together with him.”
~ Ari Goldsmith, MD, Brooklyn, NY
“How lucky was I to find a great audiologist, especially by referral. I’ve been a patient for many years and only have wonderful things to say about the quality of service you receive and the wonderful products sold by this company.”
~ Jennifer Oquendo, Brooklyn, NY
“Stuart’s professional, compassionate, and really competent. Some of my friends have complained that their hearing aids from other providers are uncomfortable or bulky; he’s always available to make sure everything works as it should. And he’s a nice guy!”
~ Eileen Greenspun, Cedarhurst, NY
“I’m just going to get straight to the point; 4 years ago I was oblivious to the fact that I couldn’t hear. I was very happy in my little bubble, but unbeknownst to me, my family was not. And so one day they formed a coup or an “intervention” as they like to call it and told me that if I didn’t get my ears checked they would disown me as a mother. Between you and me, having your kids disown you is not really such a terrible thing, but nonetheless, being the good mother that Iam, I went to have my ears checked. And that’s when I met Shalom. In one session, he tested my hearing and fit me with the right hearing aids. Now that may seem like a simple task, but let me tell you that simple it was not. I may seem nice and pleasant but I’m not. I’m difficult, and I wanted to make sure that no one would be able to see my hearing aids, that they wouldn’t squeak in my ears and that above all else they’d be comfortable. There’s nothing worse than walking around feeling like you have a banana in your ear.
I sat in amazement as Shalom went through so patiently all the different types of hearing aids he had to offer. He explained to me the pros and cons of each of them and even had me try on a few so that I would see that wearing a hearing is not the end of the world. Did you know that some hearing aids connect to the bluetooth on your phone? Amazing, no? You learn something new every day. When my hearing aids came, Shalom took his time showing me how to put them in my ear, how to adjust the sound and refused to let me leave the office until was 1,000% happy. I can honestly tell you that I am, and if that’s not enough you can ask my kids. If they’re talking to me again that means they’re happy too. My hearing aids have helped me at work as a teacher as well. The first thing my students ask me every morning is if I’m wearing my hearing aids. If I am, I get a star on my chart. I like stars. They make me happy, and when I’m happy, everyone’s happy. So if you can’t hear, do yourself a favor, make an appointment and get some hearing aids. Life is so much better when you can actually hear it.”

“Dr. Motechin has been my audiologist for four years and has fitted me for two different pairs of hearing aids after determining that I did have need for the devices. He offered me sources to learn about my hearing issues and how I might address them and afforded me all the time and attention I needed to learn about my choices. During this year, he introduced me to the newest technology aids that work seamlessly with my iPhone and have allowed me to tune my hearing to the various environments where I work and interact with others. When I’ve had issues, he’s been readily available to me. We’ve always resolved any difficulties, and I’ve not been nickled and dimed. I think highly of Dr. Motechin as a professional and specialist and recommend him to anyone looking for assistance in addressing their hearing issues.”
~ Steven J. Davidson, MD, Emergency Medicine
“I have worked with Stuart Motechin for the past 10 years. He is an excellent audiologist. He is very thoughtful, thorough, and knowledgeable. If anyone knows hearing aids, it’s certainly Dr. Motechin.”
~ Alina Tselniker, PA-C, Otolaryngology, PA
“I have been wearing hearing aids for almost 10 years. I started with the type that were completely in the canal. My hearing improved, but it was not great. Dr. Motechin prescribed the Starkey Halo hearing aids for me last year, and the difference was incredible. Not only is the sound quality great, but the ability to have phone calls go directly to the hearing aids and the ability to control the sound quality by using an app on my phone is extremely satisfying. I can watch TV without blasting the volume on the set by adjusting the hearing aid volume. I can go to a restaurant and cut down the background noise, too. The Halo is an incredible device.
Thank you Stuart Motechin and Hearing Solutions of Long Island for making my transition from “hard of hearing” to hearing aids easier than I expected. Your ready availability and skill in resolving any problems that have arisen is greatly appreciated.”
~ Wally Bock, Kew Gardens, NY
