When it comes to providing quality hearing health care there are few in South Florida who provide better service than Hear Again America’s Melanie Plotkin. As a Hearing Aid Specialist with over twenty years of experience in the industry and an unwavering dedication to her craft, Melanie promises only the highest standard of care to each of her patients.

If you’re currently experiencing hearing loss, are in need of a hearing aid, or are simply interested in a hearing evaluation then look no further, Hear Again America Surfside is the perfect location for you.

According to statistics from the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) over 48 million American’s have some degree of hearing loss, an estimated 50 million experience tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and only 1 in 5 people who would benefit from using a hearing aid actually uses one. Additionally, hearing loss has been associated with a significant decrease in overall quality of life, contributing to a decrease in physical health, emotional and mental health, and according to a 2020 Lancet commission report cited by the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, hearing loss is listed as one of the top risk factors for dementia. For this reason, it’s important to choose the right hearing professional for you.

What makes Melanie such a uniquely great candidate for this job is her outstanding knowledge of the field, her numerous years of experience, and above all, the profound kindness and empathy she demonstrates when taking care of her patients.

“I’m always available for my patients. If they call the clinic and no one is there then the call is transferred to my cell, so they’re always in touch. Whether an appointment can’t be made on time, or if they need assistance with their hearing device, or anything else relating to their hearing, I’m always there and available,” said Melanie.

This degree of attentiveness may seem rare in any industry but for Melanie, it’s the standard and patients should expect nothing less. Melanie first began her career working at Mount Sinai Medical Center on Miami Beach alongside Dr. Clifford Foster who at the time was the chief of otolaryngology. It was during this time that Melanie first began working with hearing evaluations which inspired her to further her career in the hearing health care industry.

“I love what I do. It makes your heart smile when you see a patient happy. I’m so glad to be in this industry, I wouldn’t change what I do for the world,” said Melanie.

As soon as you enter Hear Again America Surfside you’re immediately greeted by kind and receptive Patient Coordinator Claudia Lopez, whose winning smile and invitational attitude is sure to make you feel comfortable and at home.
