APD & Sound Sensitivity Experts for Buffalo.
If you're in Buffalo or anywhere across Western New York and have been living with tinnitus, sound sensitivity, or auditory processing disorder that no one has properly addressed, there is a specialist path forward. Auditory Pathway is telehealth-first, requires no referral, and brings full specialist care to your home, whatever the weather is doing outside.
Where the Buffalo Model Comes Home
Buffalo holds a special place in auditory processing care. The Buffalo Model of auditory training was developed at the University at Buffalo, where Dr. Lepore also completed her undergraduate studies. Even so, adults across Western New York with APD, tinnitus, misophonia, or hyperacusis often find that local options are built around hearing aids and routine testing rather than these conditions. Add long winters and drives in from Amherst, Cheektowaga, or the Southtowns, and appointments become hard to keep. Auditory Pathway is licensed throughout New York State and delivers comprehensive evaluations, CBT-based management, and Buffalo Model auditory training entirely over telehealth.

Five specialized pathways
for the conditions
most clinics overlook.
Every program begins with a real evaluation, and not a five-minute screen. Each links to a dedicated page where you can explore what to expect, how it works, and what it costs.
From clinic frustration to a practice that actually listens.
For most of her clinical career, Dr. Kaitlyn Lepore watched the same scene repeat itself. A patient walks in describing real, life-altering symptoms, such as a ringing that won't stop, sounds that feel physically painful, conversations that scramble in noisy rooms. The hearing test runs for ten minutes, the audiogram comes back roughly normal, and the patient is sent home with nothing more than "there's nothing more we can do."
“The line we kept giving people was that the test was clear, so there wasn’t much to do. That was never true. We just weren’t set up to test the right thing or to spend the time treating it.” — Dr. Lepore
Auditory Pathway was built on the understanding that hearing healthcare is about more than devices, and that too many people are living with conditions that can be genuinely improved. It was built to be the practice that appointment should have led to. Because the patients sent home with nothing weren't out of options. They were just in the wrong room.
