APD & Sound Sensitivity Experts for Rochester.
If you're in Rochester or the wider Finger Lakes region and tinnitus, sound sensitivity, or auditory processing disorder is making daily life harder than it should be, you have more options than you've been told. Auditory Pathway is telehealth-first, requires no referral, and connects you with an audiologist who focuses on these conditions every working day.
The Reality of Specialist Care in Rochester
Rochester is known for strong healthcare and research institutions, but adults with tinnitus, hyperacusis, misophonia, or APD can still wait a long time for an answer that fits. Most local audiology is built around hearing aids and routine assessments. For many people in Rochester, Brighton, Greece, and Henrietta, the story is familiar: a normal hearing test, a long wait for a referral, and the sense that this is simply something to manage. Auditory Pathway is licensed across New York State, bringing a specialist evaluation, a personalized plan, and one-on-one support to your home, with no referral required.

Five specialized pathways
for the conditions
most clinics overlook.

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.
