APD & Sound Sensitivity Experts for Silver Spring.
If you're in Silver Spring or elsewhere in Montgomery County and tinnitus, sound sensitivity, or auditory processing disorder is making work and home life harder, you don't need to sit in Beltway traffic to see a specialist. Auditory Pathway is telehealth-first, requires no referral, and brings focused care directly to your home.
Specialist Care Without the Commute
Silver Spring sits in one of the busiest corridors in the region, with audiology clinics close by in Bethesda, Rockville, Wheaton, and Takoma Park. Close by isn't the same as specialized, though. Most local clinics focus on hearing aids and routine testing, and adults with APD, tinnitus, misophonia, or hyperacusis can spend months moving between appointments without a plan. For people balancing long commutes and demanding jobs, every extra trip adds up. Auditory Pathway is licensed across Maryland, so you can get a comprehensive evaluation and ongoing support over telehealth, on a schedule that fits around your week.
No Waitlist
No months between appointments. Book directly, no referral needed, and get started from home.
0 Commute
No Beltway or Red Line commute. Sessions fit into your day instead of taking it over.
100%
Of practice hours devoted to APD, tinnitus, and sound sensitivity, not squeezed between hearing aid appointments.
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.
