The Ear Institute at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE) recently celebrated its 10th anniversary of delivering safe, quality care to its patients. Leadership and staff enjoyed cake and cookies and took note of how the Ear Institute has continued to enhance its services. Recently, NYEE’s Hearing Aid Dispensary, and Hearing and Balance Testing departments were relocated to the Ear Institute.
The Ear Institute was created in 2008 when NYEE and Mount Sinai Beth Israel merged their Otology, Neurotology, and Cochlear Implant Centers to form a multispecialty institute. “The hospitals saw an opportunity to enhance their multispecialty and integrative care model by providing a place where physicians, audiologists, and other related professionals could collaborate and offer patients superior care,” James C. Tsai, MD, MBA, President of NYEE, said at the event.
