Why Oakland Park Patients Choose Us
Most communities in northern Broward have at least one chain audiology clinic. Patients from Oakland Park drive past those to come to us for three specific reasons:
- Real-Ear Measurement on every hearing aid fitting. Most chain clinics skip this critical verification step. We never do.
- Unhurried, doctor-led visits. Every appointment is with Dr. Valerie Rossetti, Au.D. personally — not a rotating cast of staff.
- The 60-day satisfaction guarantee. If a hearing aid isn’t the right fit for your life, we make it right.
For Oakland Park residents who’ve had a frustrating experience with a chain clinic in the past — or who simply want professional, careful, doctor-led hearing care — we’re a short drive that’s consistently described as worth it.
Trusted by Oakland Park-Area Physicians
Multiple physicians serving the broader Oakland Park area refer their patients to Dr. Rossetti, including ophthalmologists at Lauderdale Eye Associates, Insight Eye Institute, and Aker Kasten Eye Center (Boca Raton), plus family physicians at Holy Cross Medical Group. Same-building referrals from James Lang, M.D. are common — Dr. Lang’s ophthalmology practice is in the same MedPlex building as our office.

Common Questions from Oakland Park Patients
How far is your office from Oakland Park?
Florida Hearing Matters is located at 4800 NE 20th Terrace, Suite 301C in Fort Lauderdale — about 5 miles from Oakland Park, typically 10-12 minutes by car depending on traffic and time of day. We’re inside MedPlex Building C, next to Holy Cross Hospital, with free patient parking on site.
Do I need a referral from my primary care doctor?
No referral is needed to schedule a hearing evaluation or any of our services. You can book directly online or by calling our office. If you have Medicare Advantage or a managed-care insurance plan, your specific plan may require referral — we can verify that for you when you call.
Do you accept Medicare?
Yes. We accept traditional Medicare for covered diagnostic services. Medicare doesn’t typically cover hearing aids themselves, but recent changes (including over-the-counter availability and some Medicare Advantage plan benefits) have expanded options. We’ll review your specific coverage during your consultation and explain the financial side clearly before any treatment.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring a photo ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications, and any prior hearing test results or audiograms if you have them. If you currently wear hearing aids, bring those too — even if they’re from a different provider or no longer working. Your completed intake forms will save time; we’ll send those to you electronically when you book.
