Hearing Partners of South Florida

What Hearing Partners of South Florida does

Hearing Partners of South Florida is an independently owned, full-service audiology clinic founded in 1995 and operating three locations in Palm Beach County, Florida (Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and Jupiter). The practice employs approximately 17 staff including six Doctors of Audiology, two audiology assistants, and front/back-office and operations personnel, and is led by President and founder Dr. Nimet A. Adam, AuD, CCC-A. Core service offerings span comprehensive hearing evaluations, Real Ear Measurement (REM) verified hearing aid fittings, cerumen management, vestibular/balance diagnostics, speech-in-noise testing, cochlear implant assessments, and a tinnitus treatment program anchored by the FDA-approved Lenire bimodal neuromodulation device.

The practice carries a multi-brand prescription hearing aid portfolio across seven manufacturers (Oticon, Phonak, ReSound, Widex, Starkey, Signia, Unitron) plus the Lyric extended-wear device (Lyric Premier Elite status — top 30 in the U.S.) and Cochlear implant sound processors. Technical differentiation is anchored in REM verification on every fitting, in-house vestibular and cochlear implant capabilities, and specialty designations such as Lyric Premier Elite and Preferred Lenire Provider that big-box and online retailers do not match.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market through its three owned clinics, augmented by physician referrals (via a formal Referring Physicians program), a $25 patient referral credit, an embedded online hearing screener, and community/educational events. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) hardware sales of prescription hearing aids from multiple manufacturers; (2) a 36-month subscription/lease program priced from $63 to $113 per month bundling devices, service, warranty, and a 3-year technology upgrade path; and (3) professional audiology services including diagnostics, fittings, tinnitus management, and cerumen removal. Dr. Adam also founded the local 501(c)(3) Hearing the Call South Florida in 2019 and sits on the Board of Directors of the Entheos Cooperative, anchoring the practice within a global humanitarian audiology ecosystem.
