Dr. Rufina Yakubov is outstanding. She helped my mom with her hearing aids with incredible care, patience, and professionalism. She explained everything clearly and made sure my mom felt comfortable throughout the process.

I have worn hearing aids for over thirty years. I have had numerous audiologists. Dr Yakubov and her team at Fifth Avenue Hearing have been so wonderful I will go no place else. Not only has she guided me with the best aides ever, her follow up assistance has led me to the best hearing ever.
Product, service and patience with a sensitive subject. The Best.

After a bad flu left me with constant ringing in my ears, I visited Fifth Avenue Hearing in Manhattan. Dr. Rufa Yakubov gave me the most thorough hearing exam I’ve ever had, explained my results in detail, and set up thoughtful follow-up care. I felt confident, cared for, and never rushed.

I woke up with sudden hearing loss and my ENT told me to get a hearing exam right away and return within hours. I called several offices and hospitals in New York, but the earliest appointments were months away. When I called Fifth Avenue Hearing, they accommodated me immediately. I was seen within 30 minutes, tested thoroughly, and my results were explained clearly. My ENT received the full report the same day, which allowed me to start steroid treatment right away.
The office is busy, but they set their priorities right when it comes to emergency patients. Everyone was kind, professional, and even other patients in the waiting room spoke highly of Dr. Rufa Yakubov. This is hands down the best audiology practice in Manhattan , compassionate, efficient, and truly patient-focused.
I came in with a slight hearing loss and was so impressed with Dr. Rufina at Fifth Avenue Hearing. She reassured me that I don’t need hearing aids yet, but gave me a demo of advanced AI hearing aids so I could hear the difference. She recommended an annual hearing exam, and I never felt rushed—her care and expertise were outstanding. Truly the best audiologist in Manhattan, far beyond my expectations.
I was visiting New York City for a special family event when my hearing aids suddenly stopped working. In a panic, I called Fifth Avenue Hearing and Dr. Rufina Yakubov saw me the very morning. She tried to repair my old devices, but when it was clear they were beyond fixing, she fit me with advanced AI smart hearing aids on the spot.
That evening I attended the reception and, for the first time in years, I was able to hear everything clearly. My grandkids laughing, my daughter’s voice, and conversations all around me. It felt like a miracle. Dr. Yakubov didn’t just save my trip, she gave me back the joy of connection.
If you’re searching for the best audiologist in Manhattan or need urgent help with hearing loss, tinnitus, or broken hearing aids, I cannot recommend Fifth Avenue Hearing enough. The care, technology, and kindness here are truly unmatched.
I have been wearing hearing aids for more than 5 years - when we were living in Northern, NY and Ontario, CA. I was examined and followed by six different audiologists. They reviewed my medical history, tested my hearing, and provided me with two different hearing aids during this time. I believed I was getting very good care.
A new problem appeared three years ago. I was diagnosed with cognitive impairment and my memory has been steadily deteriorating since that time.
When I had my first appointment with Dr. Yakubov, she identified the problem with my ‘busted brain’ immediately. And she made the connection that would change how I feel. Right away she told me that hearing is the key to fighting problems with the brain, with memory. What I cannot hear is what I cannot remember. None of my previous six doctors had made that connection. I now believe it should be obvious. But I did not really recognize it before. By making this connection for me – Dr. Yakubov gave me new hope! A hope that better hearing could give me better memory. For someone in cognitive decline, this insight is so very important.
And then Dr. Yakubov went into her examination. She retested my hearing. She gave me new ‘bench-marks’. She provided me with a new ‘Starkey’ model hearing aid that is far superior to the hearing aid I had been using. And she spent much time with me to ‘teach’ me how to use it. And to teach my wife, my caretaker too. And she is an amazing teacher. She’s patient and very kind. She double checks the student to be sure he really understands. So very generous with her time. How often does one find this in medicine in US today?
My wife and I, we are both so very grateful we found Dr. Yakubov at Fifth Avenue Hearing. We are going back to her for a follow-up appointment next week. And we feel confident that she will be there to support us whenever we need help in the future.
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Rufa, one of the best audiologists in NYC. The office is immaculate and modern, and the staff was kind and professional. Dr. Yakubov gave me a very detailed hearing evaluation, offered a wide range of hearing aid styles, and made sure I felt informed every step of the way.
I was able to demo the hearing aids in-office, and I was honestly overwhelmed—it was the best I’ve heard in years. Her expertise and warmth are unmatched. Highly recommend!
My mother has been a patient of Dr. Yakubov for many years now, and has always received great care and customer service from Dr. Yakubov -- often accommodating her with a same/next day appointment if my mother is having issues (usually user error) with her hearing aids.
Finding the right hearing aid for my mom was a challenge, everything we tried elsewhere made background noise worse. She was frustrated and ready to give up.
Then we found Dr. Rufina Yakubov at Fifth Avenue Hearing on the Upper East Side, and everything changed. She gave us clear, professional advice and helped us choose a noise-reducing hearing aid that focuses on speech clarity and it finally worked.

The office is modern, clean, and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly professional. I was seen by Dr. Rufina Yakubov, who is not only a highly qualified audiologist in NYC, but also one of the most thorough and knowledgeable providers I’ve ever encountered.

She really took great care and effort to find what was wrong with my husband’s hearing. She also accommodated us with really soon appointment because my husband tinnitus was hurting his ears and came up with a solution for his hearing within the same appointment. We would recommend her services to anyone. She is the most caring doctor and it shows in the first 2 minutes you meet her. Thanks for all your help.
Dr. Yakubov is an excellent audiologist. She is very knowledgable, polite and communicates clearly. I strongly recommend Dr. Yakubov.
I am youngish ( 60 ) for hearing aids, but I had a hunch I did need them, which was confirmed with an audiologist test. I was very nervous and anxious about actually getting them. Thank goodness I found out about Rufina through a friend. Rufina put me at ease and took me through each step with professionalism, kindness and humor. It was a bit of a shock to first wear hearing aids, but Rufina made the experience not scary at all! It makes a world of difference to work with a doctor who is so competent, warm and engaged. I give my highest recommendation to Fifth Ave Hearing. Wearing hearing aids has 100 % improved my life. We are lucky to have access to such wonderful technology.
Very happy with the Service I received .
Like most people I admitted I needed hearing aids about five years late. I realized, with my wife’s help, that I was missing my daughter’s voice. That was almost 20 years ago. Since that time, I have struggled with my hearing loss as it has deteriorated from mild to profound. During that journey I have dealt with several audiologists of varying degrees of success until I met Rufina Yakubov. She is the most thorough, knowledgeable and thoughtful of the bunch. She has guided me though the frustrating steps of providing me with the best hearing aids and personalized programs to maximize my hearing ability. It is impossible for me to recommend her higher as she is the best I have ever encountered. Be assured that you are in the most competent hands available as she guides you through your own hearing loss journey.
Rufina Yakubov is a great audiologist. She fitted me with hearing aids that cured the ringing in my ears. My hearing aids are Bluetooth enabled, so I take and receive calls on my Iphone through my hearing aids, which is very convenient. Rufina is always available to answer questions.
I have been seeing audiologists for a long time, and Rufina is one of the most caring, efficient, and supportive professionals I’ve encountered. She was dedicated to finding the perfect hearing aid for my hearing loss, testing and re-testing until she achieved the best fit. I am so grateful to her for giving me back almost a new life

Dr. was super kind and incredibly helpful! Quickly fixed my hearing aid, ran a thorough hearing test and went over step by step how to properly maintain the device. Even helped me with my charger chord that had been giving me issue! Totally recommend!
This is a beautiful space. I felt very comfortable. I didn't wait. The hearing test was thorough. I didn't feel rushed.
Apprehensively, I came to see Dr Yakubov as I couldn’t hear my children clearly. I was very nervous and Dr. Yakubov made me feel very at ease immediately. My hearing test was done very professionally and with all I’m reading about dementia and hearing loss, I’m so glad I had my initial consultation. I look forward to working with Rufina to get the best out of my communication abilities. My children also thank her tremendously..
Love Rufina-
Upbeat, accessible and helpful. Her new office space is beautiful.
