Dr. Adam Sheppard

Dr. Adam Sheppard, Au.D., Ph.D., F-AAA, leads Ontario Hearing Center in Rochester, NY — bridging research, teaching, and clinical practice.

Every patient at Ontario Hearing Center is seen by a doctoral-level audiologist. No rushed appointments. No one-size-fits-all recommendations. Just careful diagnosis, honest guidance, and treatment plans built around the sounds and experiences that matter most in your life.

That standard starts at the top. Dr. Sheppard holds both a Doctor of Audiology and a Ph.D. in auditory neuroscience from the University at Buffalo, served on the faculty of UB's Doctor of Audiology program, and has authored more than 20 peer-reviewed publications on how the brain processes sound. He has also spent years supporting surgeons and audiologists on cochlear implant procedures throughout Upstate New York.

We've watched hearing technology evolve for decades, and we've evolved with it. What hasn't changed is our commitment to unhurried, personalized care — from a team with the credentials and experience to deliver the best possible outcomes.
