The desire to have a baby is one of life’s most important and exciting decisions. Here at the Ronald O. Perel-man and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine we help make that dream a reality for thousands of couples every year.

At CRM, we have been helping women get pregnant for over two de-cades. Many of the procedures that are now routine around the world – IVF, donor egg, ICSI, TESE, PGD – were either wholly or partly developed by our doctors. We have trained many of the world’s leading fertility research-ers and physicians. And at CRM we work hard every day to make our pro-cedures less invasive and more suc-cessful for you.

For anyone hoping to have a baby, infertility can be a difficult challenge. To be successful, it is essential that ev-ery couple choose the best available medical care to meet their individual needs. All of the most advanced treat-ment options to help you have a baby are available here at CRM. In addition, we offer confidential counseling for individuals, couples and groups. We care for your mind, body and spirit.

Our expertise and vast resources

enable us to provide to you the most effective and latest procedures and technologies available in infertility treatment today. We are proud to be affiliated with Weill Cornell Medical College, world-renowned for its com-mitment to the highest academic and scientific standards in patient care and biomedical research. Our suc-cess rates are among the highest in the world.

Choosing the best center for your treatment is an important and chal-lenging decision. With unmatched experience, compassion and skill, we are ready to help make your dream of a baby come true.

heaRxHelp the one you love come to terms with their

hearing loss.Acknowledging hearing loss begins with complex

reactions, but the most common one is denial. There are many reasons why people have denial. Taking that first step to get a hearing test may confirm their worst fear – that they do have a hearing loss.

Hearing loss often progresses slowly. People don’t realize what they are missing in conversations and how many sounds they no longer hear. It is a known fact that it takes about 7 years for someone to acknowledge hearing loss. They may hear well in some situations – good acoustics, quiet atmosphere without background noise, one-on-one conversa-tions with a familiar person. Denial can be a tricky thing when that person uses it as a defense mecha-nism: everyone else has the problem – the world “mumbles”! But most of the time denial goes back to our society’s historical “taboo” of aging.

To help your loved one move beyond denial - don’t push too hard. If the TV volume becomes too loud, look into assistive listening devices for TVs. Find a phone or handset with stronger volume con-trol if they are missing phone calls. If they can’t hear the door bell, alarm clock or smoke alarm, look into visual/vibrating alerting systems. Use safety as the motivator to get them to consider taking that hear-ing test.

It is important to know the other reasons for making them take a hearing test. Long term un-checked hearing loss can cause auditory deprivation

(a condition that results in the brain “forgetting” how to hear and understand speech). 95% of people with hearing loss can be treated with hearing aids. Nine out of ten hearing aid users report improve-ments in quality of life.

At HEARx, our trained professionals can provide the proper testing to determine hearing loss. With over 25 locations in NY and NJ, and over 175 in the US, HearUSA/HEARx is the administrator of the AARP Hearing Care program www.hearusa.com/corporate/aarp, designed to help millions of Ameri-cans aged 50+ who have hearing loss.
