Alison Rigby

First Avenue near Murray Hill moves at a steady clip, with medical offices tucked into pre-war walk-ups. One of them is Alison Rigby, an audiologist practice handling hearing tests, custom ear protection, tinnitus evaluations, and hearing-aid fittings. They also offer wax removal and assistive-listening-device consultations—quiet work that fits the building’s low-key rhythm.

Finding the entrance can feel like a scavenger hunt; look for the unassuming door at 530 1st Ave #3e, just steps from the FDR service road. The third-floor suite is a short elevator ride up, where the focus stays on sound rather than scenery. Patients typically schedule diagnostic audiograms, real-ear measurements, and repairs, all without fanfare.

Directions are easiest pulled from the map. For appointments or questions, call (212) 263-7349.
