Parents of athletes—this one’s for you.

A fall on the field. A hit on the court. Even with rest and clearance, concussions can leave kids with lingering issues like:
✅ Dizziness
✅ Headaches
✅ Trouble concentrating
✅ Balance problems

At East Coast Audiology and Physical Therapy, we take concussion recovery seriously—with real tools, real data, and real solutions.

Our posturography machine is a high-tech balance assessment tool that helps us pinpoint how a concussion has affected your child’s stability and sensory processing. This lets our physical therapists design a recovery plan that’s customized, safe, and effective—getting them back to class, sports, and life.

Better Hearing, Better Living!

Here's how:

📈 Boost Cognitive Function
Hearing aids reduce the strain on your brain, making it easier to process sounds and stay mentally sharp.

🤝 Reduce Social Isolation
Stay connected to loved ones and the world around you. Hearing aids help you engage in conversations and participate in activities you love.

🛡️ Help Prevent Dementia
Studies show that untreated hearing loss can increase the risk of cognitive decline. By addressing hearing loss early, you’re also protecting your brain health.

Take charge of your hearing and your health! Contact us at East Coast Audiology and Physical Therapy to schedule a hearing evaluation today.

Our Story

East Coast Audiology and Fyzical Therapy, DBA Watertown Audiology PC, is a medical practice. The Audiology practice was started in 1999 by Dr. Sarah Sugden, Au.D. In 2017, Physical Therapy was added under the guidance of Dr. Joel Grimshaw, PT, DPT. The purpose for combining Audiology and Physical Therapy is to provide a comprehensive treatment program for people with balance and vestibular problems while improving continuity of care. Our practice is unique as there are currently no other practices in NY state that offer Audiology and Physical therapy in the same physical location.

We have expanded our services to include orthopedic rehabilitation, women’s health, and pediatric physical therapy. To better serve the growing needs of our community, we opened an office in Fayetteville, NY in 2017 and Evans Mills (Fort Drum), NY in 2020. As we continue to grow, our mission is to provide high quality, personalized healthcare options to our patients in a time where personalized quality care seems to no longer exist. Our patients are our number one priority and we strive to meet each patient’s individual hearing and rehabilitation needs.
