About Us

We have been serving our community for over 60 years.

Meet the Audiologist, Joseph Gullo

Universal Audiology and Hearing Center was originally founded by John P. Gullo, a man who wore hearing aids himself. His motto was “Consult one who wears one.” The way we see it, it must have been a good motto, because it led to a good business that has lasted for generations.

Today, our center is run by the third generation: Joseph A. Gullo II. Joseph follows in the footsteps of both his father and grandfather, serving the hearing needs of Western New York. As technology changes, Universal Audiology is positioned to be at the forefront of any advances and to provide our clients with the most appropriate hearing help.

With a degree in Audiology from the State University of New York at Fredonia, Joseph Gullo cares deeply about the hearing needs of his community and is happy to provide service to anyone in the area who needs it. If you’re experiencing a hearing problem—or think you may be—don’t hesitate; contact us today.
