You don't specify where you are in NY, so I can't give more specific suggestions than these. I'm assuming you're in the city, which has a VAST amount of resources, so which boro you're in would help us help you. Whichever Audiologist you consult should have additional resources for you.

New York League for the Hard of Hearing has Audiology and Hearing Aid services, as well as job placement. The links page will help you find programs closer to you, including colleges and universities that may offer lower fee services.
Lexington School for the Deaf (my web search turned up bad links)
Look in the phone book or call information – the school has a long history and will likely offer sign language classes, and may also have hearing tests and services.
