Meet Sally – Tinnitus Disrupted Her Sleep, Focus, and Even Eating Habits, But Treatment Brought Relief
I came to Hope Hearing and Tinnitus Center about eight months ago for tinnitus symptoms. At first, it wasn’t very disruptive, but within a few weeks, the ringing grew louder, making it difficult for me to function. My sleep, focus, and even eating habits were impacted, and the anxiety it caused became overwhelming.
Specialized Care That Goes Beyond Standard ENT Treatment
I had initially visited an ENT where they had an audiologist who started me on sound therapy, but they weren’t specialized in tinnitus treatment. A friend of mine saw a commercial for Hope Hearing and Tinnitus Center and recommended them to me.
When I came in, I was immediately greeted warmly and felt validated about the anxiety and symptoms I was experiencing. Before booking my appointment, I had checked their website and read reviews, which were very promising. I called, scheduled an appointment, and got in quickly.
During my appointment, I met with Dr. Mary Allen, who gave me her full attention and shared her knowledge. She listened to everything I was going through, validated my feelings, and made me feel comfortable despite how abnormal the situation felt for me. Her encouragement helped me feel confident in starting the treatment process.
Significant Improvement and Support Every Step of the Way
Within 3–4 months, I began to feel noticeably better. The tinnitus was no longer a constant distraction, and now I even have days where I don’t hear it at all. The improvement has been incredible.
Everyone I’ve interacted with here has been amazing. They never make you feel rushed, and they’re always welcoming. Dr. Mary Allen was especially patient with me, ensuring I felt comfortable and confident in my decisions throughout the process. Overall, my experience has been excellent.
