“I came to these folks practically in tears over my out-of-control tinnitus three years ago. Since that time, I've been fitted with hearing aids specifically designed and programmed to help me notice it less. I also received a series of learning materials for me to work on it myself. Finally, I've gotten great care from both the providers--I'm currently working with Dr. Kelly Hanscom---and their support staff. (Shout out to Mary for her outstanding customer service!) There is no cure for tinnitus, but there are mitigation strategies that reduce its presence in your life. My experience at Sound Relief has been vital in that effort.”
