Janet’s Story
I love my job as a first-grade teacher. In 30 seconds, my life changed when I had a headache that was unbelievable. Two days later, I found out that I had a sudden hearing loss in the right ear and then the ringing. That loud, annoying ringing in my ears was so hard to take. The doctor put me on steroids and then told me to live with the ringing. I couldn’t stand it. I saw a tinnitus specialist and she suggested Neuromonics. I had to do something.
After nine months of using the Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment, I got my life back and I am loving my job even more. I find it easier to concentrate at my job and can sleep through the night.
I have control of tinnitus and it does not have control of me!

“Even my wife’s voice became painful to me,” said Tave. “I found myself asking her to “shoosh” frequently. That’s not good for a marriage! We’ve been married almost 52 years and want to keep going. It was my wife who prompted me to seek help.”
