What if???… By Dr. Richard Reikowski, Au.D Family Hearing and Balance Center

For those with hearing loss… What if you could enjoy conversation in restaurants, hear your spouse from behind, understand what is said during the homily at church services, hear over the phone with such clarity that it’s hard to imagine…What if?

For those with balance and dizziness issues… What if you could understand the cause of your unbalance or dizziness, gain more independence while walking with more confidence, you could get up from your chair or out of your bed with feelings not to fall…What if?

For those with tinnitus… What if you understood the reasons for the ringing in your ears, felt better about the sounds and had solutions to offer a reduction of the tinnitus, or even the chance that the ringing or tinnitus is not having a negative affect on your quality of life…What if?

For those with misophonia… What if you found a way to reduce the sounds around you that cause concern or fear, you could lessen the annoyance of everyday life or work sounds, you could find solutions to manage the way sounds affect you. What if?

It’s with great interest and a clinical mindset that we do our best to help with each of these concerns. Our Audiology practice is based on being a part of the medical community to help people to have a better quality of life with others and their world.

    Having the hearing loss, as well as the tinnitus that is described here, I know the answers to the “what ifs”
    It is freeing and better, and engaging. As I sat in a crowded room and could follow the conversation, and first realized that I went to sleep without the TV because my tinnitus was so loud, I thought about what a wonderful improvement this practice has brought to my life.
