I have had a Eustachian Tube Dysfunction for over several months that my left ear has been clogged. So frustrating, at some points I've come to just accept it.
After-effects of the pandemic have resulted in a lot of medical professionals moving out of the area. Therefore it gets hard to find time to see specialists like an ENT, they are often booked out a month in advance. Then your ENT sends you to an audiologist and even that is a month further out!! Ahhhh!!! My friggin' ear is clogged, everything is muffled except for the deafening ringing silence of tinnitus. Can't hear my wife yelling to me from the front of the house when I'm in the back, can't quite hear my neighbor outside even though he's shouting to me over the fence.... I need help, this isn't normal!!
All praise to Alma who helped schedule a time. Yes, initially I had to book a month out in advance. And Alma is helpful in putting you on a waiting list in case anyone drops out. But if you are diligent and check in to see if anyone has canceled, then yes, success! They really do try to schedule you in earlier if it's possible. I mean no guarantees of course and I'm simply saying I highly, highly appreciate Alma's follow-up on scheduling me earlier when an opening became available.
I did not see Dr Ito, but Dr. Laura Jones instead. She was very thorough, checking and double, triple-checking. And then she was very patient and kind in explaining everything to me that I felt comfortable and could trust her expert care.
High applause and praise all around, thank you so, so much!!! read more
