Dear Dr. Wazen
I will be forever grateful to the Silverstein Institute of Sarasota/Venice. Before my ear surgery for Hyperacusis, I would hardly leave my home because loud noises such as train whistles, babies crying, doors slamming, etc. would make my ears and head hurt so bad I would instantly cover my ears to avoid the noises. I had stopped socializing with friends. Restaurants were definitely out of the picture.

After my surgery I am a different person. I can hear on the telephone much better. I do not have to have a special speaker beside me to watch television and I no longer have to wear ear plugs in public.
I have my life back. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift.
