I have been noticing my hearing has been getting worse over time, especially my left ear. At work, I have a yearly hearing test, and this past year the nurse suggested I should have it checked further by a professional. I chose to go to Sondra Rierson. She was very knowledgeable, helpful and explained everything to me that I asked. From her testing she told me I likely had otosclerosis, which is a bone growth in my middle ear. Sondra suggested surgery, which I was hesitant about at first, but went ahead with it. My left ear can now hear better than my right ear! Thanks to Sondra for her knowledge and also pointing the way to a great surgeon.
