Are you hearing ringing, buzzing, or roaring sounds in your ears?
It is always a good idea to get your tinnitus checked out; especially, if it is occurring suddenly, loudly, bothersome, pulsating, and/or in only one ear.
For about 12.5 million Americans, the ringing in their ears never goes away, threatening their quality of life and interrupting their lifestyle.
Ask yourself the following questions:
Does my tinnitus frustrate me in a quiet room?
Does my tinnitus keep me awake at night?
Is it hard to focus on tasks because my tinnitus overwhelms me?
If you answered yes to these questions and your tinnitus is getting worse, there is a tinnitus specialist near you in San Antonio, TX who is eager to help you find relief.
Dr. Abby Crank
Abby grew up in northeast Texas. She finished her undergraduate studies at Texas Tech before continuing her education at the University of Texas at Dallas for her master’s degree.
Working in the medical field has always interested Abby. She grew up with hearing loss and has family members who also have hearing loss, so audiology felt like a natural fit. When she started pursuing her degree, she knew it was the right career decision.
Abby’s daily responsibilities at Audicles include performing hearing assessments, fittings and adjustments, ear cleanings, and anything else she can do to assist her patients with their hearing loss and/or tinnitus. Helping patients enhance their communication with their loved ones and reach their goals by using best practices/patient-centered care is a truly rewarding experience for her.
In her spare time, Abby enjoys indoor wall climbing and baking, but what she loves most is spending time with her wonderful family.
