Read His Story

Tony - In his 20’s, Tony was playing guitar in a rock band and assumed that his hearing loss was due to exposure to loud music. By his mid-30s, Tony’s hearing had deteriorated and became a concern. He was a surfer, living in Hawaii, and assumed that increased hearing loss was a result of chronic “surfer’s ear” - a condition of the ear canal where lumps develop on the bony lining under the skin, eventually causing blockage of the ear canal. <Read More>
