Sound sensitivity is more than just an annoyance; it's a real and challenging condition that impacts everyday life.  

As someone deeply committed to the field of audiology, I have spent over 40 years helping patients like you find relief from the burdens of sound sensitivity, especially misophonia. 

At AVI New England, you won’t just receive clinical solutions; you benefit from compassionate care and understanding. If you’re looking for long-lasting relief from your sound sensitivities, you’ve come to the right team. 

What Is Sound Sensitivity? 

Sound sensitivity manifests in several conditions, each affecting people uniquely. 

This involves a heightened discomfort or even pain from sounds that don't bother others, making everyday environments often unbearable. 

Known for triggering emotional reactions to specific sounds, such as chewing or tapping, this condition is more than irritation; it's a recognized auditory issue that demands attention. 

This is an intense fear of certain sounds, often linked to past trauma or anxiety, representing a profound challenge to those affected. 

Understanding these conditions as genuine and valid audio-medical issues is crucial to beginning a journey toward relief. 

Common Symptoms and Everyday Impact 

Living with sound sensitivity can heavily impact your daily life. You might find crowded venues like restaurants too overwhelming or even avoid social gatherings for fear of triggering sounds.  

The mental and emotional toll is real, affecting relationships and work life by causing irritability, fatigue, or anxiety.  

You are not alone in facing these challenges, and help is within reach. 

The AVI New England Approach to Treatment 

Our approach is rooted in collaboration and education. Your treatment plan will be personalized and tailor-made to match your unique lifestyle and specific condition.  

Personalized care ensures that your solutions are not just effective, but also harmonious with your everyday life. Together with your hearing health expert, a plan is crafted that suits your needs, empowering you with knowledge and support as you address your sound sensitivities. 

Why Professional Expertise Matters 

As an experienced audiologist, my career has been dedicated to addressing sound sensitivity and other auditory challenges. Throughout my four decades in practice, I’ve pioneered several treatment methods that have been globally recognized for their effectiveness.  

My passion is fueled by the transformative outcomes I've witnessed in the lives of thousands of patients. With each case, my purpose remains clear: to provide expert care that is both innovative and deeply compassionate. 

Take the First Step Toward Relief 

Sound sensitivity is a condition you can manage with the right support and treatment.

My goal as an expert in managing sound sensitivities is to bring comfort, peace, and joy back into your life through professional care.  

Let’s work together to navigate this journey toward a quieter, more comfortable existence! 

If sound sensitivity is a barrier to your happiness, contact us today to get started. With expert care and decades of experience, you are offered not just treatment, but understanding and encouragement as you move toward relief.
