Even with normal hearing, tinnitus can severely disrupt your quality of life. But when hearing loss is also part of the equation, it can be utterly devastating. Here's how to feel better.
My experience wearing a CROS hearing aid to help with my single-sided deafness. Ultimately, I decided the device's disadvantages outweighed its advantages.
While a little bit of variation in hearing abilities between the ears is normal, "asymmetric" hearing loss could indicate an underlying medical condition. Learn more about uneven hearing loss between the ears.
Angelene H. Naro, Audiologist and owner, is licensed in the state of Alabama, holds certification from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and is a fellow of the American Academy of Audiology. She received her bachelor’s in Speech Pathology and Audiology from Auburn University, her master’s degree in Communication Disorders with an emphasis in Audiology from Auburn University, and completed her Clinical Fellowship at the University of Kentucky.
Angelene is a native of Butler County and is married with three children. She opened Naro Audiology and Hearing Solutions in October 2010 on the campus of D.W. McMillan Memorial Hospital, and with her comes years of experience that include a multi-physician ENT clinic, a university clinic, and satellite offices in remote areas.
It’s not the setting, however, that gives Angelene the motivation to do what she does: it’s the idea that improving a person’s hearing can change that person’s quality of life.

“My audiologist really is an expert! I have been to everyone to detect if I have hearing loss, many deny. The technology which enabled me to hear the birds sing, my pet's paws as they "pitter patter" through the house. My students no longer need to increase the volume on my television or radio. ”

“The audiologist, Angelene Hanks Naro, was very knowledgeable and answered my questions about the batteries, insertion of the hearing aids, how to care for them overnight, letting the hearing aids air dry. She was very positive and understanding and explained how the brain is involved with the hearing aids. She was excellent!”
