“I’ve dealt with Tinnitus for almost 3 years before I decided to visit Hearing Evaluation services. Working with Alina Swierski Au.D was exactly what I needed. She explained everything in detail and has been extremely patient with me. Both Alina and Gabriella up front are super friendly. In January 2021 I ordered my hearing aids. After a few follow up appointments I am finally free of tinnitus and am able to enjoy being involved in conversations again with my family”
