So Many Audiologists Believe Nothing Can Be Done. They Are Wrong.

Beth Alberto knows tinnitus from both sides of the audiologist's desk. When she developed tinnitus during a two-year chemotherapy regimen for breast cancer, she refused to accept the conventional wisdom that nothing could be done. As an audiologist, she knew better — there had to be something.

She did her research, took a course on Tinnitus Retraining Therapy at Emory University, and in 2000 became one of the first audiologists in the country to work with Neuromonics. She hasn't stopped since. Because it works.

Most of my tinnitus patients come to me in tears. They are desperate. I can help them — help them keep their jobs, be good parents, regain their lives — with Neuromonics.

The Patient Who Arrived in Tears

Among all the success stories Beth has accumulated over 25 years, one stands out for its profound humanity. A woman in her mid-sixties arrived at Beth's practice in poor physical shape — visibly distressed, desperate, and dismissed by every other professional she had seen. Her tinnitus was so severe that other clinicians had concluded she was mentally ill. No one believed the tinnitus was real.

Beth believed her immediately. During the initial assessment, she measured a Tinnitus Reaction Questionnaire score of 97 — at the extreme upper end of the scale. The patient was, Beth feared, at risk of suicide.

That morning, Beth fitted the patient with a Neuromonics Sanctuary device — not yet for full treatment, but as an immediate escape mechanism while she completed a comprehensive assessment. The effect was almost immediate.

I told her I believed her with her tinnitus. So I fitted her with a Neuromonics Sanctuary device on her that morning. The intent was to provide an escape mechanism — some immediate relief. But she relaxed immediately with the Sanctuary. She had peace at last.

Combined with psychological support from a partner psychologist, the patient continued to improve. Within two months, her TRQ score dropped from 97 to the 30s. She had gone from crisis-level distress to meaningful daily peace.

Six months after starting treatment, the patient died — her other physical conditions claiming her life. But her husband called Beth to tell her that those last months had been the most peaceful his wife had experienced in years. She had passed away listening to the sounds of the Neuromonics Sanctuary.
