Live Better Hearing + Balance

Early risers and people who work late have an easier time at the Rockville office of Live Better Hearing + Balance, where Dr. Allison Heuber Blackmon offers 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM appointments Monday through Thursday. She came to the clinic from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, bringing deep experience with complex hearing tests. Dr. Danielle Schopf also sees patients here, from toddlers to people in their 90s.

For ringing or buzzing in the ears, the audiologists look for the cause first, then suggest a plan. Options named by the practice include Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), which pairs sound with counseling so your brain slowly learns to ignore the noise, and sound therapy, which uses gentle background sound for relief. Hearing aids with masking features are another path. The clinic is in White Flint Medical Center with free parking in front and back. To book, call 301-468-3977 or visit 11119 Rockville Pike, Suite 210, Rockville, MD 20852.
