My name is Alan. I am 71 years old and retired after a career flying loud Air Force aircraft—a career I was proud of, but one that ultimately cost me my hearing. For years, I lived with profound hearing loss. After exhausting every option with the Department of Defense and VA audiologists, I finally gave up. I withdrew from people, from conversation, from life itself, and became isolated in a world of silence.
Years later, everything changed when I walked into the office of Dr. Sarah Montero.
Dr. Montero fitted me with the latest Oticon technology, but what truly restored me was not just the equipment—it was her. With extraordinary patience, compassion, and expertise, she treated me not as a case, but as a person who had lost hope. She listened when others hadn’t. She understood what silence had taken from me.
The bottom line is this: Dr. Montero gave me my hearing back—and with it, my life.
She is exceptionally knowledgeable, genuinely caring, and deeply committed to helping people like me who believe they’ve reached the end of the road. Her professionalism is matched by a rare personal touch that cannot be taught or manufactured.
If you are struggling with hearing loss—especially if you feel defeated—I cannot recommend Dr. Montero strongly enough. Give her a chance. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
