Testimonials

"I went to Dr. Donna Segal to get help for my tinnitus. I am currently doing the Sound Therapy program for my tinnitus. One of the results that I noticed from day one is that I am sleeping much better. Prior to seeing Donna I was taking a natural supplement to help produce serotonin. I could not sleep more than two or three hours at a time without the supplement. Many times, after waking up during the night I could not fall back to sleep. Since starting on the Sound Therapy program I have not taken the supplement at all. I am sleeping five to six hours a night before waking up! Like anyone with tinnitus may experience…the more tired you are, the worse the tinnitus.
I have also experienced tuning fork work from Dr. Segal. My first experience was a short tuning I received from her when attending one of her lectures. Prior to the tuning I have had a pain on the left side of my neck down to my shoulder for at least a few years. In the few years time I have had an enormous amount of massage therapy, bodywork, and chiropractic work to help with this discomfort. The only way I can describe the pain is it felt like a poison that ran from the shoulder to the neck and it got worse as the day went on. The work I received previously usually helped on a short term basis. During the first tuning I received from Donna, I had an emotional release. When I was driving home I realized that the “poison” was gone. It has been three months since that first tuning and the “poison” has not come back!
Dr. Donna Segal is a kind and intuitive person. I would recommend her whether you are looking for someone to help you with your audiology needs or for energy work."

"I have been listening to the first set of music for a little over a year. I listen while I sleep at night for between three to four hours almost every night using ear buds. The reason I started was because of a hearing loss in my left ear for as long as I can remember. I had a severe ear infection when I was six years old and I always assumed that was the cause. I have also always had the problem of hearing people talk in large groups. All the voices blended together and I could not make out what anyone was saying. As a physician I also have had problems discerning the intricate parts of heart murmurs through a stethoscope.
I can now say that I feel more comfortable in large groups because I can make out what people are saying much better. I can also hear the birds sing their songs in the woods much better. While listening on the telephone I now find myself using either ear whereas before I would only use my right ear. My hearing testing with Donna also shows significant improvement in my right ear and some improvement in my left ear.
I will soon start listening to the second series of CD's to see how much more improvement is possible. At first listening to the music was a little irritating but soon after starting the program it became a pleasure to listen and the brain seems to get use to the added sounds in the music to a point where you don't even notice them. My intention is to listen to the second series for a year and get retested."

"I have suffered with hearing loss and tinnitus since 1995. I tried everything there is to try in the past to help the tinnitus and found no relief. I began sound therapy on October 4th, 2007. Since that day, I have faithfully listening to the basic kit for a minimum of 3 hours a day. The tinnitus is hardly noticeable anymore during the day. And I have no trouble going to sleep at night. If the tinnitus wakes me up too early in the morning, I simply put my headphones on and am usually able to go back to sleep. My last visit to the Otologist showed no further hearing loss since my previous audiogram, 2 years prior. My husband use to talk about us in our rockers at 80 and I would just cringe because I could not imagine living with tinnitus for 26 more years. Because of sound therapy, I feel like I have my life back and I look forward to a long life with my husband. I am handling stress better than ever and the sadness that I had experienced due to the tinnitus has lifted. My husband said he would be happy to write a testimonial of the progress that he has seen occur in me since October 4th. I plan on using the basic kit for a few more months and then progressing to the Hearing Kit. I feel 100% positive that I will get some hearing improvement from it because believing is receiving. A great big thanks to Donna Segal, she has truly been a blessing. I welcome anyone to email me if you have questions about my experience with Sound Therapy. I will be happy to communicate with you."

"Donna Segal and Perception Plus has helped me in a lot of ways. Before all of this I had no one to help me with my sound sensitivity. My life is so much better, the nutrients and the Tomatis sound therapy, has been so beneficial. Thank you."

"Dr. Segal is an extremely knowledgeable professional who blends conventional and natural, complementary treatments in a unique way, bridging the two worlds with grace. Her guidance with nutrition, vitamins, minerals and supplements are invaluable as well as her perspective on lifestyle changes. She is dedicated to health and wellness on all levels; seeing audiology and hearing as just one part of the equation, she encourages her patients to see their hearing issues as symptoms of their health challenges, and hearing as part of their whole being."

"I have suffered with tinnitus for many years. The intensity varies from day to day, but on the worst days, mine is totally debilitating. It causes migraine headaches, and sends me to bed in a dark room. Like many of you, I have been to numerous ENTs. I've tried hearing aids, maskers, and way too many over the counter and internet remedies, with no relief. This is very depressing and stressful, which only makes the tinnitus worse. I was in a downward cycle. I was miserable, depressed, and I felt completely hopeless.
Then, I found Dr. Segal and learned about the Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment. And yes, just like you, I had been through so many treatments before, I was skeptical. But, I wanted to learn more, so I scheduled a consultation appointment. Dr. Segal conducted a very thorough audiology test that would be used to customize the Neuromonics device to my particular needs. Also during this consultation, I tried a demo model of the Neuromonics device. To my amazement, I found immediate, noticeable relief. I was able to continue normal conversation while using the device, and actually could not hear the tinnitus! And this device was not "tuned" to my needs.
I decided to pursue the Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment, and have been using the device customized for my needs. After the first few weeks of using the treatment, I was very pleased. I still have tinnitus, (and always will), but on most days, I already do not notice it as much. And when I do have a bad day, I know I can listen to the Neuromonics device and get immediate relief. That is comforting, because I am no longer dealing with a hopeless situation. And that makes all the difference."
