“My tinnitus got to the point that I knew I needed to address it. I researched audiologists and thought Dr. Mitchell might be a good fit, and boy was I right. From Sara's first call to set up the appointment and actually getting in earlier due to a cancelation to my first appointment with Dr. Mitchell I was thoroughly impressed. Dr. Mitchell explained my tinnitus and hearing loss and offered different solutions for them and explained the costs and benefits of each. I left my first visit with a set of demo hearing aids, information on hearing and tinnitus and options to purchase my hearing aids. I can't wait for my next visit to continue my journey towards better hearing. ”

Our Core Values
To understand our practice, it is important to understand the principles we strive to emulate.
1. Be People-Centered
Our focus on the patient is a top priority, but this extends to our team here at Sound Relief as well. We are a family-owned and operated company, and we want everyone (patients and employees) that walks through our doors to feel that sense of compassion and family. We also encourage our people to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
One of the big advantages of Sound Relief is our ability to collaborate with the top minds in the field of audiology. Our audiologists regularly work together to help find the best outcome for each patient.
2. Be Integrity Driven
The Prutsmans are the owners and founders of Sound Relief, and they believe everything about the practice reflects on them and their family legacy. Based on that, they do everything in their power to ensure that the practice operates at the highest moral and ethical standards. From the interactions and relationships with patients, employees, vendors, and insurance companies, dedication to this core value is clearly a guiding principle every day.
Dr. Julie also serves on the board of the American Tinnitus Association. She believes her involvement will help further their mission and improve the lives of people suffering from tinnitus.
3. Be Innovative
The field of audiology is always evolving. In order to stay ahead of the curve, Sound Relief dedicates tremendous resources to evaluating new technology and treatment techniques, improving existing systems and processes internally, and creating new tools to improve the overall patient experience.
