Dr. Anum K. Khan
“I was raised in an environment where my family members faced challenges related to their hearing, speech, and vision—all of these significantly impacted their ability to communicate effectively. Communication is a fundamental aspect of human existence, as it forms the foundation of our relationships with family, friends, and colleagues and greatly influences our brain health and overall quality of life.”
Dr. Anum Khan was raised in Dallas; she received her bachelor of science in speech and hearing sciences and doctorate in audiology degrees from the University of Texas at Dallas. She completed her one-year externship at the Callier Center for Communication Disorders. Prior to joining Holland Hearing Center in Abilene, Dr. Khan dedicated seven years of her professional career to serving the Dallas community, where she recognized the growing demand for hearing care services in smaller cities. Dr. Khan is committed to providing compassionate and personalized hearing care by offering counseling, education, and support to individuals and families dealing with hearing loss.
Furthermore, Dr. Khan acknowledges the prevailing issue of loneliness and isolation, as highlighted by US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. In light of the current technological advancements and societal trends, Dr. Khan aims to combat this epidemic by enhancing communication between individuals and between different generations.

Abilene’s Most Trusted Tinnitus Experts—Additions
Tinnitus is a condition where someone hears sounds in their ears that aren’t produced amid their surroundings.
While some hear classic ringing noises, others witness buzzing or static sounds. These are often unique to individuals and match the pitch where their hearing loss is most acute. Some people’s tinnitus is mild and intermittent. But others struggle with the condition over a lifetime, finding it a burden on their work and social lives.
In general, tinnitus worsens when those with the condition become conscious of it. The stress caused by the ringing sensation can produce a range of side effects, including anxiety, depression, and anger. Tinnitus may also make other noises appear louder, increasing a person’s sensitivity to their hearing problem. Both these issues can further exacerbate someone’s symptoms.
For many years, doctors of audiology lacked the understanding to help patients with tinnitus. But now, scientific research in this field has advanced dramatically. Holland Hearing Center can now offer patients a range of excellent, proven treatment options.
How Do We Treat Tinnitus?
Sadly, like many hearing conditions, there is no essential cure for tinnitus. But we can relieve its symptoms and greatly improve a person’s quality of life with alternative treatments. Some may find these more effective than others.
The doctors of audiology at Holland Hearing work closely with patients to decide how best to aid their individual conditions. Some of the options at our disposal include:
- Hearing aids: These can correct a person’s hearing loss and reduce their tinnitus.
- Sound maskers: These diminish ringing sounds and decrease the individual’s awareness.
