In June last year, Aubrey Hasley, then 22, began experiencing “really loud” ringing in her ears.
“It was pretty hard to ignore. It scared me for a few seconds,” Hasley, now 23, of the Chicago area, tells TODAY.com. “I describe it as like when a microphone gets too close to the speaker and makes that vibration noise.”
Then she felt a migraine coming on, but it didn’t feel like what she'd experienced in the past. As her symptoms intensified she visited the emergency room, and Hasley eventually learned that she'd had a stroke.
“I was definitely very scared and really hoping and praying for the best,” she says.
