Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids are becoming more widely available, offering convenience and accessibility for many people with hearing concerns. However, it’s important to understand that not all hearing loss is the same—and proper evaluation is still essential before choosing a device.

Learn more about how to make informed decisions for your hearing health.

Convenience stores are great, but you should use caution buying over-the-counter hearing aids without help from a hearing specialist.

Not everyone will require earwax removal. There's a genetic component: your ancestors decide what type of earwax you produce. If you're lucky, you produce the perfect consistency of earwax at the perfect intervals that help to trap dust and debris and take it out of your ear, while keeping your ear lubricated.

But if you're unlucky, and your earwax starts to become more of an earplug, that's where we come in.

Not sure if wax is a problem for you? We can definitely help.

One piece of advice: STEP AWAY FROM THE COTTON SWABS. DO NOT PUT ANYTHING DOWN INTO YOUR EAR CANAL.

Tomorrow is national pet day! The purr of a content cat on your lap on a rainy afternoon, the excited bark of a dog as you play fetch for the hundredth time this week, the chirp of a bird patiently waiting for its food - pets are the best.

Pictured here is Amy, who belongs to Kim (our Doctor of Audiology). She is the sweetest fuzzy girl...just don't feed her after midnight. Feel free to share your pets in the comments below, we would LOVE to see them.

Muffled hearing doesn’t always mean permanent hearing loss. In many cases, the cause is something far more common and treatable: earwax buildup. A professional evaluation can quickly determine whether it’s a simple blockage or something that needs further testing.

Adjusting to new hearing aids takes time, and that’s completely normal. Training your brain to process sound in a different way is something that takes time. Many first-time users notice changes in comfort and sound at first. With increased use and support, patients adapt quickly.

Not everyone is a morning person. Some people need a little extra help to get out of bed in the morning.

Alarm clocks often use high pitched tones to alert, which are problematic when you have hearing loss that prevents you from hearing high pitches the way you should. Most people aren't wearing hearing aids to bed, so they can miss their cue to wake up on time.

What does a bedshaker alarm clock mean? Someone with hearing loss now FEELS the alert, instead of missing their alarm. Wake up plenty early for your appointments. No more missed work. Even the heaviest sleeping teenager can make it to school on time.
