Ever leave a night out with ringing in your ears? 🍹 Loud music isn’t the only culprit—alcohol can worsen tinnitus and affect your hearing over time. Learn more about the link and how to protect your ears:

Heading out to the Santa Claus Parade tomorrow?

Here's how we can make the most out of communication:

FOR FLOATS AND PARTICIPANTS:
- Consider using a light show instead of music, as music will contribute to an already difficult sound environment
- If you are using music, keep it at an audible but not overpowering volume
- If you're trying to communicate a message, use signs from your float to get your point across
- Light your float as well as you can to keep faces visible
- Consider use of hearing protection if playing instruments or using significantly amplified music

FOR SPECTATORS:
- Find a well lit stretch of street so you can see faces clearly and speech read to help with comprehension
- Keep your face clear - if you're wearing a scarf over your mouth, pull it down to speak to those around you
- Communicate to your friends/family if you need to find a quieter spot to enjoy the evening
- Consider earplugs if you are easily overwhelmed in noise
- Ask for repetitions or rephrasing if there's a miscommunication.

Such a complex sound environment is difficult for anyone, with or without hearing loss. As a community, we can all do our part to help eachother and support communication.

Enjoy, Sarnia!

Elevated risks for genetic hearing loss can be identified through genetic testing. Genes contributing to hearing loss can be passed to a child from one or both parents. Parents may be carriers of a gene mutation, even if the parents themselves may not experience hearing loss. Check out this video from SickKids Foundation for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptTDDM3MXZo

Research is suggesting that age related hearing loss (called presbycusis) can be influenced by genetics. A genetic risk score using common gene variants may be helpful in identifying those at higher risk of developing age related hearing loss. More research here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38782831/

Regular hearing assessments are important to identify trends and areas for intervention. Call 519 542 0569, message, or drop in to schedule your complimentary initial hearing screening.

Did you know that you could give the gift of hearing to someone you love? 🎁 Many people can benefit from gifted hearing aids that have been previously used, which can be refitted and reprogrammed to prescriptive settings for another person.

It's the time of year for giving, and if you have an old pair of hearing aids, you might be able to make someone's life just a little better.

It's extremely difficult to understand what hearing loss is like if you've never experienced it. Often, hearing loss causes a decline in clarity of speech and sounds.
Solving the problem may not be simple. It's like a radio station that's slightly out of tune; turning up the overall volume isn't going to make the voices sound crystal clear.

Prescriptive hearing aids address the lack of clarity by meeting what you need where you need it.

If this sounds familiar, call 519 542 0569, message, or drop in to discuss scheduling a hearing consultation.

We're here to help YOU hear better.

Struggling to come up with a great gift for someone who has everything? Custom hearing protection may be your answer. Use with powertools, lawn mowers, concerts, gun ranges, car races, and more!

To order, we require a consultation appointment. Given that these are custom devices, we need to be able to show our manufacturer exactly what the ears look like for well fitting custom earplugs. Book your loved one a consultation prior to Christmas, or we can provide a gift certificate for custom earplugs if you're looking to surprise your loved one on Christmas morning.

The holidays are a time for connection—but background noise and crowded rooms can make conversations challenging for loved ones with hearing loss. 🎄✨

Tip: Choose seating with a clear view of everyone’s faces and avoid noisy areas. A little planning goes a long way toward meaningful conversation.

The holiday season is all about connecting with family and friends, but if you or a loved one has hearing loss, these gatherings can be challenging.
