Happy Earth Day, a day we recognize our important role in environmental protection of our planet, as well as promoting conservation and demanding environmental reform.

Did you know that Audiology plays a role in reducing and re-using materials in treating their hearing loss? This has been largely due to the adoption of large-scale recharge ability of hearing aids and their accessories!

A single hearing aid user can now avoid disposing of over 100 batteries per year, reducing heavy metal pollution.

Convenience: Rechargeable models, allow users to dock hearing aids overnight, removing the need for frequent battery changes.

Sustainability: Less energy is consumed in the production and transport of fewer batteries.

Performance: Modern rechargeable hearing aids, offer high-density power and fast charging times, with 15-minute charges providing hours of use.

Accessories are often cellphones which are used for remote control function of hearing aids, as well as Bluetooth streaming. This has made cell phones perform yet another daily benefit, as well as greatly reducing the number of battery-operated remote controls!

Redux is a professional-grade moisture removal system that uses patented vacuum technology to completely dehydrate hearing aids.

Unlike standard dryers that use only heat or air, Redux lowers the boiling point of water via a vacuum to vaporize moisture safely at low temperatures.

How Redux Works

Vacuum Extraction: Pulls a vacuum to turn liquid moisture into gas, even deep inside internal components.

Humidity Monitoring: Built-in sensors track real-time humidity levels and only stop when 100% of the moisture is removed.

Verified Results: The system displays the exact amount of moisture removed (measured in microliters).

Safety: It is safe for all hearing aids, including rechargeable lithium-ion models, because it does not rely on damaging high heat.

If your hearing aid has not been working optimally, bring it in for an assessment through our Redux machine. The electrical components are definitely affected by moisture and humidity, and our ears and environments can sometimes provide the ‘perfect storm’ for this!

Located at both the Tecumseh and Walkerville offices!

Your hearing can take a hit before you even notice. Loud sounds damage tiny inner ear cells permanently. https://bit.ly/3O6lehM

Hearing loss isn’t always permanent. Sometimes it’s earwax, sometimes it’s noise exposure, but it’s worth getting checked.

Konstantina Stankovic, professor of otolaryngology at the Stanford School of Medicine, answers audience questions about a condition that affects 1.5 billion people – nearly 20% of the world’s population.

It was Parkinson’s awareness day this week - did you know there is association between this and hearing?

Key Findings on Parkinson’s and Hearing Loss

Commonality:
Hearing impairment is significantly more common in people with Parkinson’s than in those without, often presenting as high-frequency loss.

Early Sign:
Hearing issues can emerge years before formal Parkinson’s diagnosis.

Mechanism:
Dopamine, which helps modulate auditory nerve activity, is depleted in Parkinson’s. This shortage can damage the cochlea, causing reduced hearing capabilities.

Increased Risk:
Research suggests individuals with hearing loss face a higher risk (ranging from 1.5 to 1.77 times) of developing Parkinson’s disease compared to those without.

Impact of Treatment:
Using hearing aids early can significantly lower the risk of developing Parkinson’s, potentially by mitigating the impact of sensory deprivation on the brain.

Another good reason to be aware of certain brain diagnoses, along with its link to hearing loss.

Think cotton swabs are the right way to clean your ears? Think again. Many common habits can do more harm than good. Learn the ear cleaning mistakes to avoid and what to do instead.

Earwax should be removed only if it causes problems with hearing, ringing in the ears, or an earache. To unblock the wax, people can use an over-the-counter ear-cleaning treatment to flush it out. ...
