October may bring indoor events, gatherings, and possibly some loud venues — so here’s how to keep your hearing safe:

🔈 Limit exposure: When possible, take breaks from loud spaces every 30–60 minutes.
🦻 Wear protection: Use custom ear plugs or noise protection — especially helpful if you’re in music, motorsport, or construction.
📱 Use apps wisely: Some sound meter apps help you estimate noise levels.
🎧 Set safe volumes: Keep personal audio devices under ~60% of max volume.
👂 Book wax checks: Excess wax can intensify loudness — keeping ears clear helps your natural protection.

If you’d like custom ear protection or advice tailored to your lifestyle, we’re just a call away.

Have you ever wondered how your ear turns sound into what you hear? Here’s a simplified journey:

Outer ear (pinna): Captures sound waves and funnels them into the ear canal

Ear canal & eardrum: The waves reach the eardrum and cause it to vibrate

Middle ear bones: These vibrations travel through tiny bones (ossicles)

Inner ear (cochlea): The vibrations turn into electrical signals

Auditory nerve: Sends signals to your brain, which “hears” the sound

When any part of this chain is disrupted (wax build-up, damage, ageing), hearing can be affected. That’s why comprehensive hearing assessments are so valuable — they help pinpoint where the change is happening.

University hearing challenges: 🏛️ Large lecture halls: Acoustics can be terrible
🎧 Constant headphone use: Study playlists, gaming, calls home
🍺 Noisy social environments: Student bars aren't known for quiet conversations
💤 All-nighters: Tiredness affects how we process sound

Warning signs for students:

🤖Struggling to hear lecturers clearly

🤖Asking flatmates to repeat things constantly

🤖Having music/TV louder than everyone else

🤖Feeling isolated in group conversations

🤖Ear pain from loud environments

Student-friendly solutions: ✅ Quick, affordable hearing checks

Let's talk about how hearing aids have had a proper glow-up! Forget everything you think you know about hearing aids from the 1990s:

Old hearing aids vs. Modern marvels:

❌ Then: Whistling, feedback, obvious
✅ Now: Virtually invisible, crystal clear sound

❌ Then: One-size-fits-all amplification
✅ Now: AI that learns your preferences

❌ Then: Batteries dying at awkward moments
✅ Now: Rechargeable with all-day power

❌ Then: Separate from your tech life
✅ Now: Bluetooth connects to phone, TV, everything!

The game-changer: Modern hearing aids can do things like: 🎵 Stream music directly from Spotify
📞 Take hands-free phone calls
🎯 Focus on voices while filtering background noise
📱 Adjust settings via smartphone app

Real talk: If you've been putting off hearing aids because of outdated assumptions, you're missing out on some seriously impressive tech.

As the leaves start falling and we dig out our cosy jumpers, spare a thought for your ears. Autumn brings its own hearing challenges:

September ear hazards: 🌧️ Rainy weather: More time indoors = more heating = dry ear canals
🤧 Back-to-school bugs: Kids bring home everything, including ear infections
🏠 Closed windows: Less air circulation can worsen tinnitus
🔥 Central heating: Dry air can make earwax harder and more stubborn

Autumn ear care tips: 💧 Stay hydrated (helps keep earwax soft)
🚿 Dry ears properly after showers
🤲 Wash hands frequently (prevent infections)
🌱 Consider a humidifier if your heating dries the air

Already having issues? Don't wait until winter makes everything worse. A quick check-up now can save you discomfort later.

Think of it as your autumn MOT for your ears - better to be prepared than sorry when the weather turns properly grim!

Summer's over and we're all settling back into the work grind. But here's a question - are you actually hearing everything you should be in meetings, calls, and conversations?

Signs your hearing might be holding you back at work: 📞 Struggling to hear clearly on phone calls
🗣️ Asking colleagues to repeat themselves
💻 Turning up Teams/Zoom volume to maximum
😅 Nodding along when you've missed what was said
🔇 Feeling exhausted after meetings (lip reading is tiring!)

The plot twist: Many think this is just "getting older" or "noisy offices." Actually, it's often something easily sortable!

From simple ear wax removal to hearing assessments, don't let hearing issues sabotage your career comeback. You've got enough on your plate without missing important information.

September special: Professional hearing assessments - because clear communication = career success.

As we head back into the autumn work routine, let's talk about protecting those ears at work! Many jobs put our hearing at risk without us realising:

High-risk jobs: 🏗️ Construction and manufacturing
✈️ Airport ground crew
🚗 Mechanics and engineers
🎵 Musicians and sound engineers
💈 Even hairdressers (those hairdryers add up!)

The problem: Workplace hearing damage is gradual. You won't notice it happening until it's too late.

The solution: Custom-made workplace ear protection from Audiology Plus:

Perfectly fitted to YOUR ears

Reduces harmful noise whilst keeping important sounds clear

Comfortable for all-day wear

Various options for different work environments

Employer benefits: Many companies don't realise they can reduce workplace injury claims by investing in proper hearing protection for staff.

Don't let your career cost you your hearing. Invest in protection that actually works - and feels comfortable all day long.
