“I’ll deal with it later.”

It is very common for people to live with hearing loss for five years or more before they decide to seek help. During that time, many people adjust their routines without realizing it. They may stop participating in group conversations, avoid noisy restaurants, or rely on others to fill in the gaps. 🗣️

A helpful tip is to pay attention to the changes you have made in your daily life. If you notice yourself withdrawing or working harder just to keep up, a baseline hearing test can provide clarity and direction. Addressing hearing loss as soon as possible can make a significant difference in your quality of life. 💗

April Fools’ is all fun and games… unless you miss the joke.
Hearing well means more than just catching sounds. It means staying connected to conversations, laughter, and the moments that bring us together.
That’s no prank!

As we celebrate National Doctors’ Day, I’ve been reflecting on what it really means to do this work.

For me, every appointment is an hour dedicated to you.

In that time, I’m not just looking at numbers on a graph. I’m listening for the moments you might be missing. Like grandkids’ voices, dinner conversations, choir practice, quiet talks with your partner.

I became an audiologist because I’ve seen how deeply hearing shapes connection, confidence, and independence, especially as we age. It’s an honor to be invited into those stories and to help people stay engaged in the parts of life that matter most.

Thank you for trusting me with your hearing health, today and every day. 💙👂

With appreciation,
Dr. Lauren Esposito

⏳ Hearing aids don’t need to be replaced every year.

Most hearing aids last 3–7 years, and often longer with proper care. Consistent at-home cleaning and a few in-office tune-ups each year can help protect your investment and keep your devices working their best for years to come.

A little maintenance goes a long way. 👂💚

A patient told me, “I just avoid going out now. It is too loud anyway.” 😔

Restaurants are one of the first places people realize they are working way too hard to keep up. In difficult listening situations, your brain is straining to fill in missing words; it is exhausting.

I have felt that kind of fatigue in a noisy room, too. You can hear sound everywhere, but it still feels hard to follow the conversation that matters.

So when patients come in with this particular issue, we build a plan that focuses on clarity, comfort, and realistic expectations, not just turning things up. 🙅‍♀️

The small win this particular patient reported later was huge. They stayed at dinner longer, felt more confident, and stopped doing the constant guessing and smiling!

If you have been avoiding restaurants or group gatherings because listening feels like work, you are not alone. 🍝🍹 We can help!

📊 Approximately 3–6 out of every 1,000 newborns are born with significant hearing loss.

Because hearing loss isn’t visible, screening and follow-up testing are critical, even when everything else appears normal. The good news? Modern testing allows us to evaluate hearing safely and comfortably, even in infants, without requiring any response from the child.

Early testing leads to earlier support and better outcomes. 👶✨

A few of my favorite spring things:

🌿 the first warm day
🐦 hearing the birds in the morning
🚶‍♀️walking around my neighborhood with my kids after work
☕️coffee on my back porch on Saturday mornings

And here’s my audiologist tie-in: one of my favorite behind-the-scenes parts of my job is cleaning microphones!

It sounds small, but it can make a huge difference in speech clarity—especially when you’re trying to catch the “little sounds” that make spring feel like spring. 🐦🪻

If you’ve noticed you’re not hearing those higher, softer sounds as clearly as you used to (or speech feels muffled), that’s often an early sign worth checking. The good news? Sometimes it’s a simple fix.

St. Patrick’s Day is full of music, laughter, and great conversations. ☘️

However, nearly 1 in 5 adults experience some degree of hearing loss, making regular hearing care just as important as any lucky charm.

Healthy hearing helps you stay connected to it all, no magic needed, just good care for your ears. 💚

Wishing you a day filled with joy, great company, and sounds worth celebrating!

We get to know our patients like family. We celebrate their milestones, we learn their stories, and sometimes, we feel their absence more than people might expect.
Every so often, a family reaches out after a loved one has passed, asking what to do with their hearing aids. And while those calls are never easy, they’re filled with so much generosity.
If you ever find yourself in that position, know this: hearing aids can be donated and make a real difference. We collect them here at the office and pass them along to organizations like The Hearing and Speech Foundation in Tennessee, where they’re refurbished and given to someone in need.
It’s one small way a loved one’s care can continue, helping someone stay connected, just like they did. If you have questions, we’re always here to walk you through it.

Hearing aids often start with the manufacturer's “first-fit” settings, basically the default setting, like a new phone.

I had a patient tell me, “They were programmed when I got them, so they should be fine… right?”
Sometimes they are. But without verification, it’s also common for fittings to be:

Too soft 👉 speech still unclear (especially s, f, th)
Too sharp 👉 loud but not comfortable
Unbalanced 👉 one ear working harder 👉 more listening fatigue

That’s why we use Real-Ear Measurement (REM). It takes us from “let’s try this and hope” to “let’s measure and confirm.”

REM helps us verify things like:

✅ soft speech (grandkids, across-the-room voices)
✅ everyday speech clarity + comfort
✅ loud sounds staying comfortable
✅ settings matching evidence-based targets

If your hearing aids feel “off,” let’s check them!

Daily care doesn’t have to be complicated. Some of the best things you can do at home:

🦻 Wipe your hearing aids with a soft, dry cloth each night
🦻 Use a cleaning brush to clear the microphone ports
🦻 Check wax guards or tubing regularly

Keeping your devices free of debris helps prevent sound issues and unnecessary repairs. When in doubt, we’re always happy to show you how. 😊
