📱👂 Bluetooth woes with your hearing aids? You’re not alone!
Technology is amazing… but sometimes it can be a little tricky. Here are 5 common troubleshooting tips you can try at home:
1️⃣ Reboot your devices: Sometimes a simple restart of your hearing aids, phone, or tablet fixes the issue.
2️⃣ Repair your Bluetooth connection: Not broken? Try re-pairing your hearing aids to your device.
3️⃣ Check for software updates: Keep your phone, apps, and hearing aids updated for best performance.
4️⃣ Evaluate other issues: Too many paired devices, low battery, or being too far from your device can all cause problems.
5️⃣ Seek help: If things still aren’t working, don’t stress! We’re here to help get you back up and running.
Bluetooth streaming should make your life easier, not harder. Let us help you get the most out of your hearing aids!

Thinking about cleaning your ears at home? Stop. Please don’t!..
We’ve all seen those flashy at-home earwax removal tools online: scoops, cameras, lights… It looks like a fun gadget. But here’s the truth: they can actually do more harm than good. 😬
Here’s why DIY earwax removal is risky:
❌ You could injure your eardrum or ear canal.
❌ Wax can get pushed deeper, making things worse.
❌ You can’t confirm it’s completely removed.
Your ears deserve safe, professional care…not a social media experiment. 👂✨
If you’re dealing with wax buildup, let us handle it safely!

🎗️ World Diabetes Day 🎗️
Most people know diabetes can affect the eyes, the heart, and the kidneys… but did you know it can also affect your ears? 👂
Research shows that people with diabetes are twice as likely to experience hearing loss. Why? Changes in blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels and nerves in the inner ear, making it harder to pick up sound.
🩺That’s why caring for your overall health also means caring for your hearing health. ✨
👂Today is a great reminder: if you’re living with diabetes, add a hearing check to your wellness routine. Your ears (and your loved ones) will thank you.

Question of the day!! “If I’m driving in my car…how will I hear with my hearing aids? Through my hearing aids or the car’s Bluetooth?”

Great question. I hear this ALL the time! The truth is, there are countless combos of hearing aids, cell phones, and car models out there… which means no two setups are exactly alike.

Here’s the general scoop:

👉 If you answer from your car’s system (steering wheel button/interface), the sound usually streams through your car speakers. Your hearing aids then amplify the sound just like they do for everyday listening. Bonus: everyone else in the car can hear too!

👉 If you want calls just in your hearing aids, answer directly from your hearing aid button or your cell phone (not while driving, of course 😉). That way, the call streams straight to your ears for the clearest sound quality.

✨ Tech can be amazing… and honestly, a little confusing sometimes! The good news? We’re here to walk through YOUR specific setup and tailor it to your needs, whether you want all the bells and whistles or just the basics. 👍

🇺🇸 Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

Thank you to all the brave men and women who dedicated their lives to protecting our freedoms - your sacrifices are everything to us!

This year we were honored to give a donation of $2,500 to in honor of my dad, Lloyd Stephenson. Warrior Expeditions is a non-profit organization that helps veterans through long distance outdoor expeditions. 🌳🚣‍♀️🥾

Ret. LTC Lloyd Stephenson was one of 7 veterans to bike across the country this summer 🚴‍♂️
🏕️Sleeping in a tent, he kept us updated every night about his adventures and what he saw that day - from beautiful landscapes and college football stadiums, to national landmarks and visits with old friends 🏔️🏟️🎣

Thank you to our patients that allowed us to make this contribution 👏

🔔 Did you know “tinnitus” comes from the Latin word meaning to ring or ti**le? (That’s right…your ears are basically hosting their own doorbell party).
And here’s the kicker: there are TWO ways to say it!
👉 ti-NIGH-tus
👉 TINN-a-tus
Neither is wrong…so whether you sound fancy or casual, you’re still correct. 🎉
But here’s what’s NOT fun: ringing, roaring, buzzing, or humming in your ears that just won’t quit. If that’s you, don’t ignore it. Please schedule an appointment today so we can help quiet things down!

📱🎧 Did you know most modern hearing aids are Bluetooth compatible?
I wanted to remind everyone that there are so many connectivity options out there to help you hear your best, not just in everyday conversations, but in all the places that matter most.
With Bluetooth, you can stream directly to your hearing aids:
🎶 Music & Podcasts
📺 TV & Movies
📞 Phone Calls & Video Chats
🙏 Religious Services
💻 Zoom Meetings or Online Classes
🎮 Even audio from tablets or gaming systems!
Technology is making it easier than ever to stay connected. If this post is reminding you of someone who needs… tag them! 😅

POV: your audiologist says your hearing aids are at 80% of the total volume you need… and you’re thinking, “Wait… you mean they could get LOUDER?! 😳”
Fear not. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had patients say, “There’s no way I’ll want these any louder.” Fast-forward two weeks… they walk back in with a smile, feeling more confident, and say… “Okay, I’m ready…turn them up!” 😏
That’s because your brain is amazingly plastic and can adapt to new sounds over time. And we’ve got plenty of options to make that transition easier:
✨ Gradual adaptation: gradually build to 100% of your prescribed volume
🎚 Volume control: adjust as you need! (even from an app on your phone!)
🤖 Auto-acclimate: the software can gently increase volume for you each time you wear them (no work required on your part!)
Our goal? To make your hearing aid journey a positive, comfortable, and personalized experience. After all, you should have a say in what works best for your listening needs. 💬
Because better hearing isn’t a one-time switch. It's a process, and we’re here to walk with you through every step. 🤍

👂 “Why don’t mummies have time to fix their hearing?”
🧻 Because they’re too wrapped up in other things! 😄
🎃 Happy Halloween from your friendly neighborhood audiologist! Whether you're dodging jump scares or trying to hear tiny trick-or-treaters yell “BOO!” from behind their masks, we hope your day is filled with sweet sounds and even sweeter candy.
🕷️ And remember: the only thing scarier than ghosts and goblins…
is untreated hearing loss. 😱 We’re always here to keep the boo-tiful sounds of life loud and clear.
Stay spooky, stay safe, and don’t ghost your hearing health! 👻

One of the best parts of my job?
🤝 Getting to know my patients, building relationships, and sticking with them for the long haul.
👂 I remember your history. What brought you here for the first time.
🎛️ I remember how your hearing aids are programmed.
😊 I even remember the things you told me matter most, like hearing your grandkids at the dinner table.
