Happy Easter! The Easter bunny knew just what Francie wanted this year (princess toys, bubbles, and dresses-nailed it!)🐰 🐣 💛

Dr. Lindsey spent her afternoon speaking with the 3rd year doctor of audiology graduate students at Purdue University about Practice Management. Thank you to Purdue for being one of 3 graduate schools in Indiana preparing the next generation of audiologists!

And then, I did a drive around campus to ensure all of my old residences were still standing despite construction everywhere you look!

Purdue fans, I highly recommend checking out The Lawrence for a lunch spot on your next visit! So good!

When you come to Audiology Always, we meet you where you’re at when it comes to your hearing needs, goals, and budget. Sometimes, cost is still a barrier (even with insurance discount plans). Rather than make anyone feel bad, or trying to trick you into something you can’t afford- we will graciously give you the phone number for Give Hear, a non-profit hearing organization based out of Fort Wayne. They have fabulous Doctors of Audiology, who we consider friends, that we know will give you great care at a budget you can afford.

If you have old hearing aids from a family member that you’ve been wondering where to donate, we’ll gladly take them and ensure they get to Give Hear so we can keep hearing care accessible for all in Northeast Indiana!

The older I get, the more I recognize how fortunate I was to grow up with all 4 grandparents, and even 1 great-grandma, who all lived within 5 miles of me and were very present in my youth.

If you knew Grandma Ginny you’d say she was the kindest soul and one of the most giving people with her time and talents.

If you knew, or still know, Grandpa Jim you’d say he’s one of the handiest people you’ve ever met and there’s no project he can’t solve.

If you knew Grandma Yarde you’d say she was the best cook on this side of the Mississippi and was a devout member of her church.

If you knew Grandpa Yarde you’d say he was one of the hardest workers you’d ever met and he was a huge Garrett sports fan.

If you knew Great-Grandma Ann Kelham you’d say she was the sweetest lady who loved to travel and loved all her family while living such a fulfilled life.

I tell you all of this because when each of you enter Audiology Always it’s a promise from me that you will be treated the way I would’ve wanted any medical professional to treat my grandparents.

Welcoming, friendly, kind, using words you understand, trustworthy, easy to work with, local to home- that’s us, and that’s who we’ll ALWAYS be!

Our “take a book & leave a book” shelf is looking is bit sparse (that means you all think this idea is as fun as we do)!

If you’re thinking about purging your bookshelf this weekend, we would love to take some books off your hands that you think others would enjoy! Any and all genres are welcome!

Dr. Lindsey spent the past week in the warmth with her family! Once kids enter the picture there’s a vast difference between “vacation” and “family vacation”. We swam, made sand castles, met princesses, ate ice cream for lunch and did all the things a 4 year old dreams of on vacation!

Back to my regularly scheduled programming of Audiology Always! 👂🏻

*I’m always forever thankful for Amanda, Abby, Dr. Shelley, and Dr. Jessica for allowing me this time away with my family! We all take our turns because life is just too short not to!

My favorite line, “Dr. Shelley is the best and will not stop until everything is perfect.”

My second favorite line, “The receptionist is also the best.”

My third favorite line, “Really really happy that I chose Audiology Always.”

We’re happy you chose us too, Larry!

An audiologist colleague, Dr. Layne Garrett, recently posted a statement about tinnitus that resonated with me, and I think it will with you too.

We’ve all heard “I was told I just have to live with it.” As Dr. Layne Garrett stated, “that statement isn’t wrong, it’s just incomplete.”

For many people, it’s the HOW do I live with it that brings them to Audiology Always. When we talk about “managing tinnitus” we spend 90 minutes learning YOU— your life, your history, your day to day. Once Dr. Shelley and I understand your tinnitus and how it’s impacting your life, that’s when we can tailor a management strategy for you.

Sometimes it’s lifestyle changes, sometimes it’s understanding your body’s response to your tinnitus, sometimes it’s tools to introduce as a distraction, sometimes it’s recognizing your tinnitus triggers, sometimes its a referral to an ENT, sometimes it’s a recommendation for cognitive behavioral therapy, sometimes it’s a discussion on hearing conservation and earplug use, sometimes it’s discussing sleep strategies, sometimes it’s a recommendation for massage therapy, sometimes it’s hearing aids or Lenire.

I write this to say, there is no cure. But there are hopeful days ahead with the right support. If you have tinnitus and have “learned to live with it” please share any strategies that work for you!

Today, March 12th, was National Working Moms Day! You’re looking at our group of 5 working moms!

The best part about working with fellow working moms is that we understand the sleepless nights, the needing to take time off for a kid’s dentist appointment, the urge for a vacation away from it all, the excitement over a new sports season starting for your kid, the blocked schedule for a zoo field trip, the dread of what to make for dinner after a long day, the stressful parenting decisions… all while showing up as the best hearing care professionals for Audiology Always!

I’d pick this group of moms 10 times over!

A conversation with Zach Groth - 21Alive discussing amplifiers, OTC hearing aids, and prescription hearing aids. All things that go in your ears, but not all created equal!

Our behind the scenes employee, my Mom. Ok, employee is the wrong word… our behind the scenes volunteer.

My Mom graciously volunteers herself to track insurance payments and help with keeping the books balanced. You know, the thankless jobs. She does it to ensure the success of her daughter which is so appreciated.

Someday I might convince her to retire and join the Audiology Always payroll, but for now the best I can do is say THANK YOU, Mom.
