November is National Diabetes Awareness Month

Did you know diabetes can affect more than your blood sugar?

💡 Research shows diabetes can impact both brain and hearing health.
High blood sugar levels can damage the small blood vessels and nerves that help you think clearly and hear effectively. This can increase the risk of:
🧠 Cognitive decline and memory issues
👂 Hearing loss and balance problems

Regular hearing and cognitive screenings are an important part of diabetes care.

🎻 Fact: Classically trained musicians are up to four times more likely to experience hearing loss than the general public especially those who play string, brass, or percussion instruments.

🎶 Why: Long-term exposure to sound levels above 85 decibels common in orchestras and rehearsals can cause gradual, irreversible damage to the inner ear. Even “beautiful” music can be harmful over time without proper protection.

💡 Tip: Custom musician earplugs can reduce volume evenly across all frequencies, protecting hearing without distorting sound quality.

🧠✨ Don’t wait to treat tinnitus — it’s a progressive neurological condition.

Tinnitus isn’t “just a ringing in your ears.” It’s a signal from your brain that something deeper is happening. When left untreated, tinnitus can worsen over time, leading to increased stress, sleep disruption, and even changes in how your brain processes sound.

The good news? Tinnitus can be treated. Early diagnosis and treatment can help retrain your brain to reduce the perception of ringing and restore peace of mind.

🎧 Our audiologists specialize in tinnitus evaluation and personalized sound therapy solutions for as little as $299!.

📅 Schedule your tinnitus consultation today — because your brain health and peace of mind matter.

✈️ Why Do Your Ears Pop When You Fly? 👂

That “pop” you feel in your ears during takeoff or landing happens because of changes in air pressure. The air pressure in the airplane cabin changes faster than the air trapped behind your eardrum, causing that uncomfortable, clogged feeling or even mild pain.

✅ Quick tips to help your ears adjust:
• Swallow, yawn, or chew gum to help open the Eustachian tube (the small passage that balances ear pressure).
• Stay hydrated, dry air can make your Eustachian tubes less flexible.
• If you’re congested or have allergies, use nasal spray or decongestant before flying (ask your doctor first).

If your ears stay clogged long after landing, it could be a sign of Eustachian tube dysfunction or fluid buildup. A hearing evaluation can help identify what’s going on and get you feeling balanced again.

Your Ears and Your Brain Are Deeply Connected

👂 73 million Americans are affected by age-related hearing loss (ARHL).

🧠 People with untreated hearing loss are at greater risk for mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

💡 The ACHIEVE trial (Lancet, 2023) found a 48% reduction in cognitive decline among older adults who treated their hearing loss with hearing aids.

🧩 The Cognitive Maladaptation Hypothesis proposes that when the brain adapts to poor hearing, it can “maladapt” leading to errors, fatigue, and cognitive decline.

🔄 Early intervention (hearing aids, comprehensive audiometric testing) can help preserve both hearing and cognitive health.

🧠👂 Your Hearing Impacts Your Brain Health

Did you know untreated hearing loss can affect your cognitive health and overall wellbeing? Even a mild hearing loss can cause the brain to work overtime to fill in missed sounds leading to fatigue, frustration, and even cognitive decline over time.

If you’ve been told “everything looks fine” but still struggle to hear in background noise, chances are you didn’t receive a thorough audiometric evaluation.

At Capital Hearing Wellness Center, we provide a comprehensive 7-point hearing and cognitive wellness assessment to uncover what others might have missed.

💬 Don’t settle for “it’s fine” when your brain says otherwise.
📞 Call today to schedule your 7-point evaluation and start hearing and thinking your best. (207)803-3277
