Silent night? Not if I can help it! 😆

🦻With properly fit hearing aids, we hope your holidays sound merry & bright…just as they should. 🎶🎄

For people with hearing loss, those repeated clarifications can feel exhausting… and embarrassing 🫣. Sometimes they worry about being a burden or slowing down the conversation, so they overcompensate with humor, small talk, or even silence. 🤐

But here’s the truth: missing pieces of a conversation doesn’t mean you’re a burden. With the right support from our team, we can turn those moments of embarrassment into moments of clarity, confidence, and connection. ❤️👂

This holiday season (and every day), don’t let hearing loss keep you from fully participating in the laughter, stories, and joy around you.

Winter is here and I’m leaning ALL the way into it this year! Between festive traditions, cozy nights, and twinkling lights, there’s just something magical about this season. ✨

Here’s what’s on my winter bucket list this year:
🎄 Decorate the tree
☕ Sip hot cocoa by the fire
🎶 Listen to holiday music on repeat (no shame!)
🍪 Bake something that makes the whole house smell amazing
🏠 Build a gingerbread house (for looks & taste, not structural integrity 😉)
🕯️ Enjoy one quiet evening with no to-do list, just peace

And if we get lucky with some snow…
⛄ Build a snowman
❄️ Take a winter walk and just listen to how still and peaceful everything sounds

Because for me, this season isn’t just about the sights and smells, it’s about the sounds that make it feel alive: laughter, music, conversation, and crackling fires. 🔥

❄️ Happy First Day of Winter!

☃️There’s something special about the sounds of winter. The crunch of fresh snow, the crackle of a fireplace, and the laughter that fills the air when everyone finally warms up inside. 🔥

✨ This season, I’m slowing down to notice those little sounds that make winter feel cozy and alive. Because hearing them clearly? That’s what makes the season magical.

👂If those sounds have started to fade or feel muffled, it might be time to check in on your hearing. Let’s make sure you don’t miss a single snow-day giggle or holiday song. 🎶

Holiday parties are loud: clinking glasses, holiday music, laughter everywhere! Yet somehow, your brain knows how to tune into your conversation… like when your friend leans over and says, “These cookies are amazing.” 🍪

👂 That’s the gift of hearing at work. Your ears and brain team up to pull speech out of the noise.

If all the festive chatter is starting to sound more like background buzz, it might be time for a hearing check. Speech in noise difficulty is one of the first signs of hearing loss our patients report.

At Pacific Northwest Audiology, we’re here to provide you with quality hearing care catered to your needs!

When communication feels exhausting, it’s natural to withdraw rather than engage, and for people with hearing loss, the holidays can make that feeling even more noticeable.

💬 A patient recently shared:

“I’m worried my mom isn’t going to the groups she used to enjoy…”

Holidays can highlight that sense of being there, but not really part of it … watching the laughter and conversation happen around you while struggling to keep up.

The good news? With the right hearing support, those walls of isolation don’t have to exist!

🧣 It’s cold out HEAR! ❄️

Winter weather is here, and while you’re bundling up, don’t forget to show your hearing aids a little extra love!

Cold temps, condensation, and hat friction can all cause issues if you’re not careful. Here are a few quick tips to keep your devices happy and working their best:

👂 Watch out for moisture: When you come inside from the cold, let your hearing aids dry completely. A dehumidifier or drying kit works wonders!

🧢 Be mindful with hats: Tight beanies or ear-covering hats can knock your hearing aids loose, create feedback, or add extra pressure. Choose a soft, breathable hat that gives your ears a bit of space.

🌡️ Avoid leaving hearing aids in the car: Extreme cold can drain batteries faster (and no one wants a “silent night” because of that).

Because your hearing health matters long after the fitting, and we want you to hear every cozy, wintery moment this season. ❄️

🎅 “He’s making a list… and checking it twice…”
…but have you checked your hearing yet? 😉

Santa’s not the only one keeping track this season… make sure you’re on the list to get your hearing checked!

Have you ever seen this happen to a friend or family member?

Large family gatherings are supposed to be full of laughter, stories, and connection. However, for people with even a mild hearing loss, it can be very hard.

During a recent consult, a couple shared this with me:
“How did your wife hear during that birthday party dinner?”
“She doesn’t do well, she usually nods like she can hear and then asks me about it in the car ride home…”

Let's just say she didn’t challenge his comment.

Moments like this remind us how isolating hearing loss can feel. People often stay quiet, smile, and nod rather than ask for repeats. They’re trying not to be a burden, but missing out on the joy of connection in the process.

It’s always exciting fitting someone with amplification for the first time in front of a loved one. There was this one moment during a hearing aid fitting this week, the patient turned to his wife, heard her clearly, and they both just paused and smiled.

No words needed. That look said, “Hey! You’re back.”

It never gets old seeing these little wins up close.

One of the amazing gifts of hearing is the ability to tell different pitches (aka frequencies 🤓) apart…something we often take for granted! 👂✨

Think about it:

🔔 The high-pitched jingle of sleigh bells vs. the deep “Ho Ho Ho” of Santa’s laugh
⛄️ The delicate chime of a snow globe vs footsteps stomping through fresh snow
🎄Tiny ornaments clinking as you hang them on the tree vs the rumble of a holiday train set around the tree

🧠 Our brains help us distinguish all these sounds, letting us fully enjoy every festive moment.
If you’ve noticed it’s harder to pick out these details (or conversations get “blurry” in noisy rooms), consider scheduling a hearing check before the end of the year!

Myth: Louder is better.
Fact: Clarity is key.

It’s a common misconception that people with hearing loss just need others to “speak up.” But here’s the truth 👇

👂Hearing loss doesn’t just make sounds quieter…it makes speech distorted and muffled. That means even if someone shouts, the words may still sound unclear or jumbled.

So instead of raising your voice, try:
💬 Facing the person directly
👄 Speaking clearly (not exaggerated)
📺 Reducing background noise when possible

At Pacific Northwest Audiology, we hope to equip you with tools to thrive this holiday season. And if you or someone you love feels like voices sound mumbly, unclear, or that everyone’s talking too fast, it might be time for a hearing check. Because communication isn’t about volume, it’s about understanding.
