Let’s talk about something most people have never heard of

Real ear measurement

This is how we make sure your hearing aids are actually doing what they’re supposed to do

We place a tiny microphone in your ear
and measure sound while your hearing aids are in

Not guess
Not estimate
Measured

It is the gold standard in hearing care

But it is not used as often as you might think

For us
it is not optional
it is essential

Without this step
you are hoping your hearing aids are programmed correctly

With it
we know

And that is often the difference between
hearing aids that sit in a drawer
and hearing aids people actually wear every day

Many people come to us after trying hearing aids that just didn’t work for them

In most cases
it is not the hearing aid
it is how it was fit

Hearing care is not one size fits all
and it should never be treated that way

At Show Me Hearing Consultants
we use real ear measurement to verify that your hearing aids are precisely matched to your ears

Not estimated
Not approximated
Measured

It is a level of care that is often overlooked
and it is the difference between hearing aids that sit in a drawer
and hearing aids that truly improve your life

If you have been disappointed before
there is usually a reason
and it can often be corrected

Sound starts here 🤍

Hi, I’m Dr. Sarah Cary, owner and Audiologist at Show-Me Hearing Consultants. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a little about why this clinic exists.

Show-Me Hearing Consultants was built on the belief that hearing care should feel different. More personal. More thoughtful. Focused on you, your lifestyle, and what actually matters in your everyday life, not just a device.

We take the time to truly understand your hearing and make sure any solution is carefully fit and verified so it works in the real world, not just in a quiet room. That level of care matters, and it’s something we are committed to every single day.

As a mom of four, I understand how important it is to stay connected to the people and moments that mean the most. Whether that’s enjoying music, hearing your grandchildren’s laughter, or having easy conversations with friends, those are the things we are here to protect and support.

If you’ve been putting off having your hearing checked, or just want a place that will take the time to do things right, we would love to meet you.

We’re here, ready for a coffee and a conversation to see how we can best help you.

March Madness is officially here! 🏀

Did you know the odds of creating a perfect bracket are about 1 in 9.2 quintillion? You’d actually have better luck winning the lottery twice than predicting every game correctly!
One of our patients recently told us she picks her teams based on favorite mascots and colors, and honestly, that sounds like the most fun way to do it. 😆

Who are you rooting for this year? Drop your pick below and let’s see who gets lucky!

If you live with tinnitus, you’ve probably heard someone say, “Try cutting back on caffeine.” But a lot of times, no one explains the why behind that advice.

Here’s what I tell my patients: caffeine can raise blood pressure and cause your blood vessels to tighten a bit. For some people, that may mean less blood flow to the inner ear, and that can make tinnitus more noticeable.

That said, I also see the other side. If you’re a regular coffee (or energy drink) person, cutting back too quickly can trigger withdrawal headaches, irritability, fatigue, and stress, which can make tinnitus feel louder.

If you have tinnitus, have you ever experimented with reducing caffeine (even gradually)? I’d love to hear what you noticed. Did it help, not change a thing, or make it worse at first?

In March 2022, the World Health Organization shared something important: hearing loss is increasing among young people ages 12–35. 🎧

To help protect hearing at concerts and other loud events, they introduced new safety standards focused on keeping sound enjoyable without causing damage… things like limits on overall volume, monitoring sound levels, improving acoustics, offering hearing protection, providing quiet rest areas, and making sure staff are trained on safe sound practices.

The goal is simple: help people enjoy live music AND protect their long-term hearing health.

Do you have any concerts coming up soon? Tell us in the comments! 👇

May is Better Hearing Month!
Did you know that untreated hearing loss isn’t just an ear issue — it’s a brain issue too?

Research shows that hearing loss can increase your risk of cognitive decline, memory problems, and even dementia. That’s because your brain works harder to fill in the gaps when it can’t clearly hear, taking resources away from other important tasks like remembering and processing information.

The good news? Treating hearing loss early with hearing aids or other solutions can help protect your brain and improve your overall quality of life.

This May, take care of your hearing and your brain. Schedule a hearing evaluation with Eldon Family Hearing and take the first step toward better hearing and a healthier mind.

Call us today — your brain will thank you!

When it comes to fitting hearing aids, precision is key! That’s why at Eldon Family Hearing, we use Real Ear Verification (REV) to ensure your hearing aids are programmed just right for your unique needs. But why is this step so important?

🔍 What is Real Ear Verification?
REV measures how your hearing aids perform while in your ears. Everyone’s ear canal shape and size are different, and this can affect how sound is delivered. With REV, we ensure your devices are fine-tuned based on your anatomy.

🔊 Why is it Important?
Without REV, hearing aids may not deliver the correct amplification, leaving you with either too much or too little sound. REV makes sure that you’re getting the exact level of amplification your hearing loss requires, maximizing comfort and clarity.

💡 Better Hearing, Better Life
Accurate settings mean clearer conversations, better speech understanding, and more enjoyment of the world around you. Real Ear Verification is the gold standard in hearing care, and we’re proud to offer it as part of our commitment to your hearing health.

Your hearing deserves nothing less than the best!
