Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from Commonwealth Audiology!

Our office will be closed the remainder of this week.

We will be open Monday (December 29th) through lunch Wednesday (December 31st) if you have any hearing needs. Otherwise, we will be back to our regular schedule starting January 5, 2026 and would love to help you hear in the new year!

🧡 Today Dr. Brewer and fellow Kentucky Hearing Healthcare Providers joined over 200 other Audiologists and allies on Capitol Hill to advocate for patients through the Medicare Audiology Access Improvement Act (H.R. 2757/S. 1996). Dr. Brewer’s dad also joined the meetings as a patient advocate!

👉🏼 This bill has three main focuses:
1) Direct access for patients. Medicare Part B is the ONLY insurance that requires patients to obtain an order for hearing evaluations and balance assessments. Commercial Insurances, Federal Employee Policies, the VA AND all Medicare Supplemental Plans all allow direct access.
2) Medicare Practitioner Status. We are currently classified as a supplier. If we can be classified as a practitioner this will allow Audiologists to be appropriately reimbursed without the patient having to pay for things like ear wax removal.
3) Reimbursement for Medicare covered services we are licensed to provide. This bill is NOT trying to expand our scope. We are solely wanting to be able to be able to bill Medicare for services we are legally allowed to complete. This would allow our patients to receive complete care during a single appointment rather than multiple appointments with various providers.

💪🏼 Overall, Medicare is projected to save over $108 million in the next ten years while Medicare recipients will save over $36 million.

📞 Quite frankly this is a no-brainer and we truly hope an impact was made today! It’s not too late to call or email your Congressman and show your support, too! 👂🏼🤍

Today is National Tell a Joke Day and in honor of it we share this joke with you. Though it is funny, it is important for everyone to get access to hearing healthcare.

How Can I Make Communication Easier for Someone Who Uses Hearing Aids?

Supporting someone with hearing aids goes beyond volume — it’s about connection. Here are a few simple ways to help:

🔹 Face them when speaking
🔹 Speak clearly (not louder)
🔹 Reduce background noise
🔹 Be patient and repeat if needed
🔹 Use gestures or visual cues when helpful

Better communication makes for stronger relationships — and healthier lives.

Honoring Women & Hearing Health – National Women’s Day

On this National Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and brilliance of women everywhere — and we’re here to support your wellness from the inside out, including your hearing.

Did you know women are often the first to notice hearing changes in loved ones — and sometimes the last to prioritize their own? Your hearing health matters, too.

Let today be a reminder: take time to listen to your body, your mind, and your ears. Regular hearing checkups are part of your wellness journey.

We’re here for you — every step, every sound, every story.

National Wellness Month: Hearing Edition

🎧 Are both my ears affected equally?

Great question — and the answer is: Not always.
Many people experience asymmetrical hearing loss, where one ear hears better than the other. This can be caused by things like:
• Noise exposure
• Ear infections
• Earwax buildup
• Underlying medical conditions

Even a small difference between ears can affect how you localize sound, understand speech in noise, or stay balanced.

💡 Your ears are a team — if one struggles, the other has to work harder.

That’s why regular hearing checks are a vital part of your overall wellness routine. Make an appointment at Commonwealth Audiology today by calling (502) 642-4322 .
