Let’s talk tech, but in simple terms. A telecoil (or t-coil) is a small copper wire built into some hearing aids. It lets your hearing aids connect directly to certain sound systems, like a built-in Bluetooth for public places.

Think of it like this: instead of your hearing aids picking up all the surrounding noise, the telecoil connects directly to a sound source, like a microphone in a theater or a speaker at an airport gate.
Not all hearing aids come with a telecoil, so it’s always worth checking!

When you leave our office, you won’t just get a “yes or no” answer about your hearing… you’ll go home with a copy of your hearing test , called an audiogram.
An audiogram is a simple graph that shows how well you hear different pitches, from low (like a drum) to high (like a bird). On your chart, you’ll see “O” symbols for your right ear and “X” symbols for your left ear. We’ll walk you through exactly what those marks mean and how they relate to the sounds you hear every day, like speech, music, and background noise.
Think of it like a printed prescription for glasses, but for your ears. In Wisconsin, your audiogram is typically considered current for about 1 years, and it becomes the baseline we compare future tests to, so we can track any changes in your hearing over time.
This report belongs to you. You can file it neatly in your home health folder… or let it live on the floor of your car with the reusable grocery bags, we won’t judge.

In my experience, it’s not always easy for our patients to understand an audiogram without a detailed explanation… there’s a lot we test for!
As an audiologist, I’m trained not only to measure your hearing, but also to understand AND explain your results to you. And more importantly, I know when your results signal that something else might be going on…
Because sometimes hearing loss isn’t “just hearing loss.” It can be a red flag for a medical issue that requires timely attention.
👂 My role as an audiologist in Green Bay goes far beyond tuning a device. If a red flag appears on your hearing test, it is my professional duty to refer you to the appropriate physician before making any long-term recommendations. Your safety and health always come first!
When it comes to your hearing health, the interpretation of your results is just as important as the test itself. That’s why it’s critical that the person reviewing your audiogram has the highest level of training.
At Advanced Hearing Solutions, you can trust that every test is interpreted with the highest level of clinical expertise!

If you haven’t looked at hearing aids in a while, you might be surprised by how sleek they’ve become!

Traditional hearing aids often used tubing to deliver sound into the ear. These still work well for some people, but today, most hearing aids use a thin wire, and the speaker sits right inside your ear canal.

This style is called receiver-in-canal (RIC), and it’s become super popular for a reason:
Better sound
Smaller, more discreet
More natural listening experience

In fact, 70% of hearing aids fit in the U.S. today are RIC style! (Source: MarkeTrak 2022)

Have you seen these newer styles around town?

🌱 Let’s be honest… change is HARD, especially when it comes to something as personal as your hearing.

I hear this all the time:
“I know I need help… I just don’t know if I’m ready.”
“It feels like such a big step.”
“What if everything sounds too loud?”

And you know what? Those feelings are completely normal.

Hearing help isn’t just about a device. It's a change in routine, in confidence, in daily life. And big changes take courage.

But here’s the part I love reminding my patients of:
✨ You don’t have to do it alone. We are here to help.
✨ You get to take it one small step at a time. We schedule follow-up visits.
✨ Your brain is AMAZING at adjusting…sometimes it just needs a little practice.

Sometimes the hardest step… is also the one that changes everything.

🌟If you’re ready (or even curious), please reach out to us. We’re here to help!

One of the most common questions we get is: "Should I go with rechargeable hearing aids or traditional batteries?"

Here’s a quick breakdown:
✅ Rechargeable hearing aids
Just place them in a charger overnight, no more fumbling with tiny batteries
Great for people with arthritis or dexterity concerns
Environmentally friendly and convenient
Most models hold a full day’s charge

🔁 Battery-powered hearing aids
Still a solid option, especially for those who travel often or don’t want to rely on charging
Batteries typically last 3–10 days, depending on use and size

Which one is more popular? Well, rechargeable hearing aids now make up over half of all hearing aids sold in the U.S. So they are definitely becoming more popular! (Source: Hearing Industries Association, 2022).

We get this question a lot: “Do hearing aids actually help prevent cognitive decline?”

The answer, more and more, is yes, especially if they’re used early.

In fact, a major 2023 study found that using hearing aids was linked to a 48% lower risk of developing dementia in adults with hearing loss. (Source: Lin et al., Lancet Commission, 2023)

That’s a powerful reason to start thinking about hearing health! Can you think of anyone that has been putting off their hearing test?

During the cooler months of the year, it’s no secret that I see a spike in illnesses: flu, colds, RSV, COVID… you name it. And with illness season comes the usual suspects: boogers, coughs, and sometimes… ear woes. 👎
At Advanced Hearing Solutions, I consistently see an increase in middle ear fluid during the winter months, especially here in the Green Bay area. Sometimes the fluid behind the middle ear isn’t always easy to see either! This is why one of the most critical (and quickest!) tests we can perform for our patients is called tympanometry.
👂 Tympanometry is a quick, painless test that measures how well your eardrum and middle ear system are functioning.
Why does this matter? Because middle ear issues are worth keeping an eye on. Fluid in the middle ear that isn’t infected can sometimes last up to 6-12 weeks!

From my point of view, I see hearing screenings as a really helpful first step, kind of like a “check engine” light. They don’t tell us everything, but they do tell us when it’s time to look closer.

For example, once I saw a patient who had failed a hearing screening. His screening indicated a potential issue, so we scheduled a comprehensive diagnostic hearing test at the clinic. Once I completed that testing, including both air AND bone conduction, it was clear that something was going on in his middle ear!

Because we caught it, I was able to refer him to a specialist. He underwent surgical treatment that significantly improved his hearing.

Stories like this are why I always say: a simple screening can be the first step toward answers. However, a diagnostic test helps us see the FULL PICTURE!

Let’s be honest, hearing aids are tiny tech powerhouses that live in a warm, humid, waxy environment all day. So yes… they need regular cleaning!

👂 Even a little bit of earwax or moisture can block the microphone or speaker, making your hearing aids seem like they "aren’t working right."

Here’s what we recommend:
🔹 Daily: Brush the domes or earmolds with a soft bristle toothbrush and wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth
🔹 Weekly: Check for wax buildup, clean filters or domes if needed
🔹 Every 3 months: Replace the wax filters (wax traps)
🔹 Every 6 months: Come see us for a professional clean and check
🔹 Once a year: Schedule a full hearing aid tune-up and hearing test

Studies show that 80% of hearing aid repairs are due to moisture or earwax, both preventable with regular maintenance! (Source: American Academy of Audiology)
