It’s that time of year! Although California has lower pollen counts compared to other states, there are still abundant allergens “springing” up! 🌸🌳 🪻🌾🌷

Did you know allergies can negatively affect your hearing?

It’s true! Seasonal allergies can affect hearing because the ears, nose, and throat are all connected. When allergens like pollen, mold, or grass trigger a histamine release, it causes inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages. This swelling can then impact the interconnected passageways, potentially leading to hearing issues.

Take good care of your health this spring, and as always, give us a call if we can help!

Today is World Hearing Day, an initiative by the World Health Organization. This year’s focus is on children’s hearing.

Globally, school-aged children with hearing loss often remain undiagnosed and without access to needed services. (World Report on Hearing) Hearing loss affects around 90 million children and adolescents across all parts of the world, but it commonly remains undetected, especially in low-resource settings.

Left unaddressed, this not only affects a child’s ability to hear but significantly impacts speech, language, cognitive and social development.

This year’s goal for the WHO initiative is two fold:
• prevent avoidable childhood hearing loss
• ensure early identification of and care for children with ear or hearing problems

Communities and classrooms are places where children spend time so integrating hearing care into school health and community programs can help children hear, learn, and succeed.

When children succeed, the world becomes a better place. It’s our duty to help them. 🌎
