What to expect when your hearing declines. 

Hearing loss doesn’t just affect your ears. It can affect how you engage with your entire life.

Whether it’s struggling to follow conversations, avoiding social settings, or turning up the volume more than usual… hearing loss often starts gradually. And it can be easy to overlook.

Here are some common signs:
* Asking people to repeat themselves
* Feeling like everyone is mumbling
* Trouble hearing on the phone
* Avoiding restaurants or group gatherings
* Needing subtitles for every show

If any of this sounds familiar, it might be time for a hearing check. Getting a baseline now can make a big difference—not just in your hearing, but in your confidence and quality of life.

Call us to schedule a hearing evaluation today.

What’s usually the first sign of hearing loss?

Spoiler: It’s not total silence.

Most people don’t notice hearing loss right away—because it often starts gradually.

The first signs are usually things like:
* Trouble hearing in noisy places
* Asking people to repeat themselves
* Feeling like others are mumbling

Sound familiar? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to guess.

A hearing test can give you answers, and we’re here to walk you through it.

📞 Call us to schedule your hearing check.

We hear things like this all the time from patients after they get hearing aids:

“I didn’t realize how much I was missing until I heard my granddaughter clearly again.”
“I thought people were just mumbling.”
“I didn’t notice how much I was nodding along and guessing in conversations.”

Hearing loss often happens slowly, and it’s easy to ignore. But the moment things become clear again? That’s when it clicks.

If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to get your hearing checked, consider this your sign.

How loud is too loud? 🔊

If you need to raise your voice to be heard over background noise… it’s probably too loud.

Here’s a quick tip: If the volume on your TV, earbuds, or environment is above 60%, your ears might be working overtime.

Your hearing health matters every day, not just when something feels wrong.

Summer is for sunshine, music, and making memories, not hearing aid mishaps. Keep your devices in top shape with these easy tips:

☀️Keep them dry. Hearing aids aren’t waterproof—so take them out before swimming, showering, or splash-zone adventures.
☀️Avoid extreme heat. Don’t leave them in hot cars, on windowsills, or anywhere in direct sunlight.
☀️Use your dry aid jar. Sweat and moisture happen—even on mild days. Use that jar regularly to prevent damage.
☀️Watch out for sunscreen + bug spray. Apply carefully and let them dry before popping in your hearing aids.
☀️Bring a backup. Got a spare pair? Pack them for peace of mind on trips.

And if your hearing aids do take a dip or stop working right, don’t stress. Just give us a call. We’ll help you get back to hearing your summer soundtrack.

👂 May is Better Hearing Month! 👂

Here are some helpful tips for better communication with those experiencing hearing loss ⬇️

💬 If you have hearing loss:
– Watch the speaker for visual cues
– Reduce background noise when possible
– Ask for rephrasing instead of repeating
– Use your hearing aids consistently
– Repeat back key info to confirm
– Be patient—with yourself and others

💬 If you're talking to someone with hearing loss:
– Speak clearly, not loudly
– Face them so they can see your lips
– Avoid covering your mouth or face
– Minimize distractions
– Get their attention before speaking
– Be patient and willing to rephrase

Remember: Communication is a two-way street. 💛
