“I had worn hearing aids for 3-4 years before realizing that the price really did make a difference. We decided that the better quality was well worth the added expense and made the decision to “invest more in my hearing.” I have been extremely pleased with all of the folks I have worked with here at Thigpen & would highly recommend them to anyone who needs serious help with hearing better, as I did. Thank you for your continued service over the years.” - Walter Bowen, patient May 2011

📣 March 3 is World Hearing Day! 👂🌍

This year the World Health Organization’s theme is “From communities to classrooms: hearing care for all children” — highlighting the importance of preventing avoidable hearing loss in kids and ensuring early identification and care when issues arise. Around 90 million children and adolescents worldwide live with hearing loss, and over 60% of it is preventable with simple, effective measures like routine ear checks and early interventions.

While our clinic primarily cares for adults, this theme is a great reminder that hearing health matters at every stage of life. Hearing loss can begin gradually and go unnoticed until it impacts communication, relationships, and quality of life — whether in a child at school or in an older adult at home.

👂 What you can do:
✨ Encourage family members (especially children) to have routine ear and hearing checks
✨ Be aware of early signs of hearing changes
✨ Protect your hearing from loud noises at every age
✨ Stay connected — better hearing helps support better social, cognitive, and emotional well-being

📅 Celebrate World Hearing Day with us!
Whether you’re a lifelong patient or someone considering a check-in, now is a great time to prioritize hearing health. Contact us to schedule a hearing evaluation or to learn more about maintaining healthy hearing for you and your loved ones. 🗓️

“My name is Bree and I came to Thigpen three years after initially being put into a hearing aid. I was put into one due to the tinnitus in my left ear making me suicidal. Upon arriving at Thigpen, I was promptly greeted by a lovely face who already knew my name. I was introduced to Dr. Hanson who took her time to get to know me & my hearing needs. She continued to be a smiling face and a wonderful listener through finding what was needed for me. The staff has always been delightful and great encouragers! Thank you all for everything you do!” - Bree Germain, patient since June 2021

🧠Brain & Ears👂
Your hearing does more than help you stay connected — it helps keep your brain active, too. Studies show hearing loss is linked to a 35% greater risk of dementia, and it can also lead to tinnitus (ringing in the ears), affecting as many as 1 in 3 people. Taking care of your ears supports your brain health and overall well-being. 💙
