Today we ran a real-world test to show how effective the Redux Moisture Removal System can be for water-damaged hearing aids.

A 2012 Phonak Ambra SP BTE was fully submerged in water for 15 minutes, simulating a common accident like dropping it in a sink, shower, or washing machine. After removing it from the water, we immediately placed the hearing aid into our in-office Redux drying machine. The device ran a full cycle, which took just under 15 minutes.

Throughout the process, Redux continuously measured the moisture levels inside the hearing aid and safely removed the trapped water using controlled heat and vacuum technology.

Once the cycle completed, the hearing aid powered on and functioned perfectly — clear sound, normal volume, and no distortion.

This is why quick action matters. If your hearing aid ever gets wet, bring it to us right away. With Redux, there’s a good chance we can restore it before moisture causes permanent damage.

Life happens — water accidents included. Thanks to our in-office Redux drying system, this hearing aid survived a full soak and came out working perfectly. 💧✨

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) affects 10 million Americans – yet it's often preventable with the right education and tools.
Every day, you are exposed to dangerous noise levels – often without even realizing it. Whether it's in high-decibel workplaces, through personal devices, or during recreational activities, the risk is constant. As you may know, just one exposure above 120 dBA can cause immediate, permanent damage.

🔸 Warning Signs and Risk Factors

Hearing damage often happens gradually, so it’s easy to miss the early warning signs. If you notice ringing in your ears (tinnitus), muffled sounds, or difficulty following conversations in noisy environments, it may be time for a hearing check. Common risk factors include regular exposure to loud sounds (music concerts, power tools, or machinery), not using ear protection, aging, and certain medications known to affect hearing.

🔸 Practical Protection Strategies

Protecting your hearing doesn’t mean giving up what you love — it’s about being smart. Use high-quality earplugs or earmuffs in noisy environments, take “quiet breaks” during loud events, and keep your device volumes below 60% of maximum. Regular hearing screenings are also essential to catch early changes before they become permanent.

🔸 Recommended Noise Monitoring Apps

Staying aware of your sound environment is easy with today’s tech. Try NIOSH Sound Level Meter (iOS) for professional-grade readings, Decibel X (iOS & Android) for quick checks and visual displays, or SoundPrint to find quieter venues near you. These apps can help you make informed choices about when and where to use hearing protection.

Audiologist Warns Against Popular Earwax Removal Home Remedies 📢

Most people don’t think much about earwax — but ignoring a buildup or trying risky home “fixes” can actually hurt your ears more than help them. Dr. Jenn Schumacher, Audiologist at ReSound, says some of the most common at-home methods can push wax deeper, cause pain, or even damage your eardrum.

🚫 Avoid these risky methods:

- Cotton swabs, hairpins, or “safe” ear tools
- Ear candling (it doesn’t work and can cause burns)
- Pouring liquids or solutions not recommended by a professional
- Spraying high-pressure water into your ear

✅ Do this instead:
Let your ears do their job naturally — they’re self-cleaning! If you notice buildup, muffled hearing, or discomfort, have them checked by a professional.

At Cardinal Hearing, we safely remove earwax and check for any underlying issues that could affect your hearing health.

Keep your ears healthy and your hearing clear — schedule your ear cleaning or hearing check today!

Recent findings from the 'ACHIEVE' study highlight a clinically significant link between adult-onset hearing loss and fall risk. In this randomized trial of older adults with untreated hearing loss, those using hearing aids experienced 27% fewer falls compared to untreated peers. The effect was consistent across diverse participant backgrounds, underscoring the universal benefit of addressing hearing loss.

These results reinforce the importance of hearing care as part of fall-prevention strategies, suggesting mechanisms such as improved spatial awareness, balance, and reduced cognitive load.
