🔊 What Is a Decibel (dB)?

A decibel is the unit used to measure how loud a sound is — but what makes it interesting is that the decibel scale isn’t linear… it’s logarithmic.
That means each increase of 10 dB represents 10 times more sound energy, not just “a little louder.”

Here are a few common sound levels to help visualize it:
• 🗣️ Normal conversation: around 60 dB
• 🚗 Busy traffic: around 85 dB
• 🎵 Concerts & power tools: 100–120 dB
• 🚨 Sirens & jet engines: 120 dB+

Why it matters:
Repeated or long-term exposure to loud sounds can lead to permanent, noise-induced hearing loss — and it often happens gradually, making it hard to notice at first.

Decibels are used to measure sound levels. They are also used to show the extent of hearing loss on audiograms.

🐾👂 Which Animal Has the Best Hearing?

Did you know that some animals can hear sounds far beyond what humans can detect?
Dogs can pick up high-pitched whistles 🐶, elephants can sense deep rumbles 🐘, and cats can hear even the softest rustle 🐱…
But the real hearing champ? 🦇 The bat!

Bats use echolocation — sending out sound waves and listening to the echoes — to navigate and “see” in complete darkness.

At Hearing Group, we may not have bat-like hearing, but we do have technology that helps you hear the sounds that matter most.

🏥 Hospital Safety & Hearing Loss

Being in the hospital can be stressful — and for those with hearing loss, communication challenges can make it even harder.

Here are a few ways to make your next hospital visit safer and smoother:
✅ Let staff know you have hearing loss and ask them to speak clearly and face you.
✅ Bring your hearing aid charger, case, or batteries so you can stay connected.
✅ Use caption apps, written notes, or pocket talkers to help you catch every word.
✅ Ask a friend or loved one to join you — two sets of ears are better than one!

Advocating for yourself ensures your care team can communicate clearly and keep you safe.

Why It’s Important to Wear Your Hearing Aids — Even at Home! 🏠

Many people take out their hearing aids as soon as they walk through the door — but keeping them in can make a big difference for your safety, brain health, and overall well-being.

Here’s why:

✅ Keep Your Brain Active
Your brain needs consistent sound to stay sharp! When you go without hearing aids for long periods, your brain has to work harder to fill in the gaps, which can lead to fatigue and cognitive decline over time.

✅ Stay Safe at Home
Hearing everyday sounds — like the doorbell, oven timer, smoke detector, or someone calling your name — helps you stay alert and safe in your environment.

✅ Better Balance & Awareness
Sound gives your brain cues about space and movement. Wearing your hearing aids helps you stay more balanced and confident when walking around the house.

✅ Stay Connected
Even at home, staying engaged with family, phone calls, or the TV keeps you socially connected and reduces feelings of isolation.

👉 Bottom line: Consistent hearing means a healthier brain and safer, more confident living — wherever you are.
If you need help keeping your hearing aids comfortable or tuned for daily wear, we’re here for you!

💬 Myth vs. Fact: “Hearing Aids Make You Look Old”

Myth: “But hearing aids will make me look old — I’m not ready for that!”

Fact: We live in a world full of earbuds, AirPods, and personal listening devices — no one even notices anymore! 🎧
Modern hearing aids are small, stylish, and discreet, with nearly invisible tubing or even completely-in-the-ear options. Many can be controlled right from your smartphone, letting you adjust volume and settings with ease. 📱

Don’t let outdated ideas hold you back from hearing your best.
