👂 Here’s the scoop: Earwax isn’t just “gross stuff” in your ears… It’s actually your body’s natural way of protecting your ear canal from dirt, dust, and bacteria. 🛡️
It can vary in color and texture:
🟡 Light yellow & soft: normal!
🟠 Darker & sticky: your ear’s been busy trapping debris
🟤 Hard & flaky: sometimes it can build up and need professional help
No matter the type, earwax removal is safest with a professional. Don’t poke around at home, your ears will thank you! 😌
📞 Need your ears checked? We’ve got you covered.

📱👂 Bluetooth woes with your hearing aids? You’re not alone!
Technology is amazing… but sometimes it can be a little tricky. Here are 5 common troubleshooting tips you can try at home:
1️⃣ Reboot your devices: Sometimes a simple restart of your hearing aids, phone, or tablet fixes the issue.
2️⃣ Repair your Bluetooth connection: Not broken? Try re-pairing your hearing aids to your device.
3️⃣ Check for software updates: Keep your phone, apps, and hearing aids updated for best performance.
4️⃣ Evaluate other issues: Too many paired devices, low battery, or being too far from your device can all cause problems.
5️⃣ Seek help: If things still aren’t working, don’t stress! We’re here to help get you back up and running.
Bluetooth streaming should make your life easier, not harder. Let us help you get the most out of your hearing aids!

👓 Ever grabbed a pair of “cheater” reading glasses off the rack? They might work fine for menus and quick fixes, but they’re not the same as prescription lenses tailored to your eyes.
🦻 Hearing works the same way!
📣 OTC (over-the-counter) hearing aids are like cheaters:
One-size-fits-most
Designed for mild hearing loss
Limited customization
You’re on your own for setup & troubleshooting
🦻 Prescription-fit hearing aids (what I fit as an audiologist with +15 years of experience):
Customized for your exact hearing loss
Professionally programmed and verified (we make sure they work for you)
Ongoing support, adjustments, and follow-up care
Designed for long-term hearing health, not just a quick fix
✨ OTC devices can be a starting point, but for many people, they don’t go far enough. Hearing is too important to leave to guesswork!
If you’ve been wondering which option is right for you, I’d be happy to walk you through it. Your ears (and the people you love hearing most) deserve clarity.

🎗️ World Diabetes Day 🎗️
Most people know diabetes can affect the eyes, the heart, and the kidneys… but did you know it can also affect your ears? 👂
Research shows that people with diabetes are twice as likely to experience hearing loss. Why? Changes in blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels and nerves in the inner ear, making it harder to pick up sound.
🩺That’s why caring for your overall health also means caring for your hearing health. ✨
👂Today is a great reminder: if you’re living with diabetes, add a hearing check to your wellness routine. Your ears (and your loved ones) will thank you.

💡 Smart homes aren’t always so “smart” for people with hearing loss.
I recently read an article about how smart home tech (things like doorbells, voice assistants, and security systems) often miss the mark for people with hearing challenges.
And honestly? It’s true.
🔈So many of these devices are built around SOUND. They listen, they beep, they ding. But for people who rely more on visual or tactile cues, those alerts don’t always come through. You shouldn’t have to guess whether your doorbell rang or if Alexa actually heard you!
💬As someone who works with hearing technology every day, I believe accessibility means options: lights that flash, alerts that vibrate, captions, and systems designed to meet you where you are…not the other way around.
If you’ve been frustrated with your smart home devices or wondering what options could work better for you, please contact us. I’m happy to help you find solutions that truly fit your needs!

Question of the day!! “If I’m driving in my car…how will I hear with my hearing aids? Through my hearing aids or the car’s Bluetooth?”

Great question. I hear this ALL the time! The truth is, there are countless combos of hearing aids, cell phones, and car models out there… which means no two setups are exactly alike.

Here’s the general scoop:

👉 If you answer from your car’s system (steering wheel button/interface), the sound usually streams through your car speakers. Your hearing aids then amplify the sound just like they do for everyday listening. Bonus: everyone else in the car can hear too!

👉 If you want calls just in your hearing aids, answer directly from your hearing aid button or your cell phone (not while driving, of course 😉). That way, the call streams straight to your ears for the clearest sound quality.

✨ Tech can be amazing… and honestly, a little confusing sometimes! The good news? We’re here to walk through YOUR specific setup and tailor it to your needs, whether you want all the bells and whistles or just the basics. 👍

📱🎧 Did you know most modern hearing aids are Bluetooth compatible?
I wanted to remind everyone that there are so many connectivity options out there to help you hear your best, not just in everyday conversations, but in all the places that matter most.
With Bluetooth, you can stream directly to your hearing aids:
🎶 Music & Podcasts
📺 TV & Movies
📞 Phone Calls & Video Chats
🙏 Religious Services
💻 Zoom Meetings or Online Classes
🎮 Even audio from tablets or gaming systems!
Technology is making it easier than ever to stay connected. If this post is reminding you of someone who needs… tag them! 😅

I recently came across new research that highlights something I see in my own patients: people with tinnitus do much better when they feel supported…not just by clinicians, but by COMMUNITY. (Yes, you really aren't the only one who’s hearing that ringing!). Here are some key takeaways and why they matter:
👂 Having others who understand tinnitus (support groups or peers) helps reduce emotional distress, anxiety, and improves coping.
⬇️ It’s not just about masking or “turning down the volume”...learning strategies, sharing experiences, and being heard makes a big difference.
👥 Social support seems to boost outcomes: people report feeling less isolated, more confident, and better able to manage the day-to-day “buzz”.
So, what does this mean for you?
🌐 If you have tinnitus, consider joining a support group or an online community…you don’t have to face it alone.
🤝 At Elite Audiology Resources, we’re not just focused on treatments/devices, but coping strategies and ways to connect with others who are going through the same journey. Because when you combine good audiologic care AND social connection, the whole experience changes. What used to feel overwhelming can start feeling manageable. I’m here for the fine-tuning AND the encouragement!
