To my patients, followers of Central Illinois Hearing
Undoubtedly some of you have heard rumors about my retirement from practice after 43 years of serving the hearing healthcare needs the community. I have been blessed by the trust and confidence you have placed in me. The decision to retire does not come easy for me as I have enjoyed the interaction with my patients and will miss it dearly. If you ever wondered that the opening lyric is in the Electric Light Orchestras’ song “Fire on High”. Played backwards it says; “you can turn back the music, but you can’t turn back time” . Nothing can last forever. The decision to retire was based on one condition; I wanted the practice to continue with a new owner who shared the same value, passion and community involvement as I did. Sooner, rather than later, I found that person. Dr. Jennifer Edmonds who worked as a clinical audiologist at the SIU School of Medicine for the past 20 years, will assume ownership of the practice tentatively March 31st 2026. Like myself, Jen has deep roots. Born and raised in Springfield she is a familiar face within the community. I ask that you please support Dr Edmonds and her associate, Dr. Abby Wright. As far as my plans go; I’ll still be around, maybe travel al little more and stay involved within the community who supported me.
Cheers,
Dave Groesch

Living in a vibrant city can be a thrilling experience, but it's critical to be mindful of potential risks to your hearing. And some cities pose an even greater risk of hearing loss.
But don't fret! You can still enjoy the city life while protecting your hearing. Here's what you can do to reduce the risk of premature hearing loss:
1️⃣ Utilize earmuffs, earplugs, and other protective devices in noisy environments, like sporting venues or restaurants.
2️⃣ Limit prolonged time spent in places with sources of loud noise, like transportation hubs, recreation areas, construction sites, and nightclubs.
3️⃣ Keep the volume on your personal audio devices at a moderate level to prevent damage to your ears.
4️⃣ Maintain regular hearing evaluations to monitor your hearing health and address any concerns promptly.
Remember, prevention is the key!
