Being Thanksgiving week, it is nice to hear from patients to learn what they are most thankful about. Here is one response we received. What are you most thankful for as Thanksgiving comes upon us?

"This Thanksgiving week I'm thankful for the time and insight you put into getting the Birding mode just right in my hearing aids. I've been out birding most mornings this year and have heard far more birds than I've seen. With the Merlin app to help me learn their songs and your hearing aids' Bird mode to help me hear them, I'm able identify most of what I hear. Empty forests are now full.

Yesterday, for the first time in years, I heard a flock of Cedar Waxwings whistling loudly at 7kHz. Not bad given the severity of my hearing loss in that frequency range. Wind noise can still be a problem at these high frequencies, but given calm winds I can hear amazingly well even in that range.

Thank you."

Have you ever accidentally stepped into the shower with your hearing aids on? Even though hearing aids are very water resistant and probably will work after that, over time moisture can still build up. That is why we decided to get the Redux for our office. It is a professional dryer that will help remove moisture from your hearing aids. Sometimes we have even seen it revive dead hearing aids! We now incorporate this dryer into every clean and check appointment. Call us at 814-867-4327 if you suspect your hearing aids may have moisture.

Today, Bethaney had the opportunity to present for OLLI at Penn State, a lifelong learning program that offers people age 50 and older educational opportunities, travel experiences, and social events. Her two hour presentation was entitled “Hearing Loss and How to Adapt as We Age.” The class was offered as a hybrid style class, allowing people to join both in person and on Zoom. The audience was enthusiastic and engaged. It was a great way to help educate the community on hearing loss, treatment, audiological best practices, tinnitus, and communication strategies.

Today we are highlighting our next team pet!

My name is Lola and I am Queen! I am seven years old. I am beautiful and my dad’s favorite. Oh, and my mom, Dana, is ok. My favorite things to do are setting rules ro be followed, beating up on my little brother; Jax, when he doesn’t obey me, and begging for snacks. I also love to destroy my beds and hide shoes so no one can find a complete pair!

This was posted from hearingloss.com by which we are certified. It discusses how audiologists can become certified by hearingloss.com and what it means to use Best Practices to diagnose and treat patients. These gold standards of audiology care were created by the American Academy of Audiology. The article is a good read with a short video included. We will explore more of what it means to follow Best Practices in future posts.

👂 Is your provider giving you the care your hearing deserves?

Not all clinics are the same. Fewer than 3 in 10 providers use real-ear measurement (REM) — the gold-standard test that ensures your hearing aids are perfectly tuned for your ears. With a HearingLoss.com®-Certified provider, REM and other best practices aren’t optional — they’re guaranteed.
