šŸ‘“ Ever grabbed a pair of ā€œcheaterā€ 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!
šŸ“£ 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 11 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.

šŸŽ—ļø World Diabetes Day šŸŽ—ļø
Most people know diabetes can affect the eyes, the heart, and the kidneys… but did you know it can also affect your ears? šŸ‘‚
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. ✨
šŸ‘‚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.

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Your courage, sacrifices, and devotion to protecting our freedom deserve more than words. They deserve our deepest gratitude.
At Inman Audiology, we are proud to stand alongside our veterans, not just today, but every day.
From all of us: thank you. ā¤ļøšŸ¤šŸ’™

šŸ‘‚ Wax on, wax off… but leave it to the pros! Depending on how much wax you have and its consistency, we may use:
šŸ› ļø A scoop or loop to gently lift it out
šŸ’Ø Suction to vacuum it away
šŸ’§ Irrigation to flush it safely
All methods are safe and done right here in our office. Your DIY cotton swab adventures? Not so safe. Your ears deserve professional care! šŸ˜‰

Question of the day!! ā€œIf I’m driving in my car…how will I hear with my hearing aids? Through my hearing aids or the car’s Bluetooth?ā€

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:

šŸ‘‰ 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!

šŸ‘‰ 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 šŸ˜‰). 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. šŸ‘

šŸ”” Did you know ā€œtinnitusā€ comes from the Latin word meaning to ring or ti**le? (That’s right…your ears are basically hosting their own doorbell party).
And here’s the kicker: there are TWO ways to say it!
šŸ‘‰ ti-NIGH-tus
šŸ‘‰ TINN-a-tus
Neither is wrong…so whether you sound fancy or casual, you’re still correct. šŸŽ‰
But here’s what’s NOT fun: ringing, roaring, buzzing, or humming in your ears that just won’t quit. If that’s you, don’t ignore it. Please schedule an appointment today so we can help quiet things down!

You might be surprised to hear this…
šŸ‘€ I actually don’t see a lot of hearing aids come into our practice that were bought online or at a local pharmacy.
I know the ads and commercials are everywhere…it can feel like you can’t scroll for 5 minutes without seeing ā€œmiracle hearing aidsā€ or ā€œjust order onlineā€ solutions.
But here’s the reality I see in my practice: most people end up choosing a prescription solution. Why? Because hearing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Just because something is popping up all over your feed doesn’t mean it’s the best fit for you.
šŸ‘ With prescription hearing aids, we look at your unique type and degree of hearing loss, program the devices to your needs, and make sure you’ve got follow-up care and support. That’s something a box from the internet just can’t provide.
✨ I’m glad my patients see through the noise and choose care that’s built for them.

šŸ“±šŸŽ§ 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:
šŸŽ¶ Music & Podcasts
šŸ“ŗ TV & Movies
šŸ“ž Phone Calls & Video Chats
šŸ™ Religious Services
šŸ’» Zoom Meetings or Online Classes
šŸŽ® 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! šŸ˜…

šŸ’” Smart homes aren’t always so ā€œsmartā€ 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.
šŸ”ˆSo 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!
šŸ’¬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!

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:
šŸ‘‚ Having others who understand tinnitus (support groups or peers) helps reduce emotional distress, anxiety, and improves coping.
ā¬‡ļø It’s not just about masking or ā€œturning down the volumeā€...learning strategies, sharing experiences, and being heard makes a big difference.
šŸ‘„ Social support seems to boost outcomes: people report feeling less isolated, more confident, and better able to manage the day-to-day ā€œbuzzā€.
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.
šŸ¤ At Inman Audiology, 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!
