As an audiologist, I see this story all the time:

A patient comes in because their spouse gently nudged them to schedule (or scheduled the appointment for them 😉). They usually start with, “I hear fine, everyone mumbles,” and I can tell they feel skeptical..

We slow it down, discuss real-life moments such as TV volume and group conversation, and then review their hearing test results.

The best part? The “wins” are often small but powerful: TV is lower, and couples always report that there is less repeating needed, and they can tell their spouse is more confident in different listening environments.

If you’ve been on the fence, you’re not alone. When you’re ready, we’re here to help, without pressure!

💊 Did you know that over 200 medications list hearing loss or tinnitus as a possible side effect? This includes some prescriptions and even common over-the-counter meds like aspirin or acetaminophen.

But don’t panic, taking them doesn’t mean you will develop hearing issues.

If you do notice ringing or changes in hearing after starting a new medication, don’t stop taking it; talk to your prescribing doctor first. 👂🩺

We’re here to help you monitor your hearing health and work with your care team if anything changes.

Anyone else remember falling asleep to the hum of one of these fans?

Turns out, that soothing sound may have been doing more than keeping you cool. It can also be a helpful tool for managing tinnitus!

Sound masking uses background noise, such as a fan, sound machine, or app, to give the brain something else to focus on besides the ringing or buzzing.

It’s especially helpful at bedtime or in quiet environments if you have trouble falling asleep.
Which one are you? Old-school or high-tech?

Hearing ringing, buzzing, humming, or rushing sounds in your ears? 👂 You’re not imagining it, and you’re definitely not alone. About 10% of U.S. adults (over 25 million people) experience tinnitus, and millions find it disruptive to daily life.

Tinnitus is commonly linked to hearing loss, but stress, anxiety, noise exposure, and head injuries can also play a role.

If the sounds in your ears are bothering you, we’re here to help you understand what’s going on. 💙

Many people describe tinnitus as a high-pitched ringing, but it can also sound like buzzing, humming, rushing, or even thumping. 🔔

Some people experience pulsatile tinnitus, where the sound matches their heartbeat. ❤️‍🔥 While this can happen occasionally, persistent pulsatile tinnitus may signal an underlying health concern and shouldn’t be ignored.

A hearing test is often the first step in finding answers. If you’ve noticed rhythmic sounds in your ears, send me a message or call to schedule a hearing exam.

If you haven’t looked at hearing aids in a while, you might be surprised by how sleek they’ve become!

Traditional hearing aids often used tubing to deliver sound into the ear. These still work well for some people, but today, most hearing aids use a thin wire, and the speaker sits right inside your ear canal.

This style is called receiver-in-canal (RIC), and it’s become super popular for a reason:
Better sound
Smaller, more discreet
More natural listening experience

In fact, 70% of hearing aids fit in the U.S. today are RIC style! (Source: MarkeTrak 2022)

Have you seen these newer styles around town?

According to new research from the American Academy of Otolaryngology, 1 in 8 adolescents shows signs of hearing damage by age 18.

As an audiologist, this statistic is alarming but unfortunately not surprising…

Noise exposure from earbuds, concerts, and even everyday environments is taking a toll on young ears. Early education and hearing protection are more important than ever.

Let’s protect your kids! When was the last time the kids in your family had a full hearing exam?

One of the most common questions we get is: "Should I go with rechargeable hearing aids or traditional batteries?"

Here’s a quick breakdown:
✅ Rechargeable hearing aids
Just place them in a charger overnight, no more fumbling with tiny batteries
Great for people with arthritis or dexterity concerns
Environmentally friendly and convenient
Most models hold a full day’s charge

🔁 Battery-powered hearing aids
Still a solid option, especially for those who travel often or don’t want to rely on charging
Batteries typically last 3–10 days, depending on use and size

Which one is more popular? Well, rechargeable hearing aids now make up over half of all hearing aids sold in the U.S. So they are definitely becoming more popular! (Source: Hearing Industries Association, 2022).

Here’s something many people don’t realize: hearing loss and cognitive decline may actually share a common cause.

Things like aging, oxidative stress, or changes in brain structure can affect both hearing and brain function at the same time.

This is known as the Co-Morbidity Theory, and it’s one of the reasons we look at the whole picture when we assess your hearing.

Brain scans show that adults with hearing loss experience faster rates of brain shrinkage, especially in areas tied to memory and speech processing. (Source: Peelle et al., 2011)

Say what? Yes, you heard that right…caring for your hearing is one step toward protecting your brain health, too.

Ever feel totally wiped out after a long conversation, especially in a noisy place?

You’re not imagining it.

When your brain works harder to make up for hearing loss, it can use up energy meant for other tasks, like memory or focus.

This idea is called Cognitive Load Theory, and it helps explain why untreated hearing loss can affect more than just your ears.

Research from Johns Hopkins found that people with hearing loss are up to 5 times more likely to develop dementia if they don’t treat it. (Source: Lin et al., 2011)

Does listening feel exhausting? It might be time for a hearing check.
