For today’s audiologist spotlight, we have Robin Barnes Hardin! She is the owner of Athens Oconee Audiology and has over 44 years of experience in the field of audiology. During her career, she has worked at the highly recognized Veterans Administration Medical Center in Atlanta, the University of Georgia Speech and Hearing Clinic, and the Atlanta Ear Clinic, a neurotology practice. In May 2009, she was one of 25 audiologists in the world to be invited to participate in the Ida Institute in Denmark. The Id Institute’s mission is to foster a better understanding of the human dynamics associated with hearing loss. In this time, she has come to understand that hearing loss is more than a matter of improving patients' hearing; it is a matter of improving quality of life and individual well being!

🦻 Hearing aids do NOT give you “normal” hearing.
And that’s not because they don’t work, it’s because hearing loss often involves permanent damage to the hearing nerve.
Hearing aids don’t repair that damage.

But what they do is pretty amazing:
✔️They boost speech clarity
✔️They improve your brain’s access to sound
✔️They reconnect you with the people and moments that matter

Think of them like glasses: they don’t fix your eyes, but they help you function better in the world. The same goes for hearing aids.

If you’ve tried hearing aids before and felt disappointed, don’t give up. With the right technology and custom programming, they can still make a life-changing difference.

Quiz Time!

Do you know which of these objects has been found hidden in someone's ear?

If you said "all of the above" you would be correct!

If something feels “off” in your ear, don’t ignore it. It’s always better and safer to let a professional check it out.

⏳ “Hearing loss is just part of aging.”

👂Yes, hearing loss is common as we age. But common doesn’t mean harmless. When left untreated, it can lead to isolation, depression, and even increase the risk of cognitive decline.

Wrinkles are also a part of aging, but we still use sunscreens and moisturizers to protect our skin. In the same way we prioritize this aspect of our routine, we can do the same with our hearing!

You don’t have to “just live with it.” You deserve to live better, with support, connection, and clarity.
