Showing a little local love… 💐

Lakeland guessing game: where is this? (I blurred it on purpose 👀)

While you’re guessing, I have a little February reminder: background noise + distance can make speech feel fuzzy too… just like this photo! If you’ve been saying, “I can hear people… I just can’t understand them,” you’re not alone.

I recently saw a large European study, the Gutenberg Health Study, that has been exploring the link between hearing loss and cardiovascular health. It caught my attention because, as an audiologist, I see firsthand how hearing changes can reflect broader health shifts.
Here’s the short version: the study found that people with hearing loss often had more cardiovascular risk factors, but when researchers accounted for age and other variables, most of those links faded.
Except one.
Hearing loss still showed a significant connection with diabetes, even after full adjustment. To me, that’s an important clue.
Sometimes, hearing changes show up as one of the early signs that something in the vascular or metabolic system needs a second look. Especially if you’re managing (or at risk for) diabetes.
If it’s been a while since you’ve had your hearing checked or your diabetes care plan updated, consider this your gentle reminder.
Not because anything is “wrong,” but because paying attention early can help us stay connected to the world, and to ourselves.

Earwax gets a bad wrap, but it actually plays an important role in keeping your ears healthy.
Earwax is produced by glands in the outer portion of the ear canal and works alongside tiny hairs (called cilia) to trap dust, dirt, and other debris before it can reach the eardrum. This helps protect the sensitive structures deeper in the ear.
The goal isn’t to remove earwax completely, it’s to keep it from building up and causing problems. Healthy ears need a little wax!
As we age, earwax doesn’t move out of the ears as efficiently, which can lead to buildup and hearing issues. But don’t worry… we're here to help with safe, professional ear wax removal if you need it!

Hearing aid repairs might seem quick, but they work best when we plan for them.

A patient walked in and said, “It’ll only take a second, can you fix this right now?” 🕑

I totally understand. When something stops working, you want it fixed today! But to respect everyone’s time, we ask that you call ahead rather than walking in. That way, we can serve you well without bumping other patients.

You get a fast fix with less frustration. Win-win!

Need a repair? Call us and we’ll tell you the quickest option today.

Can I use my FSA or HSA card here?”

I get asked this all the time.

A patient came in recently and said, “I’m guessing this won’t work for hearing stuff… right?”

I totally get it. Benefits can be SO confusing.

Here’s the simple answer: YES. Many patients can use FSA/HSA funds for things like Hearing Aids and Batteris… and often hearing protection too (always check your plan to confirm.)

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.

💊 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.

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. 💙

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?

“I can hear people… I just can’t understand them.”

Usually, it’s worst in restaurants, and it’s exhausting, because you’re missing words, not volume. I get it. That kind of listening requires a lot of effort.

So we slow it down, talk through your toughest situations, and do a comprehensive hearing evaluation. Then I explain the results, because for many people, the issue is speech clarity in noise, not just “turn it up.”

The wins are often small but powerful:
✅ less guessing
✅ less repeating
✅ less listening fatigue
✅ more confidence

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. When you’re ready, we’re here to help!
