Here’s to a new year and a fresh start. 💙
2026 is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and take care of the things that help you show up fully for life.

As you step into the year ahead, we hope it’s filled with clarity, confidence, and meaningful moments.
And if better hearing is part of starting the year the right way, we’re here to walk that journey with you.

Happy New Year from all of us at Hoffman Audiology.

The festive season is full of noise, travel, excitement, and moments where our ears work a little harder than usual.

As we celebrate our year-end together, we’re still thinking about you.
That’s why we’re sharing a few simple hearing tips to help you enjoy the holidays safely, comfortably, and clearly.

From flying and swimming to noisy gatherings and busy family time, small habits can make a big difference to how your ears and brain cope this season.

Thank you for trusting us with your hearing health this year.
We look forward to continuing the journey with you in 2026. 💙

This year, we walked alongside hundreds of people, each with their own story, their own challenges, their own hopes for clearer hearing, steadier balance, or quieter ears.

Behind every appointment was a person.
A child learning to listen.
A grown-up hearing their grandchild.
Someone finding stability after months of dizziness.
Someone rediscovering communication that had been missing for years.

It has never been about the numbers.
It has always been about confidence restored, clarity regained, and the quiet moments that feel life-changing.

As we step into 2026, this is your reminder.
If you have been thinking about your hearing, your child’s hearing, or your parents’ hearing, do not ignore that feeling.

✨ Make your appointment for 2026, for yourself or someone you love.
We look forward to supporting your story next year.

Wishing you a wonderful festive season filled with connection, laughter, and meaningful moments.As you enjoy time with f...

Wishing you a wonderful festive season filled with connection, laughter, and meaningful moments.

As you enjoy time with family and friends, good food, and great conversations, remember to pause, listen, and take care of yourself, including your hearing.

Thank you for being part of our Hoffman family this year. 💙

This year, hundreds of people in our Hoffman community took meaningful steps to hear more clearly, feel more steady, and stay connected to the moments that matter.

Instead of sharing raw stats, we wanted to show you the kinds of care people prioritised this year and what it means for their daily lives.

Each swipe represents something real:
Clearer conversations, less dizziness, stronger brain health, confident communication, and life-changing support for hearing aid and cochlear implant users.

Thank you for choosing Hoffman Audiology.
Here is to clearer hearing and deeper connection in 2026.

If you wear hearing aids during the festive season, this one is for you!

Summer heat, beach days, holiday chaos, and long family lunches can put your devices under real pressure.

Here are three mistakes to avoid so your hearing aids stay safe and working at their best.

✔ Do not leave your hearing aids in a hot car
✔ Charge them, carry spare batteries, and keep a power bank nearby
✔ Protect them from sand, sweat, salty air, and humidity

A few tiny habits can save you stress and save your devices from major damage.

And if something sounds off or muffled, we can help.

📅 Pop in before 19 December and we will clean, dry, and service your hearing aids so you can hear every moment clearly.

16/12/2025

As December fills up with social plans, family gatherings, and end-of-year noise, we talk a lot about rest, slowing down, and self-care.

But real self-care is not only about switching off.
It is also about making sure your body is supported, especially your ears.

You do not always notice the early changes in hearing. Your brain quietly fills in the gaps without warning you. That extra effort can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed in noisy spaces, and struggling to concentrate or remember details.

This is called cognitive overload.
And it is not just about hearing, it is about protecting how your brain works.

So yes, enjoy the quiet moments, the cups of tea, the long baths, and the reset. But as the year closes and a new one begins, consider adding one more thing to your self-care list.

Your hearing health.

Your ears work all day, every day for you. Showing up for them is part of showing up for yourself.

🌟 Gentle reflection:
As you prepare for the new year, what part of your health are you choosing to prioritise?

Holiday chaos is coming, and your ears deserve a fighting chance.

If you find yourself saying “huh?” more often during family lunches, restaurant dinners, or noisy gatherings, you are not alone. Background noise makes listening harder for everyone, especially if your ears or hearing aids are already working overtime.

Here are a few simple holiday tweaks that make conversations clearer and a whole lot less frustrating.

✔ Face the wall so the noise stays behind you
✔ Move away from coffee grinders, ice machines, speakers, kiddies’ play areas, and busy kitchens
✔ Look directly at the person speaking, since your eyes support your ears
✔ If you use hearing aids, charge them, clean them, and carry spare batteries

Small adjustments can make a big difference for your ears and your brain.

If you are still struggling to follow speech or if gatherings feel too noisy, it may be time for a hearing check.
Your future ears and your future brain will thank you.

We are heading into our annual break soon and our last working day will be 19 December. We reopen on 5 January.

If you need anything before we close, please reach out. Whether it is a quick check, an adjustment, a wax removal, or guidance about your hearing or balance, we want to help you before the year wraps up.

For our existing patients, please know that you are not alone during the break.
If any urgent, time‑sensitive concerns come up between 19 December and 5 January, Kara will still be checking her usual patient email. Please contact her in the same way you normally do, and she will do her best to assist. This email is not monitored 24/7 and is not for medical emergencies.

And do not worry, even while the practice is closed, we will still be sharing helpful hearing and balance tips throughout December to support you and your family.

If you need us before the 19th, send us a message or give us a call. We are here to help.

Did you know diabetes can show up in your ears before it shows up in your eyes or your feet?

➡️High blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in your inner ear.
➡️People with pre-diabetes have a 30 percent higher risk of hearing loss.
➡️People with diabetes have double the risk.

You may not notice it happening, so yearly testing is essential.

📅 If you have diabetes, book an annual hearing test.

🌼 November held World Kindness Day, so we decided to celebrate kindness all month long.

Each member of our Hoffman family shared what kindness means to them.
Listening without judgement.
Helping before being asked.
Being generous with your time, your words and your heart.
Seeing people, really seeing them.

And for us, kindness always begins with listening.
Listening to your worries, your questions and your story.
Because every hearing journey is personal.

What does kindness mean to you?
