The Early Bird Hears the Best 🐦👂

Did you know that hearing loss often develops slowly over time—so slowly that many people don’t even realize it’s happening? By the time they notice, conversations may already feel exhausting and background noise overwhelming.

The good news? ✅
The earlier hearing loss is detected, the easier it is to manage and prevent further decline. With the right care, you can stay connected to loved ones, protect your brain health, and enjoy the sounds that make life meaningful.

👉 Don’t wait until “What?” becomes your most-used word—book a hearing test today at Lindsay Ear Clinic. Your future self will thank you!

HELP! MY HEARING AID IS TOO LOUD!

Any loud noise can harm hearing. Exposure to loud noises over time harms our ability to filter or distinguish frequencies. While hearing aids are designed to improve hearing, those that are turned up too loudly could damage hearing instead. When hearing aids are fitted properly, they are not at risk of causing hearing damage. Properly fitted hearing aids begin with a hearing test and finding the right device for your needs. The instruments are then customized to your individual hearing challenges using their settings. Properly fitted hearing aids should improve hearing and encourage the user to wear them throughout the day. Incorrectly fitted hearing aids may be uncomfortable and therefore discourage regular use.

Many of us don’t realize our hearing has been exposed to harmful situations until it is too late. Fortunately, we now have more opportunities than ever before to learn about our hearing and the ways to protect it. If you or a loved one has suffered hearing impairment due to excessive noise, disease, injury, medication, or the aging process, remember you’ve got a friend at LINDSAY EAR CLINIC. Our goal is a straight-forward one—help the hearing impaired through our expertise, personal service, and the latest technology.

P.S Hearing aids help prevent additional hearing loss and can even help restore some lost hearing by stimulating the auditory cortex, thereby improving the ability to process sounds.

👂😊 5 Ways to Keep Your Ears Smiling 😊👂

Your ears do so much for you every day — here’s how to take care of them and keep them happy:

1️⃣ Protect Your Ears from Loud Noise – Use earplugs at concerts, around power tools, or in noisy environments.
2️⃣ Keep Them Dry – After swimming or showering, gently dry your ears to prevent infections.
3️⃣ Don’t Stick Objects Inside – Skip cotton swabs — they can push wax deeper and cause damage.
4️⃣ Schedule Regular Hearing Tests – Just like eye or dental checkups, hearing health matters too!
5️⃣ Listen to Your Body – If you notice ringing, muffled hearing, or ear discomfort, don’t ignore it.

At Lindsay Ear Clinic, we’re here to help keep your ears smiling with professional care, testing, and solutions tailored to you.

👉 Book your hearing test today and give your ears the attention they deserve!

HEARING AID WHISTLING NOISES: CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS

Hearing aids are electronic devices that emit signals, so they can sometimes interfere with other electric signals and create feedback. Hearing aid feedback happens when the signal that’s supposed to enter your ear jumps back into the hearing aid microphone, causing the sound to become reamplified. Hearing aids may also emit whistling and other related noises from a signal interference as simple as putting on a scarf. You may experience feedback while putting your hearing aids in, taking them out, or even when someone gives you a hug. Other issues that can cause feedback and whistling noises include poorly fitted hearing aids, broken tubing, a dislodged microphone, earwax buildup, or if the volume is simply turned up too high.

LINDSAY EAR CLINIC, your hearing experts in the Lindsay area, are skilled, compassionate, experienced hearing health care professionals. We are committed to taking the time to get to know our clients and their hearing loss and resultant hearing loss needs. This ensures that we find the right solution based on each individual’s lifestyle as well as budget. Healthy hearing leads to healthy living—when you improve your hearing, you improve your life.

P.S. Many hearing aid models come with feedback cancellation features, although this doesn’t completely eliminate all feedback.

THE TYMPANIC MEMBRANE

In addition to its central role in hearing, the eardrum, otherwise known as the tympanic membrane, also protects the ear from dirt, debris, and bacteria. If you take apart an audio speaker, the eardrum resembles the cone-shaped disc inside. It moves and vibrates in response to sound waves. When sound waves reach your eardrum, it makes the membrane vibrate. The vibrations carry the sound waves to the small bones in your middle ear, which in turn vibrate. The vibrations reach the cochlea or hair cells inside the inner ear, where they are converted to electrical signals. The auditory nerve captures the signals and sends them to the brain, where they are interpreted into sounds.

Our ears are complicated, multitasking organs. When their components malfunction due to noise, heredity, disease, or the aging process, today’s remarkable technology is doing its best to keep pace to help the hearing impaired once again enjoy the sounds of the world around them. If you have concerns about your hearing, or a family member’s hearing abilities, we hope you’ll feel comfortable discussing today’s options for better hearing with an audiologist here at LINDSAY EAR CLINIC. Our facilities are full-service, and we welcome you to stop by or call us to schedule an appointment.

P.S. The eardrum is located at the end of the ear canal. It separates the outer ear from the middle ear.

WHY HORMONAL CHANGES AFFECT BALANCE AND HEARING

Women in particular may experience unexplained episodes of dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues that seem to resolve on their own. Estrogen levels fluctuate during different times each month as part of a woman’s normal cycle. Larger hormonal shifts occur during times like puberty, pregnancy, and perimenopause. While these changes are all normal, the way each person’s body responds to them can be very different. There are estrogen receptors in the inner ear that affect the entire vestibular system (controls balance) through fluid, blood flow, and oxygen supply to the area. Changes in estrogen levels can cause symptoms ranging from mild dizziness to full-blown vertigo attacks. They can also contribute toward symptoms associated with brain fog (mental fatigue, difficulty focusing, confusion).

We bring you this column on hearing healthcare and its impact on the entire body in order to better educate our readers on the importance and benefits of taking care of their hearing, thus enhancing their quality of life. If you are having trouble hearing, or if a family member seems to be experiencing hearing difficulties, we welcome your call at LINDSAY EAR CLINIC. We offer comprehensive services by a skilled and specially trained audiologist, including hearing tests and evaluations, individualized hearing instrument fittings, and follow-up care.

P.S. Types of “dizziness” include vertigo (makes you feel like you or the room is moving); disequilibrium makes you feel unbalanced and uncoordinated; and lightheadedness happens when you feel like you might pass out.

Swimming and Ear Care for Adults and Seniors: Protect Your Ears in the Water 🌊👂

Swimming is a wonderful way for adults and seniors to stay active, improve fitness, and relax. However, water exposure can sometimes lead to ear discomfort or infections, especially as we get older.

At Lindsay Ear Clinic, we often advise our adult and senior clients on how to keep their ears healthy while enjoying swimming. Here’s what you need to know:

Why Seniors Are More Vulnerable
As we age, the skin inside the ear canal becomes thinner and more sensitive, making it easier to develop irritation or infections like swimmer’s ear (otitis externa). Additionally, earwax buildup can trap moisture, causing discomfort or even temporary hearing issues.

Tips for Healthy Ears After Swimming:

Gently dry your ears after swimming by towel-drying and tilting your head to help water drain.

Use a hairdryer on the lowest, coolest setting held at a safe distance to help dry the ear canal thoroughly.

Consider wearing custom-fitted swimming earplugs to keep water out — especially if you’re prone to infections or have sensitive ears.

Avoid using cotton swabs or inserting objects in your ears, as this can damage delicate skin and increase infection risk.

If you experience itching, pain, redness, or discharge after swimming, seek medical advice promptly.

Keep Your Ears and Hearing in Top Shape
Regular ear checkups and hearing assessments can help detect problems early. If you experience frequent ear infections, discomfort, or changes in hearing, book an appointment with Lindsay Ear Clinic. Our experienced team will provide personalized care and advice to keep your ears healthy and your hearing sharp.

Enjoy swimming with peace of mind — with the right care, your ears can stay happy and healthy for years to come!
