The only way to prevent hearing loss is to protect our ears! With custom-made hearing protection, you are getting a better seal/fit ensuring enhanced protection and increased comfort while wearing. Not only that, but you can have them made in your favourite colour, making the habit of hearing protection more fun!

Our audiologist Claire is ready for her concert next weekend now that she has her custom, hot pink Musician Earplugs which allow for flat noise attenuation. This way, the music quality is maintained while the overall volume is reduced! Amazing!

Do you need custom hearing protection for concerts? Playing your own music? Working in construction? Swimming? Or sleeping? Call Lakeside to book impressions today!

03/03/2024

is a day created by the World Health Organization (WHO) to bring awareness of the global impact that hearing loss has. Today, we want to share the WHO’s 2024 key messages for World Hearing Day to help spread the word:
1. Globally, over 80% of ear and hearing care needs remain unmet.
2. Unaddressed hearing loss poses an annual cost of nearly US$1 trillion globally.
3. Deeply ingrained societal misperceptions and stigmatizing mindsets are key factors that limit efforts for preventing and addressing hearing loss.
4. Changing mindsets related to ear and hearing care is crucial to improving access and mitigating the cost of unaddressed hearing loss.

We thought we would take International Cochlear Implant Day as an opportunity to discuss one of the biggest misunderstandings surrounding hearing loss in our society. Despite what many people think, hearing loss affects ALL ages... not just older adults. Babies can even be born with hearing loss that ranges from mild to profound in degree. For children born with or who acquire profound hearing loss, cochlear implantation is one of the options families are presented with for management. Cochlear implants are incredible technology that allow families who choose oral communication (aka spoken communication) for their child to access sound and develop typical speech and language skills. Incredible!

We want to remind you that our team of audiologists is here to help. With advanced tinnitus education and training, we can offer you many avenues of support depending on your individual needs.

02/08/2024

Do you know which one is the lie?!

It’s A! There is currently no medication, pill, vitamin or supplement that is shown to get rid of tinnitus … so be careful what you read (or feel tempted to buy) on the internet!

According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose and Throat physicians), properly programmed hearing aids (with or without sound therapy) and counselling (such as cognitive behavioural therapy or tinnitus retraining therapy) are the only management options available that are shown to significantly improve bothersome tinnitus!

What have you tried to reduce your tinnitus ?!

02/07/2024

Tinnitus awareness week continues!

02/06/2024

Do you know the answer?!

A - truth!
B - truth!
C - LIE! Although there is currently no cure for tinnitus, and people are often told ‘you just have to live with it’, there are many management solutions available. Tinnitus can really impact one’s quality of life, and it doesn’t have to be that way. Our audiologists are here to help 🤗
