🎨 Fun Fact: Did you know Vincent Van Gogh’s famous painting The Starry Night is thought to reflect the dizziness he experienced from Ménière’s disease?

🌪️ The swirling skies might be his way of showing the spinning sensation caused by this inner ear disorder. Art and science truly come together in surprising ways!

🏥 Did you know that in the US, medical care for patients with chronic balance disorders costs over $1 billion every year?

Falls are the leading cause of accidental death and injury for adults aged 65 and older. Shockingly, 33% of older adults experience a fall each year, but only HALF of them talk to their doctor about it.

Several factors contribute to this risk, including:
👀 Decreased vision
💪 Reduced muscle strength
⚖️ An aging balance system

These combined changes make it harder to stay steady on your feet and increase the chance of falls and injuries.

If you or a loved one struggles with dizziness, unsteadiness, or falls, don’t wait to seek help. Early care can prevent serious injury and improve quality of life.

Dizziness? Vertigo? Disequilibrium? What’s the difference? Let’s break it down:

😵‍💫 Dizziness is a general feeling of lightheadedness, faintness, or unsteadiness (like you might pass out or just feel off balance).

🌀 Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness where you or your surroundings feel like they’re moving or spinning. It often has a strong rotational, spinning sensation.

⚖️ Disequilibrium means feeling unsteady or off balance, often with a sense of spatial disorientation. People with vestibular (inner ear) disorders might stumble frequently or have trouble walking straight or turning corners.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, especially if they affect your daily life, it’s important to get checked out. We’re here to help you find balance (literally)! 😉

👂 Did you know that even mild hearing loss can triple your chances of falling? 😲

Your ears do more than help you hear. They play a crucial role in keeping you balanced. Problems with your inner ear can cause dizziness and unsteadiness, which raises fall risk as we get older.
🛑 Falls are actually the leading cause of injury among older adults, so prevention is key!
Let’s work together to keep you steady and confident. Schedule a quick hearing and balance screening with us today, please send a message! 💬

🦩 It’s Balance Awareness Week, and we’re taking a moment to talk about something many people experience, but few fully understand: dizziness.

🌀Not all dizziness is the same, and not all of it comes from your inner ear.

👂 Inner ear-related dizziness often feels like the room is spinning (we call this vertigo). It may come with nausea, imbalance, or unsteadiness, especially when you move your head or change positions!

But some symptoms aren’t typically ear-related and may signal something more serious:
🚨 Passing out
🚨 Feeling like you might faint
🚨 Slurred speech
🚨 Numbness or weakness on one side of the body
🚨 Double vision

⚠️ If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms (even if they come with spinning or imbalance), it’s important to seek medical attention right away.

We’re here to help with ear-related balance issues, but your safety comes first. Balance problems can be complex. Please don’t ignore them, and don’t guess!

❣️Happy Grandparents Day!

So many of my patients say the same thing when they come in:
“I just want to hear my grandkids better.”

🧒 And I get it, those little voices are full of joy… and often hard to understand! 😮‍💨

👂 One reason? As we age, it's common to lose hearing in the high-frequency range, and that’s exactly where young children's voices fall. Add in fast speech, soft consonants like “s,” “f,” and “th,” and background noise at family gatherings, and suddenly you're nodding and smiling through a lot of conversation.

If you’re finding it harder to follow what your grandkids are saying (or you feel like you're missing out on their stories, jokes, and laughter), it might be time for a hearing check.

Let’s make sure you’re catching every “Grandma, look at this!” and “Guess what I did today!” 💬✨ We’d love to help you stay connected to the little voices that matter most.

🕊️Today, we pause to remember.

For those who lost their lives…
For those who gave their lives…
We honor your bravery, your sacrifice, and your legacy.
We Remember. We will never forget. 🇺🇲

👂As we reflect, we’re also reminded of the importance of listening. To each other, to our loved ones, and to history.

🏈 Football season is here…and it’s getting LOUD!

📣 Whether you’re cheering for your alma mater or the Minnesota Vikings, those stadium roars are no joke, some can reach over 100 decibels (dB)! 💥That's louder than some power tools... and definitely loud enough to damage your hearing if you’re not protected. At Schwab Audiology, we’re not just fans of football, we’re fans of preserving your hearing for seasons to come. 👂

🎧 That’s why we always recommend packing hearing protection if you’re heading to a game. Foam earplugs, custom plugs, or even earmuffs, whatever keeps your ears safe so you can keep cheering.

💡 Fun Fact: In audiology, we chart a red "O" for your right ear and a blue "X" for your left ear, just like a playbook! 😉Your hearing health deserves a great game plan, and we’re here to coach you through it. 📋

👂Need hearing protection? Want to make sure you're hearing at your best this season? Call us, we’ve got your ears covered!

😕“Never mind, it’s not important.”

🔁 How many times have you said that after asking someone to repeat themselves?

Hearing loss can chip away at connection in tiny ways until eventually, it feels easier to just stay quiet. That quiet? It often turns into loneliness.

🦻 Don’t settle, take care of your hearing health!
