October 10th is World Audiologist Day, taking place during Audiology Awareness Month. The day is dedicated to healthcare professionals who identify, assess, and manage disorders of hearing, balance, and other neural systems. We highly rely on our ability to hear and listen in our daily life. Yet, about 37 million adults report having trouble hearing in the United States alone, according to the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders. That's why it's essential to know how to protect the health of our hearing!

We had a patient the other day say "I'm nervous" as they went back for their hearing test. We try our best to prepare our patients for their first appointments at the time they schedule their initial appointment and again when we send them their paperwork. But - what can you expect at your first appointment? Check out our website for some general information that may help you understand a hearing evaluation a little more.

The hearing test is the first and most important part of your hearing journey, it will help our audiologist help you, with your unique hearing needs. Contact us today.

🎉 Closing Out Healthy Aging Month: Don’t Overlook Your Hearing Health 🎉👂

As Healthy Aging Month comes to a close, it’s a perfect time to highlight one key — and often overlooked — part of aging well: hearing health.

Many people think hearing aids are just about making things louder. But the truth is, they play a much bigger role in aging gracefully and staying connected.

Here’s how hearing aids support healthy aging:

✅ Support Cognitive Health
Untreated hearing loss has been linked to cognitive decline. Research suggests hearing aids can help reduce this risk by keeping the brain stimulated and engaged.

✅ Improve Social Connection
Hearing well keeps you involved in conversations, family events, and everyday moments — reducing the risk of social isolation, which can negatively impact both mental and physical health.

✅ Reduce Mental Fatigue
Straining to hear takes a toll. Hearing aids ease that effort, helping you stay sharp and energized throughout the day.

✅ Promote Independence
Better hearing means more confidence in daily life — from driving safely to managing phone calls, appointments, and more.

Healthy aging isn’t just about the body — it’s about the mind, relationships, and quality of life. Hearing plays a central role in all of that.

If you’ve been putting off a hearing check, now’s the time. Prioritize your hearing as part of your overall wellness journey.
