Celebrating growth in action! 👂✨

Today our Hearing Instrument Specialist in training, Michael, is practicing taking an earmold impression under the guidance of our audiologist, Dr. Sowers. Hands-on training like this helps ensure every custom earmold and hearing aid we fit is comfortable, precise, and tailored to each patient’s unique ears.

We’re proud of the care, skill, and teamwork that go into every step of the hearing journey here at the clinic. 💙

Thinking about better hearing or custom earmolds? Call us to schedule an appointment and see the difference expert training makes.

🎺🎉 Cinco de Mayo Audiology Trivia Tuesday 🌮🎶

Question ❓:
A lively mariachi band 🎺🥁 is playing at a Cinco de Mayo celebration 🎊. At what sound level 🔊 (in decibels) can prolonged exposure ⏳ start to damage your hearing 👂❗?

Answer ✅:
Around 85 decibels (dB) 🔊

Bonus Fact 🌶️:
Mariachi bands 🎺🎶 can easily reach 90–100 dB 🚨, which means hearing protection 👂🛡️ (like earplugs 🎧) is a smart fiesta move 💃🕺🎉!

Did you know Darth Vader’s helmet includes built‑in audio implants because his eardrums were destroyed on Mustafar?

The galaxy’s most famous villain needed a giant life‑support helmet just to hear.
Today, we have Oticon Zeal:

Tiny, in‑the‑ear technology

Advanced sound processing for clearer speech in noise

Rechargeable power and modern connectivity

All the high‑tech hearing support, none of the heavy armor.

If you’re ready for hearing help that’s more advanced than Vader’s helmet (and a lot more comfortable), schedule a visit with Pacific Northwest Audiology.

Let’s be honest, hearing aids are tiny tech powerhouses that live in a warm, humid, waxy environment all day. So yes… they need regular cleaning!

👂 Even a little bit of earwax or moisture can block the microphone or speaker, making your hearing aids seem like they "aren’t working right."

Here’s what we recommend:
🔹 Daily: Wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth
🔹 Weekly: Check for wax buildup, clean filters or domes if needed
🔹 Every 3–6 months: Come see us for a professional clean and check
🔹 Once a year: Schedule a full hearing aid tune-up and hearing test

Studies show that 80% of hearing aid repairs are due to moisture or earwax, both preventable with regular maintenance! (Source: American Academy of Audiology)

It’s a beautiful, but chilly, week here in Oregon!

For our neighbors who wear hearing aids, winter weather can bring unexpected challenges. ❄️ Did you know that sudden temperature changes and humidity can cause condensation inside your hearing aids, which may lead to malfunctions?

👉 A quick tip: Remove your devices at night and store them in a drying case or dehumidifier to keep moisture at bay.

We’re here to keep your ears healthy and your hearing clear all winter long! 🧤

Stay warm out there! What’s your favorite way to escape the cold in Oregon?

Over time, untreated hearing loss can cause the brain to “reassign” the parts responsible for processing sound. Those areas may start handling other senses instead, like vision.

This shift is what researchers call the Sensory Deprivation Theory.

Basically, if the brain isn’t getting sound input, it finds other things to focus on, and that may impact overall brain function.

Studies using brain imaging show decreased activity in the auditory cortex in people with untreated hearing loss. (Source: Glick & Sharma, 2020)

Keeping those sound pathways active is just one more reason to treat hearing loss early.

According to new research from the American Academy of Otolaryngology, 1 in 8 adolescents shows signs of hearing damage by age 18.

As an audiologist, this statistic is alarming but unfortunately not surprising…

Noise exposure from earbuds, concerts, and even everyday environments is taking a toll on young ears. Early education and hearing protection are more important than ever.

Let’s protect your kids! When was the last time the kids in your family had a full hearing exam?
