Living in Central Oregon means we don't let anything stop us from enjoying our outdoor adventures—and that includes hearing loss! 🎿🚴

Whether you're skiing Mt. Bachelor or biking the Phil's Trail network, many of our patients ask: "Can I safely wear my hearing aids or cochlear implant under my helmet?"

The short answer: Yes! Here's what you need to know:

Hearing Aids Under Helmets
Both behind-the-ear (BTE) and receiver-in-canal (RIC) models work great under helmets. The key is choosing a helmet with adjustable straps that don't press directly on your devices. A soft headband or skull cap underneath provides extra cushioning and security.

Cochlear Implants & Helmets
Good news: Most modern helmets accommodate cochlear implants comfortably. The external processor sits behind your ear like a BTE hearing aid. Just ensure your helmet doesn't put pressure on the internal implant site.

Ekho tip: Go into one of the many sports shops in town and try on helmets to find one that fits snug and secure, without adding too much pressure to your head. *This is one I have had to do when I'm looking for a new helmet.*

The Bottom Line:
Don't let hearing loss keep you off the mountain or trails. You can enjoy all of Central Oregon's outdoor activities while hearing clearly and safely.

Because adventure shouldn't have a volume limit. 🏔️👂

Today we salute our Veterans. This weekend we attended the USMC 250th birthday ball celebration in Denver, CO. The AV-8B II+ Harrier dedication ceremony was powerful—especially surrounded by the pilots who flew them in service to our country. Semper fi. 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to honor those who have served before us. I come from a long line of military service members- my grandfather, father and husband.

My life as well as our kids were shaped as they grew up on military bases. Hearing the sound of reveille in the morning on the way to the bus stop; everyone would pause to honor. It meant more than the start of a new day. It was the reminder of sacrifice, discipline and price that come with serving our nation.

As an audiologist, many veterans now face the consequence of their service-hearing loss and tinnitus. The sounds of war, training, traumatic impact and service can take a toll on hearing. It is importantly that we continue to protect our hearing and raise awareness.

To all Veterans: thank you for your service and your continued sacrifice.
