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 Idaho!

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 Idaho?

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?

Here’s something many people don’t realize: hearing loss and cognitive decline may actually share a common cause.

Things like aging, oxidative stress, or changes in brain structure can affect both hearing and brain function at the same time.

This is known as the Co-Morbidity Theory, and it’s one of the reasons we look at the whole picture when we assess your hearing.

Brain scans show that adults with hearing loss experience faster rates of brain shrinkage, especially in areas tied to memory and speech processing. (Source: Peelle et al., 2011)

Say what? Yes, you heard that right…caring for your hearing is one step toward protecting your brain health, too.

“Do I need a doctor’s referral to see you?”

Great question, and the honest answer is: it depends on your insurance plan. Some plans let you schedule directly, while others require a referral to make sure your visit is covered.

Instead of guessing, call us and we’ll check your benefits and let you know whether you need a referral before you book.

Our team does this every day and can help you take the next step with confidence!

As an audiologist, this is incredible news! The FDA has just approved MED-EL cochlear implants for children as young as seven months old, a groundbreaking step in early hearing intervention.

The earlier we can support a child’s hearing, the better the outcomes for speech, language, and brain development! To learn more, check out MED-EL’s website!

Ever feel totally wiped out after a long conversation, especially in a noisy place?

You’re not imagining it.

When your brain works harder to make up for hearing loss, it can use up energy meant for other tasks, like memory or focus.

This idea is called Cognitive Load Theory, and it helps explain why untreated hearing loss can affect more than just your ears.

Research from Johns Hopkins found that people with hearing loss are up to 5 times more likely to develop dementia if they don’t treat it. (Source: Lin et al., 2011)

One of the very first things I hear from patients with mild hearing loss isn’t usually, “I can’t hear anything.”

It’s this:
👉 “I feel like I’m missing the little things.”

Just last week, a patient shared a story that stuck with me. During a holiday family gathering, his one-year-old grandchild said “Papa!” for the VERY FIRST TIME.

Everyone heard it… except Papa. 💔

These aren’t loud moments.
But they’re big ones.

This is the reason most of our patients schedule their first hearing test.

If something feels “off,” or you’ve noticed those little misses starting to add up, we’re here, always ready to listen. 👂
