💬 “Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.” — Mandy Hale

I think about this quote often when working with patients who are facing untreated hearing loss.

👂 Hearing loss is more than just “missing a few words.” It affects how we connect, how we communicate, and how we feel about ourselves. And making the choice to address it? That can be scary.

Change is hard.
Wearing hearing aids might feel like admitting something you’ve been avoiding.
The process might feel overwhelming.
You might worry about how others will see you.
But staying stuck in the frustration, the isolation, the constant guessing game. THAT is far harder in the long run.

💡 Choosing to hear better is choosing growth. It’s choosing relationships, confidence, safety, and joy. And I promise, you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to guide you, step by step!

👀 Did you see in the news?!👂

🔬 Exciting advancements are on the horizon in the field of audiology! Two patients in Tucson have become the first in the U.S. to receive the Acclaim, a FULLY implanted cochlear implant that operates without any external equipment. This innovative device is currently undergoing clinical trials at select centers nationwide, including the Center for Neurosciences at Tucson Medical Center.

🦻 Unlike traditional cochlear implants that rely on external microphones and processors, the Acclaim utilizes a sensor that couples to the hearing bones, effectively turning the eardrum into a natural microphone. A rechargeable battery implanted in the chest powers the device, allowing for induction charging by simply placing a charger on the chest. This design aims to provide users with a more seamless and discreet hearing experience.

📊 While the Acclaim is still in the clinical trial phase, the initial results are promising and represent a significant step forward in hearing restoration technology.

👍 At Premiere Speech and Hearing, we stay on top of the latest developments in audiology to provide our patients with informed guidance and care. If you have questions about cochlear implants or other hearing solutions, our team is here to help!

👂 So apparently… our ears try to perk up when we’re really focused on a sound!

📚 I just read this fascinating article about how researchers are studying tiny ear muscles we don’t even realize we’re using. Turns out, these muscles could potentially help create smarter hearing aids, ones that actually respond to how hard you’re trying to listen in a noisy room. 🤯

🦻 We already know hearing is way more than just volume: it's about focus, fatigue, and effort. This kind of research could totally change how hearing aids work in the future!
If hearing feels more like a workout than it should, let’s chat. There are great solutions already available, and even cooler tech on the way.

💑 Happy National Couples Day! ❤️

At Premiere Speech and Hearing, we’re audiologists first… but with the amount of “selective hearing” we witness, you’d think we trained in couples therapy too! 😅

💬 Whether it’s tuning in to sweet nothings or negotiating over the TV volume, we’re here to make sure hearing loss doesn’t get in the way of connection.

📞 Reach out to us if hearing is causing static in your love life, we’ve got solutions (and a few laughs) ready.

🎓📣 Hear we go again... back to campus!

Whether you’re starting undergrad or diving into a grad program, a new school year means new routines, new environments, and new hearing needs.

If you use hearing aids or assistive technology, here are a few quick tips I always share with my college and grad students:

🔌 Charge up & back up. Keep extra batteries or a charger in your bag. You never know when a lecture might go long!

📱 Use your hearing aid app. Adjust settings on the fly for noisy classrooms, labs, or busy student centers.

🗣️ Take advantage of campus accessibility services. Remote mics, captioning, and preferred seating. All these accommodations are there to support your success!

🎧 Consider additional tools. Bluetooth accessories and streaming devices can make a huge difference for lectures or study time.

✏️ Heading back to class should be exciting, not stressful. If you’re unsure how to make your hearing tech campus-ready, I’d love to help. 💬 Send us a message and we’ll get you set up to hear your best this semester!

You know what’s worse than a bad joke?

Missing the punchline entirely. 😅

Whether it’s a classic dad joke or a stand-up special, laughter only works when you hear the setup AND the punchline. And trust us…“What did he say?” isn’t as funny the second time around.

If you’re missing more laughs than you’d like, it might be time for a hearing check. 💬

Contact us to schedule a visit. We promise no knock-knock jokes… unless you want them. 😉

🧘‍♀️ Happy National Relaxation Day!☀️

🌊 For me, some of the most relaxing moments come from sound. Like ocean waves, a good playlist, or even the gentle rustle of trees. Sound helps us slow down, breathe deeper, and find a sense of calm.

But when hearing becomes harder, relaxation doesn’t always feel the same.

As an audiologist, I’m here to help you stay connected to those moments that matter, because hearing isn’t just about conversation, it’s about connection and calm, too.

💬Homework: Think of three sounds that bring you peace.
Now, go listen for them.
Do they sound the same as you remember?
Maybe the tone is different, the timbre a little off, or the clarity isn’t quite there.

If the sounds that once brought you comfort are harder to hear, send me a message.
Let’s bring those peaceful moments back!

📣 PSA: Hearing loss isn’t just from aging… Millennials and Gen Z are at risk, too!

Recent studies reveal a concerning trend: younger adults are experiencing hearing loss at higher rates than previous generations. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 12% of adults aged 18–39 report difficulty following conversations amid background noise, and approximately 6% experience tinnitus (ringing in the ears).

But why is this…
🎧 Noise Exposure: Prolonged exposure to loud sounds, especially through personal audio devices at high volumes, is a leading cause. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over 1 billion young adults are at risk of permanent, avoidable hearing loss due to unsafe listening practices.

🎶 Recreational Activities: Attending concerts, clubs, and using power tools without proper ear protection can also contribute to hearing damage.

What can YOU do to help prevent this?
⬇️ Volume Control: Keep personal audio devices at safe volume levels.
🎧 Use Protection: Wear earplugs or noise-canceling headphones in loud environments.
👂 Regular Check-ups: Schedule hearing evaluations to monitor your hearing health.

Hearing loss can be painless and permanent, BUT preventable. Taking proactive steps now can safeguard your hearing for the future!
