🎉🐾 Happy 16th Birthday to Our Furry Office Manager, Marley! 🐾🎉

Today we’re celebrating a very special milestone for our favorite four-legged team member, Marley! 🎂💙

Marley has spent the last year welcoming patients, supervising naps around the office, accepting belly rubs, and making sure everyone feels right at home at 4 Bridges Audiology. From greeting smiles to midday snoozes, she truly runs the place (and does it well 😉).

Help us wish Marley the happiest of birthdays and a day filled with treats, cuddles, and well-earned naps! 🦴🐶💤

🧾👂 New Blog Post: Understanding Hearing Insurance: A Simple Guide for Patients

Insurance can be confusing, especially when it comes to hearing care. With the New Year approaching and benefits resetting, we’ve created a new blog article to help make things clearer.

In “Understanding Hearing Insurance: A Simple Guide for Patients,” we break down:
✔️ How audiology services are classified within insurance plans
✔️ What hearing aid benefits really mean (and what they may not include)
✔️ Why coverage can look different from one plan to another
✔️ What to know as you plan your hearing care in the new year

At 4 Bridges Audiology, we believe patients deserve transparency and understanding when it comes to both their care and their coverage. Being informed helps you make confident decisions about your hearing health.

🔊🎧 It’s Week 2 of Audiology Awareness Month, and this week we’re talking about one of the simplest ways to care for your hearing... Protection!

Did you know?
🚨 Loud sounds from concerts, yard work, power tools, or even long headphone use can cause permanent hearing damage over time.
You might not notice it right away, but those tiny hair cells in your inner ear don’t grow back once they’re damaged.

Here are a few easy ways to protect your ears this fall:
✔️ Use hearing protection like foam earplugs or custom musician’s plugs at loud events
✔️ Turn the volume down, especially on earbuds and car stereos
✔️ Take quiet breaks during noisy activities
✔️ Keep a pair of earplugs in your bag, car, or keychain; you never know when you’ll need them!

👂 Whether you’re a musician, hunter, concert-goer, or just someone who wants to protect their hearing at work or play, our team at 4 Bridges Audiology can help you choose the hearing protection that best fits your lifestyle.

🎶 You only get one set of ears. Treat them kindly!

💬 Tell us below: What’s the loudest event or activity you’ve been to recently? (Bonus points if you remembered your earplugs!)
