🧠💜 September is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month 💜🧠

At 4 Bridges Audiology, we want to highlight an important connection: hearing health and memory care.

Research shows that untreated hearing loss can increase the risk of cognitive decline and may make memory challenges more difficult. Why?
👂 When the brain works harder to “fill in the gaps” of missed sounds, it has fewer resources left for memory and comprehension.
💬 Trouble communicating can also lead to social withdrawal, which is linked to faster cognitive decline.

The good news? Addressing hearing loss through hearing aids, assistive devices, and communication strategies can:
✔️ Reduce listening effort
✔️ Improve communication with caregivers and loved ones
✔️ Help maintain social connections and quality of life

💙 Hearing care is brain care. If you or a loved one are navigating memory changes, hearing support can be a key piece of the puzzle.

👐💙 September is Deaf Awareness Month 💙👐

At 4 Bridges Audiology, we’re proud to join in raising awareness, celebrating culture, and promoting inclusion for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.

Deaf Awareness Month is about more than hearing. It’s about:
🌍 Recognizing Deaf culture and identity
🤟 Encouraging the use of sign language and communication access
📚 Educating about hearing health, resources, and technology
💙 Advocating for understanding, respect, and inclusion in every space

Our mission is to support patients and families at every step of their hearing journey, whether that means providing hearing aids, cochlear implant support, communication strategies, or simply a listening ear.

Together, let’s celebrate the diversity and strength of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community this September.

🌀 Balance Awareness Week – Coming This September! 🌀

Did you know?
➡️ Over 35% of U.S. adults experience balance or vestibular issues at some point in their lives.
➡️ Conditions like vertigo, dizziness, and vestibular migraines can be life-altering, but they’re also treatable with the right care.

At 4 Bridges Audiology, our vestibular audiologist Dr. Notaro, along with her assistant Monica, specializes in advanced testing to help uncover the why behind dizziness and imbalance.

💬 This Balance Awareness Week (Sept. 15–21), we want to hear from YOU!
👉 Drop your questions for Dr. Notaro in the comments below or send us a message. We’ll highlight her answers throughout the week to help spread awareness and give support to anyone struggling with vestibular issues.

💙 You don’t have to live life feeling off-balance; there’s help, hope, and a community that understands.

☀️👋 Goodbye, Summer… Hello, Routine! 📚✏️

As vacations wind down and classrooms come back to life, it’s the perfect time to refocus on hearing and balance health—not just for students, but also for the teachers guiding them.

👂 For students: Clear hearing is key to staying engaged and confident in the classroom.
🍎 For teachers: Strong hearing health helps you connect with every student—even in the noisiest environments.

If you or your child have noticed:
✅ Trouble hearing in class or meetings
✅ Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
✅ Feeling dizzy or off-balance

…this is the perfect time to schedule an appointment at 4 Bridges Audiology. 💙

💬 We’d love to hear: What are you most looking forward to as the school year begins?

🐾 Happy Work Like a Dog Day from Marley, our hardest-working (and sleepiest) team member! 🐶💼

Whether she's greeting patients with tail wags, offering emotional support during appointments, or napping through lunch meetings—Marley knows how to balance hustle and snooze.

Here’s how Marley “works like a dog” at 4 Bridges Audiology:
✔️ Morning shift: front desk greeter 🐕
✔️ Afternoon shift: hallway supervisor 💤
✔️ All-day duties: spreading smiles, lowering stress, and collecting treats

Stop by and say hi—she’s always "paws-itively" thrilled to see new (and familiar) faces!

🌊 Yes—you can enjoy the water with a vestibular disorder!

Swimming, floating, or just cooling off can feel amazing in the summer—but if you live with dizziness, vertigo, or balance challenges, it’s important to approach water activities with care.

Here are some simple tips to help make your time in the water safer and more enjoyable:

✔️ Start in shallow water and ease in slowly
✔️ Avoid sudden head turns or quick movements
✔️ Use goggles to reduce visual disorientation
✔️ Stay near the edge or use floatation support
✔️ Focus on slow, steady movements that feel grounding

💙 Everyone’s vestibular experience is different—some find water calming, others may feel disoriented. The key is to listen to your body and move at your own pace.

👩‍⚕️ At 4 Bridges Audiology, Dr. Notaro and Monica specialize in vestibular testing to help patients better understand and manage their balance concerns.

📘 For more guidance, visit the Vestibular Disorders Association (VeDA) at www.vestibular.org — a trusted resource for education, support, and community.

You can enjoy summer safely—with the right support, preparation, and a little patience. ☀️

🧠 Today is World Misophonia Awareness Day!

Misophonia (pronounced mi‑so‑FOE‑nee‑uh) is a neurological condition characterized by intense emotional responses—such as anger, anxiety, or disgust—to everyday sounds like chewing, pen‑tapping, sniffing, or slurping.

At 4 Bridges Audiology, Dr. Guthrie has a deep passion for helping patients living with misophonia. She understands how disruptive and distressing these triggers can be, and is dedicated to:

🎧 Providing compassionate evaluations tailored to sound sensitivity

🛠️ Recommending coping strategies like sound therapy, targeted counseling, and environmental modifications

🤝 Working closely with each patient to craft personalized treatment plans

On this awareness day, we honor those who face misophonia daily—and we’re here to help. If you or a loved one struggles with sound triggers, know that you don’t have to go it alone.

👉 Schedule a consultation with Dr. Guthrie today to explore supportive solutions.

Together, let’s raise awareness—and support those challenged by misophonia. 💙

Happy 4th of July from 4 Bridges Audiology! 🎆

We’re wishing all of our patients, families, and friends a fun, safe, and sound-filled holiday! 💙❤️🤍

🎇 Did you know? Fireworks can reach noise levels over 150 dB—louder than a jet engine and well above the safe listening threshold. Just a few seconds of exposure without protection can risk permanent hearing damage.

👂 This Independence Day, protect your ears:
✔️ Watch fireworks from a safe distance
✔️ Use earplugs, especially for children
✔️ Take breaks from loud environments

Have a BLAST—safely!
From all of us at 4 Bridges Audiology, thank you for trusting us with your hearing care. 💫
