Question of the day!! “If I’m driving in my car…how will I hear with my hearing aids? Through my hearing aids or the car’s Bluetooth?”

Great question. I hear this ALL the time! The truth is, there are countless combos of hearing aids, cell phones, and car models out there… which means no two setups are exactly alike.

Here’s the general scoop:

👉 If you answer from your car’s system (steering wheel button/interface), the sound usually streams through your car speakers. Your hearing aids then amplify the sound just like they do for everyday listening. Bonus: everyone else in the car can hear too!

👉 If you want calls just in your hearing aids, answer directly from your hearing aid button or your cell phone (not while driving, of course 😉). That way, the call streams straight to your ears for the clearest sound quality.

✨ Tech can be amazing… and honestly, a little confusing sometimes! The good news? We’re here to walk through YOUR specific setup and tailor it to your needs, whether you want all the bells and whistles or just the basics. 👍

🙌 Black Friday may get the hype… but this weekend, our focus is on Small Business Saturday.

As a local audiology practice, we know first-hand the difference it makes when you choose to support small. When you trust us with your hearing, you’re not just getting exceptional care…you’re helping us reinvest right back into this community we all love.

The same goes for all our neighbors. The candle shop, the ice cream spot, the boutique down the street. Every purchase, share, and tag makes a difference.

✨ Even if you don’t plan to shop, here’s how you can support:
➡️ Share a post from a local business
➡️ Tag them in the comments below
➡️ Highlight the shops you love most!

Let’s turn up the volume for our community this Small Business Saturday. Where will you be shopping local? 👂✨

🔇 Tinnitus tip: What NOT to Do! 🚫

If you have tinnitus, you might think that avoiding noise and sitting in total silence will help. After all, you’re already hearing ringing, buzzing, or whooshing. Why add more sound?

❌ Wrong! In fact, silence can make tinnitus worse. When your environment is too quiet, your brain has nothing else to focus on except the tinnitus, making it seem louder, more bothersome, and more intrusive.

What to do instead? Avoid silent spaces! Try:
🎶 Playing soft music
🌊 Using a white noise machine
🌀 Turning on a fan
🌿 Opening a window to let in natural sounds

🧠 Giving your brain something else to listen to can help take the focus off your tinnitus, making it less noticeable and less frustrating. Need more tinnitus management tips? We’re here to help!

👂 Did you know? Sometimes the best hearing care means involving more than one expert.

As an audiologist, my role is to diagnose, fit, and manage hearing loss, but there are times when referrals are a part of our patient's journey.

While I don’t perform surgery, we work closely with trusted physicians, ensuring you always feel supported. Think of it as a team approach: your hearing health is in the best hands!

🦻 POV: you walk out of your hearing aid fitting and suddenly hear…
🚗 Your car blinker ticking
🥾 Your footsteps crunching
💨 Your jacket swishing
🚽 …and yes, even the toilet flush!

When will it all sound normal again??

Here’s the deal: your brain has been missing out on these little sounds for years. So when they all come rushing back at once, it can feel overwhelming! But the more you expose your brain to these everyday noises, the faster it learns to recognize and “file” them away as background.

🧠 Most patients adapt within about 1 month of consistent use (think: all waking hours, 8am–8pm). The key is time AND exposure. The more your brain hears, the better it can adapt.

At Premiere Speech and Hearing, my goal is always to have you leave your fitting hearing differently AND comfortably. Change takes time, but you don’t have to walk through it alone. We’re here every step (and swish!) of the way. 🤍

📺 Happy World TV Day!

Let’s be honest…TV has a way of bringing us together: family movie nights, Sunday football, that one show you swore you’d only watch one episode of (and then binged the whole season 🙃).

But here’s the kicker… when hearing loss sneaks in, suddenly the volume’s at 40, captions are always on, and your family’s giving you the look. 👀

👂 Hearing well isn’t just about keeping up with conversations. It’s about enjoying the little things, like laughing along with your favorite characters or actually catching the referee’s call during the big game.

So today, celebrate TV the way it was meant to be heard: clear, connected, and without complaints from the couch. 🛋️

🥧🍗 Holiday gatherings can get loud (and not just from Uncle Bob’s football commentary). If you’ve got a loved one with hearing loss, here are some easy ways to make the table feel more welcoming:

👂 Turn down the background noise
TV off, turkey carving on. The game can wait until after pie.

👥 One at a time, please
Think “family meeting,” not “rowdy debate club.” Overlapping voices = loud chaos. (We appreciate for some families this is easier said than done 😆)

🗣️ Speak clearly (not louder)
No need to yell across the table, it’s not an auction! Face them and let your expressions help.

🍽️ Strategic seating
Put them next to the family member who is patient and includes everyone…not next to the loud cousin who dominates conversation.

♻️ Rephrase instead of repeat
If “pass the gravy” didn’t land, try “hand me that saucy stuff.” Fresh wording works better than shouting the same line again.

Little tweaks = big difference. Because holidays should be about connection, not confusion. 💛

🧴‘Tis the season for dry skin!
👂Itchy ears + hearing aids = no fun!
That irritation might be ear eczema: dry, flaky, and oh-so-annoying!

Quick tips:
🤪 Skip the scratch!
☁️ Ditch cotton swabs in the canal
🧼 Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers
👂 Ask your audiologist for help

Keep your ears happy and your hearing aids comfy! 😌

👂 Let’s talk about tinnitus.

Tinnitus is the formal term for hearing sounds in your ears that aren’t actually in your environment. It can sound different for each person:
🔔 ringing
🐝 buzzing
🌊 roaring
🎵 humming
🐞 crickets

For some, it’s constant. For others, it comes and goes. Some can ignore it. But for many, it’s bothersome and impossible to tune out.

Here’s the tough part: many people are discouraged when they’re told there’s no cure for tinnitus.

✨Here’s the hopeful part: there are many things we CAN do to help you cope with those pesky sounds. At Premiere Speech and Hearing, we tailor treatment to YOU. Some common options include:
🦻 Hearing aids (with or without masking noise)
🧠 Cognitive behavioral therapy
🎧 Sound therapy
🎶 Neuromodulation therapy

If tinnitus has been getting in the way of your daily life, you don’t have to just live with it.

Schedule an appointment today, and we’ll work together to make it more manageable.
