Just realized Feb 3-9 is Tinnitus Awareness Week. I’m a little late to the party, but decided to go ahead and post a series that focuses on tinnitus and its treatment.
It should be noted that I’ve been in audiology for 15 years and have yet to hear objective tinnitus in a patient.

On 12/23/24, we were able to gift our second set of hearing aids this season! Del Rea was fit with ReSound Nexia 9 receiver-in-ear hearing aids! Big thank you to ReSound and Dr Steve Cashman for the donation of hearing aids, clinic space, and my time. We wouldn’t not be able to do this without your generosity.
Together we are bringing better hearing to people like Del Rea!

Happy Holidays! I want to share a little information about how our Gift of Hearing recipient is chosen. As the year passes, any patient I encounter that we are unable to find funding for goes on a list. These are people without health insurance or with insurance that doesn’t cover amplification. It is a short list as I am mostly able to find funding for those who are unable to afford hearing aids. We had 8 patients on our list. Their initials were added to a random generator wheel and from there a winner is found. I love helping our recipients and only saddened by the fact I can’t give hearing aids to all. This year there are 2 patients that will receive hearing aids. We will share our second recipient’s story on Monday. Thank you to ReSound for the hearing aids. And thank you to my employer, Dr Steve Cashman at ENT and Allergy Center, for allowing me to donate my time in clinic.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and we love giving! Willadeen is one of our hearing aid patients. She is 100 years young, has a heart of gold, and a severe hearing loss. She is our first Gift of Hearing with ReSound recipient this season and we were thrilled to help her hear better again. Happy Hearing, Willadeen!

Kelly is so incredibly talented! He mentioned that he was having some trouble with the sound of his Martin guitar around 4-5kHz. Too much compression and an oscillating quality. We wanted to make sure we solved the problem after a programming adjustment. Thank you for blessing our office with your talent!

Problems with the way your hearing aid is performing? Come tell me about it!

As Better Speech and Hearing Month comes to an end, I want to take second to recognize Diane. Diane is a valuable member of the Professional Hearing Services team. She is a licensed Hearing Instrument Specialist and has worked in the field of audiology for more than 20 years. Over that time, she has gained a wealth of knowledge in regard to hearing assessment and the treatment of hearing loss. That, combined with her tender and caring nature, makes her truly one of the best hearing healthcare providers in Northwest Arkansas. We are so fortunate to have her on our team! Thank you for all that you do, Diane!
