Catie, Jessica and I celebrated the 1st year of new ownership with our friend Steven from Oticon. We missed having Vanessa with us. She has young girls at home to be present for. It’s had its ups and downs, but we love our patients and our reps that visit and support us.

This article just shows there is an option for better hearing when you feel like hearing aids alone are no longer helping you hear the way you need.

While the cochlear implant was mapped to set sound frequencies, I heard a soft, staticky noise. I later learned I was hearing a rain downpour and thunder coming from outside the clinic.

I don’t know what it’s like to lose hearing, because it’s all I’ve ever known in my right ear. I can image it’s a morning period. The phases of grief, suddenly losing hearing in one ear. There are so many factors to consider.

For someone with a hidden disability, being held to standards of behavior that you cannot meet simply because someone cannot see your disability is a constant challenge.

Another interesting read related to tinnitus and working out. It’s good to gain even tidbits of knowledge that might stick with you. There is a great infographic in the article to grab a screen shot of for future reference 😊😊

If you're experiencing muffled hearing or tinnitus after working out, it could signal damage to your inner ears.

This is a helpful article on Assistive Listening Devices. I’m more open now to bringing them up with patients as they are better than ever. The future of new technologies coming out is going to allow for much more universal sound sharing and better hearing in larger venues and airports.

This is an updated guide to aid HCPs in educating patients about assistive listening systems.

This is a simple article on the symptoms of Misophonia. We often see patients to rule out hearing loss when someone is sensitive to sounds. I believe misophonia is commonly coupled with tinnitus.

Misophonia is when certain sounds are unbearable or painful for you but not for others. Learn about this unusual condition and what you can do about it.
