Here is an interesting article. We have to all rethink our poorer habits. Get moving, prioritize sleep, eat fresh foods and know your hearing health.

If you have never had a hearing test or it’s been many years since your last test, call or come in to see Dr. Chalmers and Dr. Pastore for a hearing evaluation. Gain that piece of knowledge and learn how your hearing.

Poor sleep, lack of physical activity, constant digital stimulation, eating ultra-processed foods and ignoring hearing health can harm brain health.

Hearing loss doesn’t have to be the end. It can feel like it, but it doesn’t have to be. Music is still possible. Life is still possible. There are ways to regain control, ways to find your own authorship through understanding. I want people to know that.

When hearing aids are no longer enough.

Huey Lewis was recently implanted with a cochlear implant, after his hearing loss progressed.

Often people think that a cochlear implant is only for those who are profoundly deaf.…they are life-changing and restore sound when you’re not getting enough benefits from your high-powered hearing aids.

Once a hearing aid is no longer enough, you should be referred to an Otologist for a cochlear implant evaluation. The audiologist on that team will do a number of tests that can approve the surgery including speech perception tests and more.

If you or a loved one are struggling to hear, reach out to our Care Team for help. We’re relentless about helping people hear!

This is short article on a study regarding middle aged signs of changes in our hearing. It doesn’t just start out of nowhere.

A new study finds that the brain’s ability to process sound starts to slow as early as middle age.

So, the hearing loss world has a new hearing aid coming out this week here in the US. It's the new Oticon Zeal. It's been available in Europe. We will have some training on it in the next few weeks. I wanted to share this clip of an Audiologist in Europe talking about it. If you have good hearing aids now, no worries, this is something to look forward to, but if you are someone who has not moved forward because something small, hidden in the ear, that is rechargeable and bluetooth compatible didn't exist, well, now is your chance to have all the desirable features.

Please stay safe and warm! Enjoy the snow!
