Just like my dogs, Breezy and Lulu, relax when they feel safe, I’ve seen how my patients relax when they feel truly heard.

At Midwest Audiology Center, LLC, I don’t just focus on hearing aids or test results; I focus on people. Taking the time to listen and understand what matters most to each person is what makes ALL the difference.

Kind of like finding the perfect sunny spot on a cold winter day. ☀️❄️🐾 Where is your pet's favorite place to rest?

🌱 Let’s be honest… change is HARD, especially when it comes to something as personal as your hearing.

I hear this all the time:
“I know I need help… I just don’t know if I’m ready.”
“It feels like such a big step.”
“What if everything sounds too loud?”

And you know what? Those feelings are completely normal.

Hearing help isn’t just about a device. It's a change in routine, in confidence, in daily life. And big changes take courage.

But here’s the part I love reminding my patients of:
✨ You don’t have to do it alone. We are here to help.
✨ You get to take it one small step at a time. We schedule follow-up visits.
✨ Your brain is AMAZING at adjusting…sometimes it just needs a little practice.

Sometimes the hardest step… is also the one that changes everything.

🌟If you’re ready (or even curious), please reach out to us. We’re here to help!

One of the most common questions we get is: "Should I go with rechargeable hearing aids or traditional batteries?"

Here’s a quick breakdown:
✅ Rechargeable hearing aids
Just place them in a charger overnight, no more fumbling with tiny batteries
Great for people with arthritis or dexterity concerns
Environmentally friendly and convenient
Most models hold a full day’s charge

🔁 Battery-powered hearing aids
Still a solid option, especially for those who travel often or don’t want to rely on charging
Batteries typically last 3–10 days, depending on use and size

Which one is more popular? Well, rechargeable hearing aids now make up over half of all hearing aids sold in the U.S. So they are definitely becoming more popular! (Source: Hearing Industries Association, 2022).

Not sure what’s best for your lifestyle? We’ll walk you through your options during your visit.

We get this question a lot: “Do hearing aids actually help prevent cognitive decline?”

The answer, more and more, is yes, especially if they’re used early.

In fact, a major 2023 study found that using hearing aids was linked to a 48% lower risk of developing dementia in adults with hearing loss. (Source: Lin et al., Lancet Commission, 2023)

That’s a powerful reason to start thinking about hearing health! Can you think of anyone that has been putting off their hearing test?

During the cooler months of the year, it’s no secret that I see a spike in illnesses: flu, colds, RSV, COVID… you name it. And with illness season comes the usual suspects: boogers, coughs, and sometimes… ear woes. 👎

At Midwest Audiology Center, I consistently see an increase in middle ear fluid during the winter months, especially here in Wisconsin. Sometimes the fluid behind the middle ear isn’t always easy to see either! This is why one of the most critical (and quickest!) tests we can perform for our patients is called tympanometry.

👂 Tympanometry is a quick, painless test that measures how well your eardrum and middle ear system are functioning.

Why does this matter? Because middle ear issues are worth keeping an eye on. Fluid in the middle ear that isn’t infected can sometimes last up to 6-12 weeks!

Hi there! It’s Dr. Amy!

I thought our page could use a cuddly smile. 🙂 This is Frank, my calm, cuddly, 80-pound golden retriever.

He’s the sweetest addition to our family (minus the nonstop shedding 😅). Whether we’re out on a walk or just relaxing at home, he’s always nearby, keeping us company and making life better in his gentle, goofy way.

Fellow dog lovers, how do you deal with the seasonal shedding? Do you have a favorite vacuum? 😄

Let’s be honest, hearing aids are tiny tech powerhouses that live in a warm, humid, waxy environment all day. So yes… they need regular cleaning!

👂 Even a little bit of earwax or moisture can block the microphone or speaker, making your hearing aids seem like they "aren’t working right."

Here’s what we recommend:
🔹 Daily: Wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth
🔹 Weekly: Check for wax buildup, clean filters or domes if needed
🔹 Every 3–6 months: Come see us for a professional clean and check
🔹 Once a year: Schedule a full hearing aid tune-up and hearing test

Studies show that 80% of hearing aid repairs are due to moisture or earwax, both preventable with regular maintenance! (Source: American Academy of Audiology)

It’s a beautiful, but chilly, week here in Greenfield!

For our neighbors who wear hearing aids, winter weather can bring unexpected challenges. ❄️ Did you know that sudden temperature changes and humidity can cause condensation inside your hearing aids, which may lead to malfunctions?

👉 A quick tip: Remove your devices at night and store them in a drying case or dehumidifier to keep moisture at bay.

We’re here to keep your ears healthy and your hearing clear all winter long! 🧤

Stay warm out there! What’s your favorite way to escape the cold in Greenfield?

Over time, untreated hearing loss can cause the brain to “reassign” the parts responsible for processing sound. Those areas may start handling other senses instead, like vision.

This shift is what researchers call the Sensory Deprivation Theory.

Basically, if the brain isn’t getting sound input, it finds other things to focus on, and that may impact overall brain function.

Studies using brain imaging show decreased activity in the auditory cortex in people with untreated hearing loss. (Source: Glick & Sharma, 2020)

Keeping those sound pathways active is just one more reason to treat hearing loss early.

Hi, I’m Joanne Colombo an audiologist at Midwest Audiology Center, LLC. Like many of my patients, I’ve found comfort and companionship in the most unexpected places.

Five years ago, after losing my husband to brain cancer, I became a rescue dog mom to a sweet, senior beagle named Halo, and she’s been my loyal sidekick ever since. 🐶💕

Halo is 14+ now and has come such a long way. When I first brought her home, she was nervous around people, but little by little, she’s learned to trust again.
She’s still not thrilled about her crate, but she’s more resigned to it these days. And every time I walk through the door, she’s there to remind me that home is her favorite place… as long as the crate stays in the background. 😉

Adopting Halo was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She reminds me every day what unconditional love really looks like. I also enjoy hearing my patients talk about the pets they have rescued. Feel free to share your story too!
