✈️ Back from your travels? Don't forget to check your ears before you unpack your souvenirs!😉

Whether you've been chasing the sun or just got back from visiting family, it's a great time to have your hearing aids checked and cleaned. Long trips, climate changes, and airport chaos can do a number on your devices.

🧳 Because nothing says "welcome home" like realizing your hearing aids are clogged with sunscreen and sand. 😅

👂 Did you know tinnitus affects millions of Americans? In fact, according to the American Tinnitus Association, 15–20% of adults worldwide experience tinnitus. For some, it’s a soft background hum; for others, it’s a loud, persistent distraction that can spike without warning.
Common triggers for tinnitus spikes include:
💥 Loud noise exposure
😰 Stress & anxiety
💊 Certain medications
🚬 Smoking
😴 Poor sleep quality

Here’s the good news: Many of these are within your control!
📌 Protect your hearing: Use earplugs in loud places.
📌 Manage stress: Try mindfulness, movement, or counseling.
📌 Prioritize sleep: A regular sleep routine can ease tinnitus.
📌 Quit smoking: Your ears (and body) will thank you.
📌 Review medications: Ask your doctor about alternatives.
💡 Small changes can lead to big relief.

If tinnitus is affecting your day-to-day life, let’s talk about solutions. From sound therapy and hearing aids to lifestyle strategies, we’re here to help you take back control.

🌍 It’s World Listening Day! 👂

Started by the World Listening Project, this day celebrates the sonic environment (aka, the sound picture of wherever you are). A buzzing street, a quiet room, birds in the trees… it’s all part of what makes a place feel alive. ✨

🎙️Sound is more than background noise. It’s beauty, info, and mood all rolled into one.

🎧 So today, take a minute to really listen. You might be surprised by what you hear!
