We are incredibly proud of Dr. Tracy Murphy and Dr. Kristie Trester for their outstanding contributions at this week’s American Academy of Audiology Conference in San Antonio.

Many people with untreated hearing loss begin to withdraw socially. Not because they want to, but because listening becomes exhausting. Reduced social interaction means less stimulation for the brain. Staying connected supports both emotional and cognitive health. Addressing hearing loss can help people re-engage with the conversations and moments that matter the most.

“I can hear you, I just can’t remember what you said” This is something we hear often, and sometimes, hearing loss is part of the picture. When words are missed or unclear, the brain never fully receives the information to store it as a memory. Addressing hearing loss can help improve clarity, confidence, and understanding.

Did You Know: Hearing loss not only affects the ears, but the brain as well. When hearing loss goes untreated, the brain has to work harder to make sense of sound - leaving fewer resources for memory and thinking. Supporting hearing health is one important way to support brain health as we age.

North Shore Audiology Gives Back to Our Community

North Shore Audiology Consultants is proud to be a positive contributor to our community. We are always looking for ways to give back and this past week, we were able to do just that:

Ava is a teacher in the North Shore of Chicago. She has been committed to caring for and nurturing the development of young children. Unfortunately, significant hearing loss has impacted her daily life for many years. Her success depends on hearing even the smallest of sounds. We couldn’t think of a more deserving individual for top of the line hearing aids!

Dr. Kristie Trester helped transform Ava’s life several years ago and last week, in partnership with Widex, she had the opportunity to gift brand new Widex Moment Sheer™ hearing aids. We are so honored to help Ava improve her hearing and live a fuller life!

Ava says, "Having Widex hearing aids is such a blessing. I can hear better and perform in my job better. I can hear clearly as people talk and am able to distinguish where the sound is coming from. As a preschool teacher, it is important to me to hear young children, parents and co teachers in and out of the classroom. The hearing aid is so efficient that it gave back my confidence at work. The sound is so good. Also, I can adjust the mode/level of sound from my phone to minimize the peripheral or unnecessary sounds, making people’s voice more dominant. My daughter was also impressed with the way I can hear her better. She does not need to repeat words whenever I talk to her.

I look forward to having a special microphone which I can use when having group meetings or conferences.

Thank you to Widex and to my kind hearted audiologist, Kristie, for helping me to be a better teacher and mother by having the Widex hearing aid. It sure is a wonderful gift on my birthday. May Widex help more people like me to bring back their self-confidence."
