🦃 Happy Thanksgiving! 🥧

🍂 This season always reminds me to slow down and reflect on the things that matter most. At Finger Lakes Audiology, here’s what we’re thankful for:

💛 Our patients, who trust us with their hearing health.
👂 The “aha!” moments when someone hears clearly again.
🤝 The kindness, laughter, and stories shared in our office every day.
🏡 And the chance to be part of this amazing community.

We’d love to hear from you…what’s one thing you’re thankful for this year?

Please share in the comments and let’s spread a little extra gratitude together.

👓 Ever grabbed a pair of “cheater” reading glasses off the rack? They might work fine for menus and quick fixes, but they’re not the same as prescription lenses tailored to your eyes.

🦻 Hearing works the same way!

📣 OTC (over-the-counter) hearing aids are like cheaters:
One-size-fits-most
Designed for mild hearing loss
Limited customization
You’re on your own for setup & troubleshooting

🦻 Prescription-fit hearing aids (what I fit as an audiologist with 17 years of experience):
Customized for your exact hearing loss
Professionally programmed and verified (we make sure they work for you)
Ongoing support, adjustments, and follow-up care
Designed for long-term hearing health, not just a quick fix

✨ OTC devices can be a starting point, but for many people, they don’t go far enough. Hearing is too important to leave to guesswork!

If you’ve been wondering which option is right for you, I’d be happy to walk you through it. Your ears (and the people you love hearing most) deserve clarity.

You might be surprised to hear this…

👀 I actually don’t see a lot of hearing aids come into our practice that were bought online or at a local pharmacy.

I know the ads and commercials are everywhere…it can feel like you can’t scroll for 5 minutes without seeing “miracle hearing aids” or “just order online” solutions.

But here’s the reality I see in my practice: most people end up choosing a prescription solution. Why? Because hearing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Just because something is popping up all over your feed doesn’t mean it’s the best fit for you.

👍 With prescription hearing aids, we look at your unique type and degree of hearing loss, program the devices to your needs, and make sure you’ve got follow-up care and support. That’s something a box from the internet just can’t provide.

✨ I’m glad my patients see through the noise and choose care that’s built for them.

Like many things in life, earwax is all about balance.

A little earwax = protection, moisture, and dust defense ✅
Too much earwax = muffled sound, discomfort, & frustration 🚨

🎧 Headphones on all day?
🦻 Hearing aids in use?

Leave the cleanup to us. Safe, professional, and stress-free!

POV: your audiologist says your hearing aids are at 80% of the total volume you need… and you’re thinking, “Wait… you mean they could get LOUDER?! 😳”

Fear not. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had patients say, “There’s no way I’ll want these any louder.” Fast-forward two weeks… they walk back in with a smile, feeling more confident, and say… “Okay, I’m ready…turn them up!” 😏

That’s because your brain is amazingly plastic and can adapt to new sounds over time.

And I've got plenty of options to make that transition easier:
✨ Gradual adaptation: gradually build to 100% of your prescribed volume
🎚 Volume control: adjust as you need! (even from an app on your phone!)
🤖 Auto-acclimate: the software can gently increase volume for you each time you wear them (no work required on your part!)

My goal? To make your hearing aid journey a positive, comfortable, and personalized experience. After all, you should have a say in what works best for your listening needs. 💬

Because better hearing isn’t a one-time switch. It's a process, and I'm here to walk with you through every step. 🤍

🎗️ World Diabetes Day 🎗️

Most people know diabetes can affect the eyes, the heart, and the kidneys… but did you know it can also affect your ears? 👂

Research shows that people with diabetes are twice as likely to experience hearing loss. Why? Changes in blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels and nerves in the inner ear, making it harder to pick up sound.

🩺That’s why caring for your overall health also means caring for your hearing health. ✨

👂Today is a great reminder: if you’re living with diabetes, add a hearing check to your wellness routine. Your ears (and your loved ones) will thank you.

“What are my options? ”

Once amplification is recommended, this is the first thing patients ask me!

The truth is, there isn’t one perfect solution for everyone. Your options depend on a few key things:
👂 Type of hearing loss: different kinds of loss may need different types of devices
📉 How much hearing loss you have: mild vs. severe loss can call for very different solutions
✨ Your lifestyle: not all of my patients have the same lifestyle, some are more active than others

As an audiologist, my role is to guide you through the process and help you feel confident in your decision. Because this journey isn’t just about “fixing your ears.” It’s about helping you reconnect with the people and moments you love most!

This was supposed to post yesterday. I apologize for the mix up.

On Veteran's day we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Your courage, sacrifices, and devotion to protecting our freedom deserve more than words. They deserve our deepest gratitude.
At Finger Lakes Audiology, we are proud to stand alongside our veterans, not just today, but every day.

From all of us: thank you. ❤️🤍💙

👂 “Why don’t mummies have time to fix their hearing?”

🧻 Because they’re too wrapped up in other things! 😄

🎃 Happy Halloween from your friendly neighborhood audiologist! Whether you're dodging jump scares or trying to hear tiny trick-or-treaters yell “BOO!” from behind their masks, I hope your day is filled with sweet sounds and even sweeter candy.

🕷️ And remember: the only thing scarier than ghosts and goblins…
is untreated hearing loss. 😱 We’re always here to keep the boo-tiful sounds of life loud and clear.

Stay spooky, stay safe, and don’t ghost your hearing health! 👻

Fall is for family 🍂

🍁 The sound of grandkids laughing in the leaves.
🍽️ The clink of dishes during Sunday dinner.
💬 Sharing memories from the week while gathered at the table.

These are the sounds that make fall feel like home. 🏡

But I hear it all the time…
👉 “I can’t hear my daughter when she calls from the kitchen.”
👉 “I missed the punchline of the joke and just nodded along.”
👉 “I didn’t realize how quiet life had gotten.”
If hearing loss has been creeping in, let’s do something about it together. 🦻💛

Because every season is better when you’re connected to the people you love most.

💬 Please reach out to us to schedule a hearing check.

I heard this the other day, “My hearing isn’t bad enough yet…”

🤔 A common thought…but one that could be holding you back.

⌛ Hearing loss often happens slowly. Depriving your brain of speech sounds.
So slowly that you may not notice how much you’re missing, until it starts affecting your relationships and confidence.

👍 Early treatment = better outcomes. Every time!

The sooner we address it, the more we can protect your brain, your connections, and your quality of life. 🧠You don’t need to wait for a “breaking point.” Even mild hearing loss deserves care.

Curious where you stand? Please reach out to us…no pressure, just honest answers!

MY FAVORITE FALL THINGS 🍂

☕ Crisp mornings with coffee on the porch.
🍂 Crunching leaves under my boots.
🧑‍🍳 That first pot of chili on the stove.
🔥 Bonfires with friends
🏈 And of course, football weekends

Fall is full of sound, from laughter around the fire to the rustle of leaves.
If those sounds are starting to feel a little more muffled this year, maybe it’s time for a hearing check. 🍁 Tell me…what’s on your fall list this year?
