National Wellness Month: Hearing Edition

🎧 Are both my ears affected equally?

Great question — and the answer is: Not always.
Many people experience asymmetrical hearing loss, where one ear hears better than the other. This can be caused by things like:
• Noise exposure
• Ear infections
• Earwax buildup
• Underlying medical conditions

Even a small difference between ears can affect how you localize sound, understand speech in noise, or stay balanced.

💡 Your ears are a team — if one struggles, the other has to work harder.

That’s why regular hearing checks are a vital part of your overall wellness routine. Make an appointment at Placid Audiology today by calling (518) 523-0090 .

We often get asked, “What are the different types of hearing loss?”

Let’s break it down:

🔊 Conductive Hearing Loss
Caused by problems in the outer or middle ear — like earwax buildup, infections, or fluid. Often temporary and treatable.

🎧 Sensorineural Hearing Loss
The most common type. This involves damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve — often permanent and usually treated with hearing aids.

🔁 Mixed Hearing Loss
A combination of conductive and sensorineural. It means both the outer/middle and inner ear are affected.

👂 No matter the type, understanding your hearing loss is the first step to better hearing — and better living.

Make an appointment at Placid Audiology to get your hearing checked today by calling (518) 523-0090 and take control of your wellness.

🛑 Can hearing loss be prevented?
✅ Yes — and it starts with a few simple habits!

👂 Your hearing is worth protecting for life. Here’s how:
🔇 Avoid loud noises when you can
🎧 Use headphones safely — keep volume below 60%
🛠️ Wear ear protection in noisy environments
🚭 Quit smoking — it affects circulation to the ears

👂✨ Ear Cleaning: What Your Audiologist Wants You to Know ✨👂

We all want clean ears — but did you know that improper ear cleaning can actually cause more harm than good?

🔹 Avoid using cotton swabs deep inside your ear canal — they can push wax further in or cause injury.
🔹 Earwax is natural and protective! It traps dust and keeps your ears healthy.
🔹 If you feel discomfort, fullness, or reduced hearing, it might be time for a professional ear cleaning.

At Placid Audiology, our audiologists safely remove earwax buildup and check your hearing health, ensuring your ears stay clean and healthy.

✨ Don’t risk your hearing with DIY methods — trust the experts.

Book a safe ear cleaning appointment today and give your ears the care they deserve!
