From our point of view, we see hearing screenings as a really helpful first step - kind of like a “check engine” light. ⚠️ They don’t tell us everything, but they do tell us when it’s time to look closer.

A simple screening can be the first step toward answers. However, a diagnostic test helps us see the FULL PICTURE! 📸 Give us a call today to schedule your diagnostic hearing evaluation!

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)

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.

According to new research from the American Academy of Otolaryngology, 1 in 8 adolescents shows signs of hearing damage by age 18.

As an audiologist, this statistic is alarming but unfortunately not surprising…

🎧 Noise exposure from earbuds, concerts, and even everyday environments is taking a toll on young ears. Early education and hearing protection are more important than ever.

Let’s protect your kids! When was the last time the kids in your family had a full hearing exam?

Here’s something many people don’t realize: hearing loss and cognitive decline may actually share a common cause.

Things like aging, oxidative stress, or changes in brain structure can affect both hearing and brain function at the same time.

This is known as the Co-Morbidity Theory, and it’s one of the reasons we look at the whole picture when we assess your hearing.

Brain scans show that adults with hearing loss experience faster rates of brain shrinkage, especially in areas tied to memory and speech processing. (Source: Peelle et al., 2011)

Say what? Yes, you heard that right…caring for your hearing is one step toward protecting your brain health, too.
