National Protect Your Hearing Month is observed every October to raise awareness about noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and its prevention. The month encourages learning about the causes of hearing damage, such as loud recreational activities and unsafe headphone use, and promotes protective strategies like using hearing protection, moving away from loud noises, and turning down the volume.

One of Our Most Memorable Patients in Guatemala: Meet Emely

On one of our final days at Hospital de la Familia, we met a remarkable young girl named Emely and her devoted mother.

Emely had been scheduled for a hearing test in Guatemala City—a crucial step in getting her the support she needs for her autism. But when the test was suddenly canceled, it threatened to delay her access to critical resources.

Not willing to give up, Emely’s mother found out that Hospital de la Familia might be able to help. Without hesitation, they drove nearly eight hours to reach our team.

The test Emely needed is called an Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR), which requires anesthesia and gives a detailed picture of a patients hearing. Dr. Jen Phelan performed the test and Emely passed with beautifully defined waveforms.

Thanks to this test and the tireless dedication of the HDLF team, Emely is now on track to receive the support she needs to better understand and engage with the world around her.

Antonia, a businesswoman in Guatemala, has faced her share of health challenges.

As an adult, she was diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure—major changes that she and her husband had to learn to manage together. Meanwhile, her hearing had been slowly declining, though not enough to raise alarm.

That changed suddenly when her blood pressure spiked, causing a blood vessel to burst in her ear and worsening her hearing loss. When she saw her doctor, the news came with a shock: if the vessel hadn’t burst in her ear, it likely would’ve ruptured in her brain. In a twist of fate, her hearing loss may have saved her life.

When Antonia met our team at Hospital de la Familia, she found more than support—she found solutions and regained some of her hearing. For Antonia and her husband, this moment was more than just progress—it was a powerful sign of new beginnings, reconnection, and an abundance of thankfulness.

Rene’s smile says it all.

He lived with hearing loss for years, searching for something—anything—to improve his hearing. A doctor once told him nothing could be done for his left ear. He’d have to live with limited hearing, and that was that.

Then one day, while visiting Hospital de la Familia for vision care, Rene heard about our audiology team visiting in the coming months. It was a second chance—one he didn’t think he’d ever get.

What he received wasn’t just hearing aids alone. He got back what he was told he’d lost forever: the ability to preserve his hearing.

A day that started with cautious hope ended in gratitude that will last a lifetime.
