🔊 Tinnitus keeping you up or tuning you out? Good news: hearing aids aren't just for hearing loss, they're also a powerful tool for tinnitus relief.✨

🦻Whether your hearing is mild, moderate (or totally normal!), today’s hearing aids can help reduce the impact of tinnitus and let you focus on what really matters.
How do hearing aids help with tinnitus?

✔️ They amplify everyday sounds (like the hum of your fridge or the breeze outside), giving your brain something else to focus on.

✔️ Over time, they can help retrain your brain to tune out those annoying ringing or buzzing sounds.

✔️ Many come with built-in masking features that you can customize to your comfort (think: ocean 🌊 waves or white noise)

⚒️ Tinnitus doesn’t have to control your life. With the right tools and support, real relief is possible.

🤔 Curious about your options? We’re here to help you hear better and feel better. Contact us today 989-773-1209 to schedule your consultation!

Um, what?
I recently came across an article in The New Yorker that discussed an intriguing new technology for my patients with severe to profound hearing loss. The story covered an innovative solution, XanderGlasses, aka Smart glasses, that caption conversations in real time!
💬 XanderGlasses are innovative smart glasses that transcribe spoken words into real-time captions, displayed directly in the wearer's field of vision. These glasses display speech as text right in your line of sight, no phone, app, or internet required. This allows individuals with hearing challenges to "see" conversations as they happen, enhancing understanding and participation in various social settings. This simplicity means users can engage in conversations without the distraction of looking down at a device, maintaining natural eye contact and social cues. 👀
It will be interesting to see how this works. I want to get my hands on a pair!
At Allied Hearing, we aim to stay up to date on the latest technologies and advancements that will help our patients live life to the fullest. If you’re curious to learn more about solutions tailored to your listening needs, please reach out to us! 989-773-1209 or visit our website for more information at www.alliedhearing.com.

☀️ One of my favorite summer memories? Every year during Independence Day, the local lake association, where our cabin resides, gathers those who would like to participate in a boat parade. The one with the most cohesive design wins. One year, I (Alexa, PCC) dressed up like Lady Liberty and was the fixture of our boat that year. My favorite part was hearing my family's excitement as we saw other boats pass by that were a part of the contest. We didn't win that year, and that's ok. What mattered was the connection that my family and I shared in the experience. 🌊
👂 Hearing isn’t just about volume. It’s about connection, presence, and being part of the moments that matter. If you know a family member is missing pieces of their summer memories, whether it's their grandkids' questions or tiny footprints, please let them know that you're not alone.
🤝 I’m here to help, without pressure or judgment. Just guidance, compassion, and a real conversation about what’s right for you.
📲Let’s reconnect you to the sounds of summer. Contact us today to schedule an appointment! 989-773-1209 or visit our website at www.alliedhearing.com for more information.

🎶🎆 There is AT LEAST one person per summer who comes in complaining of decreased hearing or ringing after attending a loud event.

👂 If your ears are ringing, your hearing feels muffled, or sounds just aren’t as clear as they were yesterday…you might be experiencing temporary hearing damage.

💬 If your hearing doesn’t bounce back after a few days, please don’t ignore it. Getting a hearing test can help determine if there’s been lasting damage, and what to do next.

🚨 Your ears don’t come with a warning light, but these symptoms are the warning. Let’s make sure you’re not ignoring something that needs attention. Please reach out to us right away, there is a limited time to help you if you had a severe temporary threshold shift!

👉 These are warning signs that your ears were exposed to noise levels beyond what they can safely handle! And while temporary symptoms can fade in a day or two, sometimes they don’t, and that’s when it’s time to check in.

🛠️👂DIYers, weekend warriors, power tool pros…this post is for YOU!

⚠️ PSA: That quick weekend project could be putting your hearing at risk without you even realizing it. Power tools may feel like second nature by now, but their noise levels are anything but safe. According to the World Health Organization, sounds above 80 dB can cause permanent hearing damage with prolonged exposure. And guess what? Many of your go-to tools blow right past that.

Common Tool Decibel Levels:
⚙️ Belt Sander – 102 dB
🪚 Circular Saw – 107 dB (some up to 111 dB!)
💥 Grinder – 100 dB
🔨 Hammer Drill – 102 dB
🪚 Jig Saw – 100 dB
🔪 Miter Saw – 103 dB
😬 …just to name a few!

🎧 Pro Tip: Before you grab your tools, grab your earplugs or earmuffs. Custom hearing protection is also available if you want something ultra-comfortable and reusable!

📌 Save this post as a reminder and tag a fellow DIYer who needs to hear this (literally).

Keep building cool stuff. Just don’t damage your hearing in the process.
