Wellness Wednesday 💚 | This month we are focusing on Dual Sensory Loss

By 2030, an estimated 14 million Americans are expected to develop dual sensory loss—the combined loss of hearing and vision.

When one sense changes, the other becomes even more vital. When both are affected, everyday tasks, safety, communication, and quality of life can be significantly impacted.

Risk factors for dual sensory loss include:
👵 Aging (risk increases significantly after age 60)
🦻 Untreated hearing loss
👁️ Eye conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy
🩸 Diabetes and cardiovascular disease
🤕 History of stroke or traumatic brain injury
🧬 Genetic conditions
🔊 Prolonged noise exposure
🚬 Smoking
👩⚕️ Limited access to routine hearing and vision care

The good news? Early detection matters.

Routine hearing and vision screenings can help identify changes sooner, support independence, and improve overall quality of life.

This Wellness Wednesday, ask yourself:
👉 Am I protecting both my hearing and my vision?

Wellness Wednesday 🔔

As we wrap up our December focus on tinnitus, here’s an encouraging fact! Treating hearing loss can often help reduce tinnitus symptoms.

When the brain doesn’t receive enough sound input due to hearing loss, it can “fill in the gaps” by creating phantom sounds — what we experience as tinnitus. By amplifying real sounds through hearing aids or other treatment options, the brain has less need to create that background noise.

Many people notice their tinnitus becomes less noticeable or easier to manage once their hearing is properly supported. 👂💫

If you’ve been living with both hearing loss and tinnitus, a comprehensive hearing evaluation is a great place to start.

The first day of winter is here ❄️ and with it come snowy sidewalks and icy driveways. We know how easy it can be to lose your footing this time of year.

Good hearing is one of your body’s best tools for balance and awareness, helping you catch those subtle sounds of approaching cars, crunchy snow, or a loved one calling out.

If it’s been a while since your last hearing check, now’s the perfect time to schedule one. Stay steady, stay safe, and enjoy all the cozy sounds of the season.

Wellness Wednesday 🔔

Ever wonder what causes that constant ringing or buzzing in your ears? Tinnitus can have many different triggers — and identifying the root cause is key to finding relief.

Common causes include:
🎸 Noise exposure from concerts, power tools, or fi****ms
🦻 Hearing loss (age-related or sudden)
🕯️ Earwax buildup that blocks the ear canal
💊 Certain medications like aspirin, antibiotics, or chemotherapy drugs
🩺 Health conditions such as high blood pressure, TMJ, or head and neck injuries

Because tinnitus is a symptom, not a condition, addressing the underlying cause can often help reduce its impact. 👂

Earlier this month we talked about noisy toys… but what about the everyday items already in your home? 👀🍳

Kitchen appliances like blenders, food processors, and coffee grinders can reach surprisingly high volume levels. While they won’t typically cause immediate or irreversible damage, prolonged or repeated exposure can still add up over time.

If you’re blending, grinding, or mixing for longer stretches, consider covering your ears or using hearing protection! 👩🍳

Wellness Wednesday 🔔

Tinnitus doesn’t always sound the same for everyone. It might be a ringing, buzzing, humming, hissing, roaring, or even whooshing sound that only you can hear.

It’s important to know that tinnitus isn’t a condition itself, but rather a symptom of something else, like hearing loss, exposure to loud noise, earwax buildup, or even certain medications.

Understanding what’s behind the sound is the first step toward finding relief and protecting your hearing health. 👂

Wellness Wednesday 🔔
As we head into December, we’re turning our focus to tinnitus — that persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming sound that only you can hear.

Tinnitus affects an estimated 25 million Americans on a regular basis. It can range from a mild occasional annoyance to a constant sound that impacts sleep, focus, and quality of life.

👂 If you notice ringing in your ears, it is time to schedule a hearing evaluation to help identify the cause and explore management options.

It is Safe Toys and Gifts month! 🧸

We know loud toys can be fun, but they can also pose a real risk to a child’s hearing. Many popular toys exceed safe sound levels, especially when held close to the ear.

Prolonged or repeated exposure to noise over 85 decibels can cause permanent hearing damage, even in young children.

Swipe to learn more about noisy toys to look out for and how to tell if a toy is too loud before you head out holiday shopping this year! 🎁
