❄️ Wellness Wednesday: Winter sickness & ear health ❄️

Cold and flu season can bring more than sniffles and sore throats — it can also lead to ear infections, pressure, and temporary hearing changes, especially in children and older adults.

A few simple wellness tips can help protect your ears this winter:
• Wash hands regularly to prevent the spread of illness
• Stay hydrated to help keep sinuses and ears clear
• Treat colds early to reduce congestion and pressure
• Don’t ignore ear pain, fullness, or sudden changes in hearing

Your ears are part of your overall health. Taking care of them during cold season helps you stay connected to the sounds and conversations that matter most.

Stay well, Oklahoma 💛

On International Thank You Day, we simply want to say… thank you. 💛

To our donors, partners, volunteers, researchers, supporters, and friends — 2025 was a year of connection, impact, and hope because of you. From expanding access to hearing health through our programs, to advancing research for the future, none of this would be possible without your generosity and belief in our mission.

From our HEI family to yours, thank you for walking this journey with us. We’re grateful for all that we’ve accomplished together — and excited for what’s ahead.

🎧 In case you missed it… our 2025 Wrapped just dropped!

This year’s “top hits” weren’t songs — they were stories.
Stories of impact made possible through research, teaching, and humanitarian programs, all because of our incredible supporters.

From free hearing aids for adults in need, to Oklahoma’s only Tinnitus Together Support Group, to future-focused research — 2025 was a year of connection, progress, and hope.

Thank you to our amazing donors and partners — our very own top listeners — who made it all possible.

“I thought no one would bother to help me. But they did.” 💛

At our 2025 Award Gala, Barbara Rubin shared her powerful story of living with both severe hearing loss and blindness — and how she believed she would never be able to afford the hearing aids she needed.

Through Hough Ear Institute’s HoughAid program, Barbara received free hearing aids and now says she has been given a second chance at life.

This is why we do what we do.
Because everyone deserves dignity, connection, and the chance to hear again.

✨ New Year, New Ears ✨
A new year is a great time to check in on your overall health — including your hearing.

Doctors recommend that adults have their hearing screened regularly, especially as we age. Many experts suggest a baseline hearing check by age 50, with follow-up screenings every few years — or annually if you’re exposed to loud noise or notice changes like ringing, asking people to repeat themselves, or trouble hearing in group settings.

Hearing health plays a powerful role in connection, communication, and quality of life. If you’re curious about where your hearing stands, we offer a free online hearing screening you can take anytime:

Happy New Year! 🎉
A new year brings fresh hope, new possibilities, and continued commitment to connection.

As we step into the year ahead, we remain focused on advancing hearing health through research, education, and humanitarian programs — working toward a future where all who have ears will hear.

Wishing you a year filled with health, joy, and meaningful moments.

As the year comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the impact you helped make possible.

In 2025, nearly 2,000 people in Oklahoma City and around the world were served through Hough Ear Institute programs — from Oklahoma’s only Tinnitus Together Support Group, to the state’s only program providing free hearing aids to adults in need, and through humanitarian and educational efforts that restore dignity and connection.

Alongside this direct impact, our teams spent thousands of hours advancing research focused on hearing health, tinnitus, and the relationship between hearing and brain health — work that looks toward the future and what’s possible for generations to come.

This work happens because of a community that believes hearing matters.
Thank you for being part of a year that made a difference.

A special thanks to our Research Partners who make this possible: The Chickasaw Nation and the Jasco Giving Hope Foundation (Jasco Products).

Today, on Christmas Day, we celebrate the final week of The Thursdays of Christmas with a song that says it all: Joy to the World. 🎄

This season — and throughout the year — our work is rooted in hope. Through research, teaching, and humanitarian programs, we strive to bring joy through connection, sound, and restored hearing to people around the world.

As we celebrate Christmas, we’re grateful for everyone who has supported this mission. If giving is part of your holiday plans today, a year-end gift helps carry this joy into the year ahead.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with peace, gratitude, and joy.
