We were proud to sponsor the inaugural poker tournament hosted by the Yelm Rotary Club ♠️♥️♣️♦️

What an incredible turnout and a huge success — all to support their youth programs right here in our community. Investing in kids is investing in the future, and we’re honored to play a small part in that mission.

Complete Hearing & Balance had two players representing us at the tables. While they didn’t take home the tournament trophy, they absolutely won when it came to connection — meeting amazing people in Yelm, building new relationships, and having a whole lot of fun along the way.

We love showing up for our community — both inside and outside the clinic.
….And speaking of Yelm… our Yelm clinic is officially open for business on Thursdays!
If you or someone you love needs hearing or balance care, call us at 360-704-7900 to schedule an appointment in our Yelm location.

Here’s to community, connection, and supporting our local youth 💙

Today I had the privilege of speaking at the 14th annual Seattle Otology & Rhinology (SOAR) conference The audience was a room full of otologists & I spoke about cochlear implant candidacy.

As a private practice audiologist, these conversations matter deeply to me.

Because candidacy isn’t just a checklist.
It’s not just a hearing test.
It’s not just a referral.
It’s not just a treatment option.

It’s access.
It’s advocacy.
It’s making sure patients understand all of their options — including cochlear implantation — without delay or gatekeeping.

From the private practice side, we see patients longitudinally. We see the frustration before they’re referred. We see the missed opportunities. And we have the responsibility to bridge that gap.

When surgeons value audiologists as strategic partners in identification, counseling, and long-term outcomes, the entire care model strengthens.

Grateful to collaborate with brilliant physicians who recognize that audiology isn’t ancillary… it’s foundational.

This is how we move the standard of care forward.

Regular exercise keeps your heart strong and blood flowing to your brain and ears. That circulation supports both hearing and memory.

It doesn’t have to be strenuous to be beneficial, a large study finds

Your hearing and your heart are part of the same story when it comes to your overall health. When one changes, it can be worth taking a closer look at the other. https://bit.ly/40gVeCN

Tinnitus Awareness Week is the perfect time to learn why you might be hearing ringing or buzzing that others cannot. Understanding how your brain creates these sounds is the first step toward finding some peace and quiet.

Tinnitus is defined as the experience of hearing sound without an external, acoustic source. While it is commonly referred to as “ringing in the ears,” tinnitus can also be described as buzzing, hissing, whistling, swooshing, and clicking.
