The holidays are joyful… but they can also be loud and that can leave your ears and your energy feeling drained.
Busy restaurants, overlapping conversations, holiday music, clattering dishes… your brain is working overtime to sort it all out. This is very common for anyone with tinnitus, hearing loss, or sound sensitivity.
You may notice:
• Feeling tired or overwhelmed
• Trouble following conversations
• A temporary spike in tinnitus
Nothing is wrong, your brain is simply doing more than usual.
A few holiday hearing tips:
• Take short quiet breaks
• Use gentle background sound
• Pace yourself in noisy rooms
If your ears feel “extra overwhelmed” this season, our Peoria team is here to help with a calm, supportive environment and zero holiday music on loop. ❤️
