🎉 June Patient of the Month – Karen T. 🎉
(Better late than never to celebrate someone so special!)

This month, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Karen T., who’s been part of our Affiliated Audiology Consultants family for an incredible 20 years. Living with hearing loss isn’t always easy, but Karen handles it with so much strength, positivity, and kindness — we truly love seeing her walk through our doors.

Here’s what Karen had to say:

“Finding an audiologist can be very challenging and frustrating. Twenty years ago I was fortunate to find Affiliated Audiology Consultants — my only regret is not finding them sooner. The doctors and staff are very caring and attentive. I was born with inherited nerve impairment hearing loss, which can be challenging to live with. Affiliated Audiology has been a God send!”

Karen, thank you for trusting us all these years and for being such a wonderful part of our community. We’re so lucky to know you — and we’re looking forward to many more years together! 💙

👂❌ Debunking 5 Common Ear Wax Myths! ❌👂

Myth 1️⃣: 'Q-tips are the best way to clean ear wax.' False! Cotton swabs can push wax deeper and cause blockages.

Myth 2️⃣: 'You should clean your ears every day.' Nope! Your ears are self-cleaning. Overcleaning can strip protective oils.

Myth 3️⃣: 'Ear wax means you're dirty.' Not true! Wax traps dirt and debris, showcasing its natural cleaning role.

Myth 4️⃣: 'Candles can remove ear wax.' Dangerous! Ear candling can lead to burns and worsen blockages.

Myth 5️⃣: 'Hard wax is a sign of a problem.' False! Ear wax consistency varies, and discomfort is the real indicator.

Want to dive deeper into ear health? We're here to help you learn more about proper care and maintaining clear hearing. Let's separate fact from fiction and take care of our ears wisely.
