👂 Did you know? Sometimes the best hearing care means involving more than one expert.

As an audiologist, my role is to diagnose, fit, and manage hearing loss [include balance if needed], but there are times when a trusted ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat physician) needs to be part of the journey.

📋 Examples include:

Medical clearance before getting hearing aids

Treating chronic ear infections

Addressing ear pain or drainage

Considering surgical options like cochlear implants or bone-anchored devices

While I don’t perform surgery, we work closely with trusted ENTs, ensuring you always feel supported. Think of it as a team approach: your hearing health is in the best hands!

🔇 Tinnitus tip: What NOT to Do! 🚫

If you have tinnitus, you might think that avoiding noise and sitting in total silence will help. After all, you’re already hearing ringing, buzzing, or whooshing. Why add more sound?

❌ Wrong! In fact, silence can make tinnitus worse. When your environment is too quiet, your brain has nothing else to focus on except the tinnitus, making it seem louder, more bothersome, and more intrusive.

What to do instead? Avoid silent spaces! Try:
🎶 Playing soft music
🌊 Using a white noise machine
🌀 Turning on a fan
🌿 Opening a window to let in natural sounds

🧠 Giving your brain something else to listen to can help take the focus off your tinnitus, making it less noticeable and less frustrating. Need more tinnitus management tips? We’re here to help!

Thinking about cleaning your ears at home? Stop. Please don’t!..

We’ve all seen those flashy at-home earwax removal tools online: scoops, cameras, lights… It looks like a fun gadget. But here’s the truth: they can actually do more harm than good. 😬

Here’s why DIY earwax removal is risky:

❌ You could injure your eardrum or ear canal.

❌ Wax can get pushed deeper, making things worse.

❌ You can’t confirm it’s completely removed.

Your ears deserve safe, professional care…not a social media experiment. 👂✨

If you’re dealing with wax buildup, let us handle it safely!

📺 Happy World TV Day!

Let’s be honest…TV has a way of bringing us together: family movie nights, Sunday football, that one show you swore you’d only watch one episode of (and then binged the whole season 🙃).

But here’s the kicker… when hearing loss sneaks in, suddenly the volume’s at 40, captions are always on, and your family’s giving you the look. 👀

👂 Hearing well isn’t just about keeping up with conversations. It’s about enjoying the little things, like laughing along with your favorite characters or actually catching the referee’s call during the big game.

So today, celebrate TV the way it was meant to be heard: clear, connected, and without complaints from the couch. 🛋️

🥧🍗 Holiday gatherings can get loud (and not just from Uncle Bob’s football commentary). If you’ve got a loved one with hearing loss, here are some easy ways to make the table feel more welcoming:

👂 Turn down the background noise
TV off, turkey carving on. The game can wait until after pie.

👥 One at a time, please
Think “family meeting,” not “rowdy debate club.” Overlapping voices = loud chaos. (We appreciate for some families this is easier said than done 😆)

🗣️ Speak clearly (not louder)
No need to yell across the table, it’s not an auction! Face them and let your expressions help.

🍽️ Strategic seating
Put them next to the family member who is patient and includes everyone…not next to the loud cousin who dominates conversation.

♻️ Rephrase instead of repeat
If “pass the gravy” didn’t land, try “hand me that saucy stuff.” Fresh wording works better than shouting the same line again.

Little tweaks = big difference. Because holidays should be about connection, not
confusion. 💛

Keep your ears happy and your hearing aids comfy! 😌

Tinnitus is the formal term for hearing sounds in your ears that aren’t actually in your environment. It can sound different for each person:

🔔 ringing
🐝 buzzing
🌊 roaring
🎵 humming
🐞 crickets

For some, it’s constant. For others, it comes and goes. Some can ignore it. But for many, it’s bothersome and impossible to tune out.

Here’s the tough part: many people are discouraged when they’re told there’s no cure for tinnitus.

✨Here’s the hopeful part: there are many things we CAN do to help you cope with those pesky sounds. At HearWell Center, we tailor treatment to YOU. Some common options include:

🦻 Hearing aids (with or without masking noise)
🧠 Cognitive behavioral therapy
🎧 Sound therapy
🎶 Neuromodulation therapy

If tinnitus has been getting in the way of your daily life, you don’t have to just live with it. Schedule an appointment today, and we’ll work together to make it more manageable.

👂 Here’s the scoop: Earwax isn’t just “gross stuff” in your ears… It’s actually your body’s natural way of protecting your ear canal from dirt, dust, and bacteria. 🛡️

It can vary in color and texture:

🟡 Light yellow & soft: normal!

🟠 Darker & sticky: your ear’s been busy trapping debris

🟤 Hard & flaky: sometimes it can build up and need professional help

No matter the type, earwax removal is safest with a professional. Don’t poke around at home, your ears will thank you! 😌

🎗️ World Diabetes Day 🎗️

Most people know diabetes can affect the eyes, the heart, and the kidneys… but did you know it can also affect your ears? 👂

Research shows that people with diabetes are twice as likely to experience hearing loss. Why? Changes in blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels and nerves in the inner ear, making it harder to pick up sound.

🩺That’s why caring for your overall health also means caring for your hearing health. ✨

👂Today is a great reminder: if you’re living with diabetes, add a hearing check to your wellness routine. Your ears (and your loved ones) will thank you.

💡 Smart homes aren’t always so “smart” for people with hearing loss.

I recently read an article about how smart home tech (things like doorbells, voice
assistants, and security systems) often miss the mark for people with hearing
challenges.

And honestly? It’s true.

🔈So many of these devices are built around SOUND. They listen, they beep, they
ding. But for people who rely more on visual or tactile cues, those alerts don’t
always come through. You shouldn’t have to guess whether your doorbell rang or if
Alexa actually heard you!

💬As someone who works with hearing technology every day, I believe
accessibility means options: lights that flash, alerts that vibrate, captions, and
systems designed to meet you where you are…not the other way around.

If you’ve been frustrated with your smart home devices or wondering what options
could work better for you, please contact us. I’m happy to help you find solutions
that truly fit your needs!
