🎵 Wrong Words Wednesday: I Want to Know What Gloves Is? 🧤🎶

Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is” is a heartfelt power ballad—but depending on your ears, it may have come across as:
“I want to know what gloves is…” 😅

Cozy sentiment? Sure. But not quite what the band had in mind.

🎧 Hearing Tip: If your brain’s swapping out “love” for “gloves,” it may be more than just a funny moment—it could be a sign of reduced speech clarity. Even mild hearing loss can affect how you process soft consonants like “v” and “f.”

At Legacy Audiology, we’ll help you hear love with crystal clarity. Whether it's lyrics or life’s important conversations, we’re here to keep you tuned in.

💬 What’s your favorite lyrical mix-up? Drop it below—we love to laugh with you!

A Tribute to the Prince of Darkness – Ozzy Osbourne 🎤🕊️

In honor of the legendary Ozzy Osbourne, we crank up the volume on one of his greatest hits: “Paranoid.”

🎶 Actual lyric:
"I tell you to enjoy life/ I wish I could be it's too late"
🧠 Misheard as:
"I tell you to end your life/I wish I could be it's too late"

Hey-when you can’t hear lyrics clearly, your brain fills in the blanks. And sometimes? The blanks get a little too dramatic.

Rest in power, Ozzy. The bats, the doves, and the misheard lyrics will never forget you. 🦇🖤

🎵 Wrong Words Wednesday: Just Let Me State for the Record—We Have Ham and Peas? 🎵

Sister Sledge’s disco classic “We Are Family” is all about unity, but some folks have proudly sung:
“Just let me state for the record, we have ham and peas” instead of
“Just let me state for the record, we're giving love in a family dose.” 🐷🥦🎤

Hey, food brings people together too, right?

🎧 Hearing Tip: Mishearing lyrics—or turning heartfelt moments into potluck menus—can be a sign that your brain isn’t getting a full, clear signal from your ears. Hearing loss often starts subtly, and music is one of the first places people notice it.

At Legacy Audiology, we’ll help make sure you're hearing exactly what was meant to be heard—no ham or peas about it. Book your hearing check-up today and keep the music (and the meaning) crystal clear.

💬 Got a deliciously wrong lyric of your own? Share it in the comments—we’re hungry for more!

📞✨Whether you're catching up with a friend or managing your healthcare, clear phone communication can make all the difference. Here are some best practices—and what to do when the message gets muddled.✨📞

✅ Best Practices for Clear Phone Communication:

🔹 Speak Clearly & At a Comfortable Pace

Phones can distort sound. Speaking slowly and clearly helps your message come through.

🔹 Minimize Background Noise

Step away from loud environments when possible—background noise can overwhelm the conversation.

🔹 Repeat Key Information

Phone numbers, appointment times, or addresses? Say them twice to make sure they’re heard correctly.

🔹 Ask for Clarification

If something isn’t clear, it’s okay to say:

🗣️ “Could you repeat that, please?”
🗣️ “Just to confirm, did you say Tuesday at 2:15?”

🔹 Use Active Listening

Let the other person finish speaking. Then respond with a quick summary to show understanding:

🗣️ “So you’re recommending we follow up in 6 months?”
_____

🧠 When There’s a Communication Breakdown:

Advocate for Yourself

🔸 Say What You Need

If you’re having trouble hearing or understanding, speak up kindly:

🗣️ “I’m having a hard time hearing you—could you speak a bit more slowly?”

🗣️ “There’s some background noise on the line. Would you mind repeating that?”

🔸 Don’t Pretend to Understand

It’s okay to say, “I didn’t catch that last part,” or “Can you clarify what you meant?”

🔸 Ask for an Email or Written Follow-Up

When in doubt, request a summary in writing to avoid confusion:

✉️ “Would you mind emailing the details just to make sure I have everything right?”

💬 Clear communication builds trust, reduces mistakes, and makes everyone feel heard.

If you're someone with hearing loss or find phone conversations challenging, you’re not alone—and there are tools that can help. Captioned phones, phone amplifiers, or assistive apps might be part of the solution. Talk to your hearing care provider (👋) about your options!
