📺We’re excited to share a game-changing update we recently read on TechRadar: LG’s 2025 OLED and QNED TVs now support Bluetooth Auracast, a free firmware upgrade enabling simultaneous audio streaming to multiple headphones or hearing aids from one TV!

Here’s why it matters and why we think it’s a huge win for our patients and community:

🎧 Shared listening made easy: With Auracast, families can each use their own headphones or hearing aids at their ideal volume, no more compromise on sounds! Imagine watching a movie late at night without disturbing your partner, or grandparents being able to clearly catch every word without cranking up the TV.

👂For your local audiology practice, this excites us because it signals a shift toward normalizing assistive tech. Making it seamless, stylish, and user-friendly.

🤔If you’re curious how Auracast could enhance your home listening setup, or want to see if your hearing aids are compatible, please call us to start the discussion. Let’s bring your entertainment and your quality of life, to the next level! ✨

Hearing aids need TLC, too 🦻

👓 Just like your glasses need polishing to see clearly, your hearing aids benefit from regular attention to help you hear clearly.

⚠️ Over time, dust, moisture, wax, or tiny debris can sneak into microphones or receivers and affect sound quality, sometimes without you even noticing (SNEAKY!). If things seem a little “off,” it might not be your ears, it could be your devices!

🛠️ The fix? A little routine maintenance. Whether it’s a quick cleaning, a new wax trap, or just peace of mind, a clean & check appointment can make all the difference.

🧬 A recent article in LaBiotech explored a groundbreaking development: regenerative cell therapy could actually restore hearing (not just amplify it)!

🔬 Scientists are working with stem cells to create new hair cells and auditory neurons in the inner ear. One biotech frontrunner, Rinri Therapeutics, is advancing Rincell‑1, a therapy designed to regenerate the damaged sensory cells responsible for hearing.

Simon Chandler (CEO of Rinri Therapeutics) shares, “We are taking the approach of transplanting in cells that can become functional mature cells and restore the cytoarchitecture of the inner ear, and therefore, restore hearing.” Early studies suggest even transitioning from “profound deafness to conversational hearing” could be possible!

🧪 There are still many hurdles including: conducting human trials, figuring out the best cell types, delivery methods, and ensuring safety. But experts believe the next five years could bring major breakthroughs. 🕵️

💡Why is this exciting for our field? Individuals with hearing loss rely on hearing aids or implants for treatment, but what if a future solution could actually RESTORE natural hearing?

At Kenwood Hearing Centers, we stay current on all the latest advancements in the hearing world! We’re curious to follow the journey from lab bench to clinic.

🏥 Did you know that in the US, medical care for patients with chronic balance disorders costs over $1 billion every year?

Falls are the leading cause of accidental death and injury for adults aged 65 and older. Shockingly, 33% of older adults experience a fall each year, but only HALF of them talk to their doctor about it.

Several factors contribute to this risk, including:
👀 Decreased vision
💪 Reduced muscle strength
⚖️ An aging balance system

These combined changes make it harder to stay steady on your feet and increase the chance of falls and injuries.

If you or a loved one struggles with dizziness, unsteadiness, or falls, don’t wait to seek help. Early care can prevent serious injury and improve quality of life.

🍂Hello, Fall! 🍁

The air is cooler, the days are cozier, and the sounds of autumn are officially back!

🍂 Crisp leaves crunching underfoot
🔥 Crackling bonfires
🏈 Cheers from Friday night football games
☕ Steaming cups of coffee and cozy conversation
🌧️ Rain tapping softly on the windows

Fall has a sound all its own, and we want to make sure you’re hearing every bit of it.
If you feel like you’re missing those subtle seasonal sounds, it might be time for a hearing check. Let’s help you stay connected to all the things you love most about autumn. 🍂

Dizziness? Vertigo? Disequilibrium? What’s the difference? Let’s break it down:

😵‍💫 Dizziness is a general feeling of lightheadedness, faintness, or unsteadiness (like you might pass out or just feel off balance).

🌀 Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness where you or your surroundings feel like they’re moving or spinning. It often has a strong rotational, spinning sensation.

⚖️ Disequilibrium means feeling unsteady or off balance, often with a sense of spatial disorientation. People with vestibular (inner ear) disorders might stumble frequently or have trouble walking straight or turning corners.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, especially if they affect your daily life, it’s important to get checked out. We’re here to help you find balance (literally)!

Aging well means staying safe…starting right at home 🏡

5 Quick fall-prevention tips:
✅ Remove throw rugs
✅ Install nightlights
✅ Keep cords tucked away
✅ Wear supportive footwear

It’s easy to overlook until something happens. Don’t wait for a fall to take action!

👂 Did you know that even mild hearing loss can triple your chances of falling?

Your ears do more than help you hear. They play a crucial role in keeping you balanced. Problems with your inner ear can cause dizziness and unsteadiness, which raises fall risk as we get older.

🛑 Falls are actually the leading cause of injury among older adults, so prevention is key!

Let’s work together to keep you steady and confident. Schedule a quick hearing and balance screening with us today, please send a message! 💬

🦩 It’s Balance Awareness Week, and we’re taking a moment to talk about something many people experience, but few fully understand: dizziness.

🌀Not all dizziness is the same, and not all of it comes from your inner ear.

👂 Inner ear-related dizziness often feels like the room is spinning (we call this vertigo). It may come with nausea, imbalance, or unsteadiness, especially when you move your head or change positions!

But some symptoms aren’t typically ear-related and may signal something more serious:
🚨 Passing out
🚨 Feeling like you might faint
🚨 Slurred speech
🚨 Numbness or weakness on one side of the body
🚨 Double vision

⚠️ If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms (even if they come with spinning or imbalance), it’s important to seek medical attention right away.

We’re here to help with ear-related balance issues, but your safety comes first. Balance problems can be complex. Please don’t ignore them, and don’t guess!

❣️Happy Grandparents Day!

So many of my patients say the same thing when they come in:
“I just want to hear my grandkids better.”

🧒 And we get it, those little voices are full of joy… and often hard to understand! 😮‍💨

👂 One reason? As we age, it's common to lose hearing in the high-frequency range, and that’s exactly where young children's voices fall. Add in fast speech, soft consonants like “s,” “f,” and “th,” and background noise at family gatherings, and suddenly you're nodding and smiling through a lot of conversation.

If you’re finding it harder to follow what your grandkids are saying (or you feel like you're missing out on their stories, jokes, and laughter), it might be time for a hearing check.

Let’s make sure you’re catching every “Grandma, look at this!” and “Guess what I did today!” 💬✨ We’d love to help you stay connected to the little voices that matter most.

🏈 Football season is here…and it’s getting LOUD! 🏟️

Whether you’re cheering for your alma mater or the 49ers, those stadium roars are no joke, some can reach over 100 decibels (dB)! 💥That's louder than some power tools... and definitely loud enough to damage your hearing if you’re not protected. At Kenwood Hearing Centers, we’re not just fans of football, we’re fans of preserving your hearing for seasons to come. 👂

🎧 That’s why we always recommend packing hearing protection if you’re heading to a game. Foam earplugs, custom plugs, or even earmuffs, whatever keeps your ears safe so you can keep cheering.

💡 Fun Fact: In audiology, we chart a red "O" for your right ear and a blue "X" for your left ear, just like a playbook! 😉Your hearing health deserves a great game plan, and we’re here to coach you through it. 📋

👂Need hearing protection? Want to make sure you're hearing at your best this season? Call us, we’ve got your ears covered!

😕“Never mind, it’s not important.”

🔁How many times have you said that after asking someone to repeat themselves?

Hearing loss can chip away at connection in tiny ways until eventually, it feels easier to just stay quiet. That quiet? It often turns into loneliness.

🦻 Don’t settle, take care of your hearing health.
