A lot of my job happens behind the scenes, confirming benefits / sending reminders / coordinating referrals / prepping paperwork / answering messages / ordering supplies...

What keeps me going? Your smiles when you walk in… and a cold HteaO beverage. 😄

Guess my go-to order:

A) Sweet Tea
B) Unsweet Tea
C) Unsweet Tea w/ mint

Comment A, B, or C, and I’ll reveal the actual answer tomorrow! 😄

If something isn’t working, say something. 🗣️

Whether it’s music that’s too loud, a conversation from another room, or a group talking over each other, advocating early can prevent frustration later. Many people don’t realize there’s an issue unless it’s gently pointed out.

Asking for small adjustments can lead to much better listening experiences for everyone involved. 💚

Real-Ear Measurement (REM) is one of the best “gap closers” we have in audiology. 🙌

I had a patient come in recently and say, “I’m wearing hearing aids… but I’m not sure I’m actually hearing my wife better.” 😣 The devices worked for most people, but when his wife spoke, her speech remained unclear, especially in noise.

So we brought her in! Our REM device can actually record her speech in the room and match it to his hearing loss and the output of the hearing aids!

That’s why we use REMs. It lets us measure what your hearing aids are delivering inside your ear canal and adjust them to evidence-based targets, so we’re not guessing!

The small wins can be huge, but I think we can classify this one as a huge win. 👏👏👏

If you’re unsure whether your hearing aids are truly optimized, message us!

I came across an article this week that caught my attention. 📰 A major pharmaceutical company is investing in gene-editing research to treat certain types of hearing loss.

As an audiologist, I always keep an eye on developments like this. The science is fascinating, and any effort to better understand and potentially treat hearing loss at its root is worth watching.

Especially for genetic or congenital forms, where traditional hearing aids may not always be the full solution, research like this holds real promise.

👉 But I also carry a healthy dose of caution.

Breakthroughs in biotech often take years (sometimes decades) to go from early-stage research to real-world impact, and even then, they’re rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. Hearing isn’t just about the ear; it’s about the brain, the environment, communication, and identity. And even the most advanced treatment will still need to be paired with personalized care and support.

So while I’m hopeful and excited to see where this research leads, I also know this: right now, we do have proven, evidence-based ways to help people hear better, connect more deeply, and protect their cognitive health. 👂🧠

The future of hearing care might look different, and that’s a good thing. But today’s care still matters.
And I’m here for both!

St. Patrick’s Day is full of music, laughter, and great conversations.

However, nearly 1 in 5 adults experience some degree of hearing loss, making regular hearing care just as important as any lucky charm.

Healthy hearing helps you stay connected to it all, no magic needed, just good care for your ears. 💚

Wishing you a day filled with joy, great company, and sounds worth celebrating!

How are you celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this year? ☘️👇

An appointment that measures your ear canal volume can be one of those “small steps” that make a huge difference in how hearing aids actually sound.

Let’s break it down: 👇

We start by reviewing your hearing test and your real-life goals (restaurants, TV, church, family gatherings).

Then I place a tiny probe microphone in your ear canal, and we play speech-like sounds to measure what your hearing aids are actually delivering inside your ear. 🦻 From there, I adjust the settings until they match evidence-based target levels, and we fine-tune based on what you notice.

The best part? The wins are often immediate:

✅ clearer speech without cranking volume
✅ less “sharp” or “off” sound
✅ more balanced hearing between ears
✅ more confidence that everything is set correctly

If your hearing aids don’t feel quite right, or you want a verified fit from the start, message us!

🧠 Your brain needs practice to hear its best.

Hearing aids work most effectively when worn consistently throughout the day, not just during social events. Regular wear helps your brain:

👂 Process speech more clearly
👂 Adjust to different sound environments
👂 Feel less overwhelmed in noise

Think of hearing like exercise: the more consistently you show up, the stronger it gets. 💪

⚠️ Not all cleaners are hearing-aid safe.

Alcohol-based wipes may be great for hands and surfaces, but they can damage the outer materials and internal components of hearing aids. Instead, use products specifically designed for hearing devices or ask us about safe, non-alcohol options.

When it comes to cleaning, gentle and hearing-aid–approved is best. 👂✨

We get to know our patients like family. We celebrate their milestones, we learn their stories, and sometimes, we feel their absence more than people might expect.
Every so often, a family reaches out after a loved one has passed, asking what to do with their hearing aids. And while those calls are never easy, they’re filled with so much generosity.
If you ever find yourself in that position, know this: hearing aids can be donated and make a real difference. We collect them here at the office and pass them along to organizations like Sertoma, where they’re refurbished and given to someone in need.
It’s one small way a loved one’s care can continue, helping someone stay connected, just like they did.
If you have questions, we’re always here to walk you through it.

Hearing aids often start with the manufacturer's “first-fit” settings, basically the default setting, like a new phone.

I had a patient tell me, “They were programmed when I got them, so they should be fine… right?”
Sometimes they are. But without verification, it’s also common for fittings to be:

Too soft 👉 speech still unclear (especially s, f, th)
Too sharp 👉 loud but not comfortable
Unbalanced 👉 one ear working harder 👉 more listening fatigue

That’s why we use Real-Ear Measurement (REM). It takes us from “let’s try this and hope” to “let’s measure and confirm.”

REM helps us verify things like:

✅ soft speech (grandkids, across-the-room voices)
✅ everyday speech clarity + comfort
✅ loud sounds staying comfortable
✅ settings matching evidence-based targets

If your hearing aids feel “off,” let’s check them!

Daily care doesn’t have to be complicated. Some of the best things you can do at home:

🦻 Wipe your hearing aids with a soft, dry cloth each night
🦻 Use a cleaning brush to clear the microphone ports
🦻 Check wax guards or tubing regularly

Keeping your devices free of debris helps prevent sound issues and unnecessary repairs. When in doubt, we’re always happy to show you how. 😊
