Today, we recognize International Cochlear Implant Day 🎧

Cochlear implants have transformed access to sound for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss, supporting communication, education, and connection at every stage of life.

On February 25, we celebrate the technology, professionals, and families who make hearing possible in new ways—and the recipients whose stories remind us why hearing care matters.

Hearing loss doesn’t just affect sound — it impacts connection, confidence, and quality of life. If you or someone you love has been struggling to hear, you’re not alone, and help is available. Let’s make hearing health a priority.

“Does more expensive automatically mean better?” 🤔

At Inman Audiology, we always say a premium device isn’t always the best choice. It depends on you!

Premium technology can be amazing (especially for people who spend a lot of time in noise, meetings, restaurants, or large family gatherings). But if your biggest goal is hearing your spouse at home and TV more clearly, a top-tier model may be more than you need.

Our philosophy is simple 👇

We want you to go with the minimum technology you need to get your maximum communication success. We consider factors such as your hearing test, your lifestyle, and your listening goals, then make our recommendation.

If you’re hearing aid shopping and want a no-pressure conversation, send us a message or call our office. We’ll walk you through the options so you feel confident about what you’re choosing.

New hearing aid research reinforces something we see in the clinic every day: there’s no one perfect hearing aid setting. Some people want a fast reaction to changes in sound. Others want a smoother, slower response. Interestingly, preference often depends on the type and degree of hearing loss!

Translation: if your hearing aids ever sound “too sharp,” “too loud suddenly,” or like speech is “clear but not comfortable,” that’s not you being picky, that’s a setting we can fine-tune!

If you’re not loving how things sound lately, schedule a quick check!!

This Valentine’s Day, show your heart AND your hearing some love.
Your heart and ears are more connected than you think. The tiny sensory cells in your inner ear depend on strong blood flow to function properly, so when heart health declines, hearing can suffer too.
Studies show that cardiovascular conditions like high blood pressure may increase the risk of hearing loss. (Source: American Journal of Audiology)
Taking care of your heart isn't just about longevity; it’s also about staying connected to the world around you through better hearing. 👂 So, if you've noticed changes in your hearing or want to make sure everything's in working order, we're here to help! ❤️

Did you know your ears are self-cleaning? 😮

Tiny hairs inside the ear canal naturally move earwax outward over time. When you use Q-tips or other objects, the wax often just gets pushed deeper instead of removed, leading to blockages, muffled hearing, or discomfort. ❌

If your ears feel full, itchy, or clogged, it’s best to have them checked by a professional rather than trying to fix it yourself. We’re here to help keep your ears safe and clear! 🦻

Musicians know the power of sound — and they also know how important it is to protect it. Wearing hearing protection, even high-fidelity ear plugs, helps preserve hearing without sacrificing sound quality. Protect your ears today so the music can last a lifetime!

I recently saw a large European study, the Gutenberg Health Study, that has been exploring the link between hearing loss and cardiovascular health. It caught my attention because, as an audiologist, I see firsthand how hearing changes can reflect broader health shifts.
Here’s the short version: the study found that people with hearing loss often had more cardiovascular risk factors, but when researchers accounted for age and other variables, most of those links faded.
Except one.
Hearing loss still showed a significant connection with diabetes, even after full adjustment. To me, that’s an important clue.
Sometimes, hearing changes show up as one of the early signs that something in the vascular or metabolic system needs a second look. Especially if you’re managing (or at risk for) diabetes.
If it’s been a while since you’ve had your hearing checked or your diabetes care plan updated, consider this your gentle reminder.
Not because anything is “wrong,” but because paying attention early can help us stay connected to the world, and to ourselves.

Earwax gets a bad wrap, but it actually plays an important role in keeping your ears healthy.
Earwax is produced by glands in the outer portion of the ear canal and works alongside tiny hairs (called cilia) to trap dust, dirt, and other debris before it can reach the eardrum. This helps protect the sensitive structures deeper in the ear.
The goal isn’t to remove earwax completely, it’s to keep it from building up and causing problems. Healthy ears need a little wax!
As we age, earwax doesn’t move out of the ears as efficiently, which can lead to buildup and hearing issues. But don’t worry… we're here to help with safe, professional ear wax removal if you need it!

Hearing aid repairs might seem quick, but they work best when we plan for them.

A patient walked in and said, “It’ll only take a second, can you fix this right now?” 🕑

I totally understand. When something stops working, you want it fixed today! But to respect everyone’s time, we ask that you call ahead so that we can make sure that an assistant is ready for you, rather than walking in. That way, we can serve you well without bumping other patients.

You get a fast fix with less frustration. Win-win!

Need a repair? Call us and we’ll tell you the quickest option today.

Can I use my FSA or HSA card here?”

I get asked this all the time.

A patient came in recently and said, “I’m guessing this won’t work for hearing stuff… right?”

I totally get it. Benefits can be SO confusing.

Here’s the simple answer: YES. Many patients can use FSA/HSA funds for things like hearing aids, repairs, batteries, and copays… and often hearing protection too (always check your plan to confirm.)

Many people describe tinnitus as a high-pitched ringing, but it can also sound like buzzing, humming, rushing, or even thumping. 🔔

Some people experience pulsatile tinnitus, where the sound matches their heartbeat. ❤️‍🔥 While this can happen occasionally, persistent pulsatile tinnitus may signal an underlying health concern and shouldn’t be ignored.

A hearing test is often the first step in finding answers. If you’ve noticed rhythmic sounds in your ears, send me a message or call to schedule a hearing exam.
