Sometimes our patients have poor word recognition. That means even if the hearing aids are fit perfectly they may not pick up everything being said at a large dinner table. That is when I always let our patients know about remote microphones.

Even with hearing aids, certain environments, like restaurants, meetings, and classrooms, can still be challenging. Competing noise often makes it harder to follow conversations. 🗣

Assistive listening accessories such as remote and table microphones can send speech directly to your hearing aids, improving clarity in busy settings. The right tools help conversations feel easier and less tiring. 💗

Support exists beyond hearing aids alone.

“I kept meaning to get it checked.” 😔
Maybe it was ringing in the ears that came and went. Maybe it was muffled hearing. Maybe hearing aids were not working quite right. These things can seem small at first, but they can have a real impact on quality of life over time.

Better Speech and Hearing Month is a good reminder that our hearing deserves attention, too! 🙌 Tinnitus, earwax buildup, and gradual hearing changes can all make communication harder and increase stress in ways people do not always connect right away.
I want people to know they do not have to wait until hearing problems feel “serious enough.” Early attention can make a meaningful difference.
Sometimes, taking care of your hearing is simply giving yourself permission to stop struggling in silence! 💓

Work environments can highlight challenges you might not notice anywhere else!
A patient once told me, “I feel like everyone at work is mumbling.” 😟 She was in meetings all the time and started pulling back from projects because she was worried she would miss something important and look unprofessional.

For those with untreated hearing loss in situations like these, it is not JUST about hearing. It is about confidence, and how comfortable you feel speaking up and staying engaged.

So we talked through what meetings were like for her day to day, then tested her hearing and reviewed why certain speech clarity issues show up more in group settings, especially when people are not facing you or are talking across the room.

We focused on a plan that would help her follow conversations more easily without feeling like she had to work so hard to keep up. 📝

The win was huge for her. She told me, “I stopped blaming my coworkers for being quiet. Now I can follow conversations even when someone is turned toward the whiteboard.”

Even better, she said her confidence at work had completely changed. She was participating more, speaking up, and no longer second guessing herself. 🥹💓

If you have ever felt like everyone around you is mumbling, you are definitely not alone. There is usually more going on, and it is something we can help with.

“The smallest hearing aid must be the best option.” 👂💡

It’s easy to assume smaller hearing aids are always better, but that isn’t always true. Very small devices have limited space for features, power, and speakers, making them less effective for certain hearing losses.

The best hearing aid balances comfort, performance, and your listening needs. Larger styles can still be discreet while offering better clarity and advanced technology.

Function should always come first.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and dedication are the reason we enjoy the freedoms of everyday life! ❤️🤍💙

As we gather with family and friends this long weekend, we do so with gratitude and reflection. It’s a time to both remember those who served and appreciate the moments we’re able to share because of them.

Wishing everyone a safe, meaningful, and restful Memorial Day weekend!

As an audiologist, I spend a lot of time talking with patients about something many people do not realize: when hearing becomes harder, listening becomes work!
During Better Speech and Hearing Month, I think it is important to remind you that hearing health is closely tied to overall well-being. When the brain has to strain to fill in missing sounds and piece together speech, it can leave you feeling tired, frustrated, and less interested in social situations. 😔
I often see this show up in everyday life first… dinner with friends feels overwhelming, meetings take more energy, and background noise suddenly feels like too much.
That is why I believe hearing care is about so much more than ears. It is about making daily life feel easier, lighter, and more connected again. 🫶
If you have noticed that conversations take more effort lately, it may be time to check in on your hearing.

Hearing care belongs right alongside eye exams, dental visits, and other preventive health habits!

Better Speech and Hearing Month is the perfect time to talk about that. A routine hearing evaluation can help identify changes early, whether that means hearing loss, tinnitus concerns, excess earwax, or issues with hearing devices that are making listening harder than it should be.
I think of hearing care as a way of protecting the relationships and routines that matter most… conversations with family, time with friends, confidence at work, and the ability to enjoy life without constantly straining to keep up. 🥰

You do not have to wait for a major problem to start paying attention to your hearing health! We have several patients who get their hearing tested annually, who do not have hearing loss! 🙌

When was your last hearing test?

“Hearing aids are basically the same as they were years ago.” 🔊✨

This is one of the most common misconceptions we hear. In fact, 61% of clinicians report that patients today are more willing to use hearing aids than they were five years ago.

Modern hearing aids are smaller, more discreet, rechargeable, and offer Bluetooth streaming for calls and media. If your concerns are based on older technology, it may be time to see what has changed.

Today’s devices are built for modern life.

Once in a while, a patient tells you something that really sticks with you. ⬇️

He said, “Last year, when I went on my morning walks, I could hear a group of chickadees chirping. Now I can see them, but I don’t hear them.” 🤨

When changes are gradual, your brain fills in the gaps and it becomes your new normal without you even realizing it!

So we walked through what he had been noticing (or not), then tested his hearing and discussed how softer environmental sounds often fade first. It is not that those sounds disappear… it is that they become harder to pick up.

This is the part that stuck with me 👉 When he came back for his follow-up visit, he told me, “I could hear my footsteps on the gravel and a bird chirping three houses down. I didn’t realize how much life I had been missing. I thought it would be loud, but it’s very natural sounding!”

Are there any sounds that you haven’t heard in a while?

As an audiologist, one of the more common things I help patients with is something people don’t always think much about is earwax!!
I completely understand the temptation to try to manage it at home. 🙅‍♀️ But the reality is, the ear is a delicate space, and it’s very easy to push wax deeper, cause irritation, or even risk damage without realizing it.

What many people don’t know is that ear wax management is actually part of our clinical training.

When I remove earwax in the office, I’m able to clearly see the ear canal and eardrum using specialized equipment, which allows me to do it safely and comfortably. Just as importantly, I can also check for anything else that might be contributing to changes in hearing. 👂
I always tell patients, it’s not just about removing wax, it’s about understanding what’s going on in your ears and making sure everything looks healthy.

Sometimes the safest, easiest solution is having it handled by someone who does it every day.

Have you ever thought about how conversations shape your daily life? 👂

Difficulty hearing conversations can affect far more than social moments. Research shows that untreated hearing loss is associated with challenges in education and employment over time.

Clear communication supports confidence, participation, and opportunity at every stage of life. Addressing hearing concerns early can help reduce unnecessary barriers.

Better hearing 👉 supports better outcomes!!
