Hearing isn’t just about your ears—it’s about your brain.

Untreated hearing loss can increase the risk of cognitive decline, memory challenges, and social isolation.

This month, let’s shine a light on the connection between hearing and brain health.

Better hearing = better living. If you would like to experience the difference, stop by our offices or call, (440) 579-4085.

The Painesville Water Department will be flushing hydrants in sections 13,14 and 15 of Concord Township the week of October 6 from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Section 13 includes Concord Hambden Road west of Painesville Ravenna Road and the side streets to Auburn Road. Section 14 includes west of Hermitage Road, south of Interstate 90 and east of Hermitage Road. Section 15 includes Mount Royal Subdivision and Hermitage Road south to Girdled Road. Signs will be posted by affected hydrants. Flushing water lines in the spring and fall is an important preventive maintenance activity for the water system. As a result, residents in the immediate vicinity may experience temporary discoloration of their water. This discoloration consists primarily of harmless silt and air and does not affect the safety of the water. If you experience discoloration in your water, clear the pipes by running all water faucets on cold for a few minutes. For more information, please contact the Water Distribution office at 440-392-2975.

Do you ever hear ringing, buzzing, or humming in your ears when no sound is present?
That’s called tinnitus — and it affects over 25 million Americans regularly.

Causes can include:
• Noise exposure (concerts, earbuds, loud work environments)
• Hearing loss
• Ear infections or medical conditions
• Stress and certain medications

While there’s no “one cure,” there are proven ways to manage tinnitus: sound therapy, hearing aids, relaxation techniques, and professional audiology care.

You don’t have to live with the ringing alone. Support and solutions are available. Give as a call here at Sounds of Life Hearing Center at (440) 579-4085.

Protect your hearing. Seek help early. Reclaim the quiet.

• The importance of accessibility and inclusion
• The right of every person to express themselves and be understood

Whether through hearing technology, sign language, or both — everyone deserves a voice.

Let’s work together for a world where no one is left out of the conversation.
