Did you know some medications can affect your ears? 👂💊

Here are a few examples:
💊 Certain HIV treatments, chemotherapy, TB medications like aminoglycosides, and Roaccutane during pregnancy can put your baby’s hearing at risk.
💊 Other medications, such as long-term aspirin use and quinine for malaria, can affect the hearing of the person taking them.
🥦 Lifestyle factors like smoking, poor circulation, and uncontrolled diabetes also increase your chances of hearing changes.
🍓 On the positive side, antioxidant-rich foods, staying active, and protecting your ears from loud noise can all support healthy hearing.

If you are on long-term medication and worried about changes in your hearing or ringing in your ears, book a check-up. We will guide you with care and help you keep your hearing health on track.

It’s World Kindness Day today 💙

Let’s take this week to celebrate kindness and to look at how we can show it, not just to others, but to ourselves too.

Kindness might look like checking in on a loved one who says “what?” a little too often.
It might be helping someone make that first hearing appointment.

Or it might simply mean being kind to yourself by taking care of your hearing, managing your stress, and giving your body the attention it deserves.

Kindness starts with listening to others, and to yourself. 👂

People living with diabetes are twice as likely to experience hearing loss. 👂💙

Those with pre-diabetes have up to a 30% higher rate of hearing loss compared to people without diabetes.

High blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels and nerves inside your ears, the same way it can affect your eyes or kidneys.
That means managing your blood sugar and monitoring your hearing are both key parts of protecting your long-term health.

If you have diabetes or pre-diabetes, make hearing checks part of your yearly routine.
If you have never had one, now is the time. If you have, this is your reminder to book your next one.

🎥 We’ll be sharing more later this month from Kara about how diabetes can affect your hearing and why early testing matters.

It’s Stress Awareness Day – a reminder to pause, breathe, and notice how stress shows up in your body.

Sometimes it’s not just in your head. It’s in your neck, your shoulders, and even your ears.
When we’re tense, blood flow and oxygen to the brain and inner ear can drop, which can cause dizziness, ringing, or make it harder to process sound.

Many patients notice their symptoms flare up when they’re stressed, especially in high-pressure moments like driving.
So today, take a few deep breaths, drop your shoulders, and give your body (and your ears) a moment to reset.

👂 Listen to what your body is telling you.

So if we shouldn’t use earbuds... how do we clean our ears? 🤔

Here’s the truth:
👂 Your ears are self-cleaning! Earwax (cerumen) naturally moves outward, trapping dust and debris along the way.

🚫 Cotton buds actually push wax deeper, risking blockages or injury.

✅ Safe ways to keep ears clean:
– Use a warm, damp cloth around the outer ear.
– Ask your audiologist to check for wax buildup during routine visits.
– For stubborn wax, professional ear cleaning is quick, safe, and painless.

If you’ve been feeling blocked, itchy, or full in your ears, it’s best to get them checked — not poked.

As Audiology Awareness Month comes to an end, we want to say a big thank you for joining us this October. 💙

We’ve covered so many important topics from tinnitus and vertigo to hearing protection, audiograms, and how hearing connects to your overall well-being.

Your engagement, questions, and curiosity have made this month so meaningful. Together, we’ve learned that healthy hearing isn’t just about sound, it’s about connection, balance, and brain health too.

The year might be coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean we are.

We’re ramping up education and value to keep you and your ears and brain healthy, connected, and thriving.

See you in November for even more hearing health tips, stories, and ways to Listen. Protect. Connect.

📍 Durban & Ballito clinics are open and ready to help you start your hearing journey.

Ever looked at an audiogram and thought, “What on earth does this chart mean?” 📈

An audiogram is a visual map of your hearing. It shows how well you hear at different pitches, from deep low rumbles to high bird chirps.
The dots on the chart represent the softest sounds you can hear; the lower the dots fall, the harder it is to pick up those sounds.

On your chart, red circles mark the right ear and blue crosses mark the left ear. That helps us see how each ear is performing and whether there’s a difference between them.

It’s not scary at all. In fact, it’s one of the simplest ways for us to understand your hearing and build a plan that helps you hear and connect better.

So if you’ve been turning up the TV, struggling to follow conversations, or asking people to repeat themselves, it’s time to get your hearing checked.

Because knowledge really is power, especially when it comes to your hearing health.

Noise is part of everyday life – but how much is too much?

Long exposure to anything over 85 decibels (about as loud as city traffic or a blender) can start to damage your hearing.

Here’s what that means:
🔊 If you have to raise your voice to talk to someone next to you, it’s too loud.
🔊 Regular exposure to loud environments – construction sites, busy restaurants, workshops, or even loud gym classes – can all take a toll over time.

The good news? A few simple habits can protect your hearing for years to come.

👂 Swipe through for easy daily and workplace hearing protection tips you can start using today.

Wishing everyone celebrating a Diwali filled with light, laughter, and beautiful sounds. ✨

As the skies sparkle with fireworks and celebration fills the air, here is a gentle reminder to keep your ears safe while enjoying the festivities.

💙 Use earplugs, especially for little ones.
💙 Keep pets indoors as their ears are extra sensitive.
💙 Take short listening breaks by stepping away from the loudest areas when you can.

Sound is part of our shared joy, but protecting our hearing helps ensure we can keep enjoying those happy moments for years to come.

From our Hoffman family to yours, happy Diwali. 💛
