�� The Link Between Hearing Dementia👂🦻

Studies show that untreated hearing loss can increase the risk
of cognitive decline.
Why? When your brain has to work harder to process unclear
sound, it has fewer resources left for memory and thinking. In
addition, withdrawal from social contact reduces learning. Over
time, this can impact brain performance.
The good news:
✅ Treating hearing loss with hearing aids or assistive devices
can help keep you engaged, socially connected, and mentally

active all of which support brain function.
✅ Regular hearing screenings mean changes are caught early,
giving you more options for support.
Protecting your hearing is protecting your mind. ��

�� Heritage Day! Hear the Heartbeat of Home

Heritage Day is more than boerewors on the grill, it’s the sound
of the braai sizzling, the echo of laughter, and the stories
passed from one generation to the next.
It’s the music playing in the background, the clinking of plates,
and the voices of family and friends woven into the fabric of
who we are. ����
At iCAN, we believe these moments are priceless and hearing
them clearly is what keeps us truly connected to our heritage.
This Heritage Day, let’s celebrate togetherness, tradition, and
the sounds that make South Africa home.

�� International Day of Sign Languages

Sign Language is more than a gesture, it’s connection.
Today we celebrate the beauty and richness of Deaf culture,
and the power of sign language to bridge worlds. ����
Learning even a few basic signs can open doors:
�� Hello – Wave your hand side to side
�� Thank You – Fingers from chin outward
❤️ I Love You – Thumb, index finger, and pinky up, other fingers
down

Every sign you learn is another step toward inclusion,
understanding, and equal communication access.
Let’s work together to make conversations accessible, because
connection should never be out of reach.

�� Tinnitus: Causes, Management & When to Get Help
Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external sound is
present often described as ringing, buzzing, or hissing in the
ears.
Possible causes include:
�� Exposure to loud noise
�� Age-related hearing loss
�� Outer ear obstructions
�� Certain illnesses or medications
Management tips:

✅ Limit exposure to loud sounds
✅ Manage stress levels (stress can make tinnitus worse)
✅ Enrich your sound environment and reduce focus on tinnitus
✅ Follow a healthy lifestyle to support overall ear health
See an Audiologist and Acoustician if:
�� You have tinnitus
�� It’s in one ear only
�� It’s affecting your sleep, focus, or daily activities
You don’t have to “just live with it.” There are ways to manage
tinnitus and improve your quality of life.

If spring has you sneezing, sniffling, and feeling pressure in
your ears, you’re not imagining it.
Allergies can cause your Eustachian tubes (which connect your
middle ear to the back of your nose) to become inflamed or
blocked.
This can lead to:
�� A feeling of fullness in the ear
�� Muffled hearing
�� Ear pain or popping sounds
�� Tip: Managing your allergy symptoms and staying hydrate
can help reduce ear pressure. But if the discomfort lingers, it’s
worth having your hearing and middle ear function checked,
especially during allergy season.

�� Myth: Hearing aids don’t work in noisy places.

✅ Fact: Modern hearing aids are designed to help you hear
better, even in busy environments.
�� Here’s a tip:

When you’re in a noisy place like a restaurant, position yourself
with your back to the noise and face the person you’re speaking
to. Many hearing aids have directional microphones that focus
on sound in front of you, reducing background noise.
Today’s devices also come with noise reduction features and
smartphone controls so you can quickly adjust settings for your
environment.
�� Bonus: Ask your Audiologist or Acousticians to programme
“noisy place” setting into your hearing aid for extra clarity when
you need it most.
