Welcome to Sonette Maritz Audiologists

We have two well established practices, one in Kempton Park, and the other one in Alberton. We supply, fit and assist with repairs on different makes and models of hearing aids to ensure the best possible solution for your specific hearing problem. Of all our senses we are inclined to take our hearing for granted. Sometimes hearing loss can develop over seve

ral years, and therefore most people are not aware of the extent of their hearing loss until family or friends bring it to their attention. Hearing loss doesn’t just affect the person with the hearing loss, but it affects everyone who interacts with them too. Mission Statement
My mission is to create a positive patient experience. I am committed to guide patients through a process of improving their quality of life through warm, caring and professional service. I am dedicated to deliver the most accurate hearing assessment possible, and to provide the most appropriate and effective treatment available, while using state of the art technology and equipment. I will do everything in my power to support my patient’s well-being, dignity and independence.

❗️Things parents don't ask, but really should❗️

When it comes to hearing health and hearing aids, sometimes the most important questions go unspoken. We're here to make sure you never feel unsure or alone on your journey.

Here are a few things you're allowed and encouraged to ask your audiologist:

▪️What caused my hearing loss, and is it permanent?
▪️What type of hearing aids would best suit my lifestyle?
▪️How can I protect my hearing going forward?
▪️What are my options for financing or medical aid coverage?
▪️What kind of ongoing support do you offer after fitting a hearing aid?

Remember, no question is too small - every answer helps you take charge of your hearing health with confidence.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS COMMON PRODUCT IS DAMAGING YOUR HEARING!👀

Did you know your hairdryer could be hurting your ears?👂🏻Most hairdryers reach sound levels of 85-100 decibels - the same as a busy highway or a lawnmower! Prolonged exposure at that volume, especially in a small bathroom or area, can cause gradual hearing damage over time.

Other sneaky culprits? 👀 Vacuum cleaners, blenders and even power tools.

📌Tip: If you need to raise your voice talk over the sound, it's too loud. Protect your ears, your hearing matters every day.

👶🏾Is your toddler really just "Not Listening"... or could it be a hearing problem?👶🏻

As parents, we celebrated every giggle, babble, and "mama" - but what if those milestones are delayed or missing?

Sometimes, the earliest signs of hearing loss in toddlers are misunderstood or overlooked.

Here are a few red flags to watch for:🚩

▪️No response to their name by 12 months
▪️Delayed speech or unclear words for their age
▪️Turning up the volume unusually high
▪️Not startled by loud sounds or ignoring soft ones
▪️Watching your face closely when you speak ( may be lip reading)

Early invention is everything. Your toddler deserve the chance to connect, communicate, and thrive. If you have any doubts, trust your instincts - get their hearing checked. You're not overreacting. You're being a caring, proactive parent.

Can Hearing Loss be inherited?🧬Let's talk about it.

Yes👍🏻Hearing loss can be inherited. In fact, up to 60% of childhood hearing loss is caused by genetic factors.

But it doesn't always show up at birth. Some inherited types can appear later in life, even if you had normal hearing as a child.

Whether it's present from birth or develops over time, knowing your family history can help with early detection and the right support.

If hearing loss runs in your family, regular hearing checks are essential - for you and your loved ones. 👂🏻

Who is more affected by Hearing Loss? The Elderly or Young Children?🤔

It's a common assumption that hearing loss is only an "ageing issue" but the truth is more nuanced.

✔️Yes, hearing loss is more common in older adults, BUT it can affect people at any age, even newborns.

Let's look at some facts:
▪️Nearly 1 out of 3 people over 65 experience disabling hearing loss.
▪️But around 2-3 of every 1000 babies is born with a detectable hearing loss in one or both ears.
▪️And many toddlers may develop hearing issues due to ear infections, fluid buildup, or genetic conditions.

Why is hearing loss more common in elderly?
▪️Natural aging of the auditory system (presbycusis)
▪️Long-term noise exposure
▪️Medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or poor circulation.
▪️Ototoxic medications

Early detection matters - at every age. Whether it's monitoring a child's speech milestones or helping a grandparent hear family conversations, hearing care is lifelong.

🎉National Culture and Senior Citizens Day🎉

Today, we celebrate the rich traditions, stories, and wisdom passed down through our senior citizens, the heart of our cultural heritage. 🫀

But what happens when hearing loss creates distance from these cherished voices?🤔

Hearing challenges can isolate seniors from:
▪️Conversations
▪️Community
▪️Connection

By supporting their hearing health, we help preserve not just communication but legacy.

👂🏻Let's honour our elders by ensuring they're heard, understood, and included.

Book a hearing test for a loved one and give them the gift of connection.😊
