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 several 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.

👂 How’s Your Hearing This Year? 👂

As the year settles in, it’s the perfect time for a quick self-check not just on your goals, but on your hearing. 🌿

Ask yourself:
💬 Do conversations feel a little more effortful than before?
🎶 Do voices seem softer, or background noise more distracting?
📺 Do you turn up the TV or radio a little higher than others prefer?

If you nodded “yes” to any of these, your ears (and brain) might be asking for a little extra care.

Early hearing assessments and auditory training help you stay sharp, confident, and connected... so you don’t miss a single moment that matters this year.

🧠🎧 The Brain’s Most Important Workout 🎧🧠

We train our bodies to stay strong, but how often do we train our brains to listen? 💪

Hearing aids bring sound back into your world, but your brain needs time and guided practice to recognize, interpret, and trust those sounds again.
That’s where auditory training plays an important role; helping your brain adapt and make sense of sound more comfortably over time.

Here’s how auditory training supports your hearing journey:
🎯 Targeted listening exercises to practise distinguishing words, tones, and speech in noise
🧩 Memory and focus activities that strengthen the skills needed to follow conversations
👂 Real-life listening practice, guided by your audiologist, to support understanding in everyday environments

Auditory training helps reduce listening effort and build confidence.
It’s not about louder sound, it’s about clearer understanding, sharper focus, and feeling more at ease in connection.

👂✨ Struggled to Follow Conversations This Festive Season? ✨

If the holidays left you feeling mentally drained from trying to keep up in group gatherings, you’re not alone.

Festive settings often highlight hearing challenges:
👥 Multiple voices at once
🎶 Background music
🍽️ Busy family tables
💬 Fast-moving conversations

If you found yourself:
• Nodding along even when you weren’t sure what was said
• Feeling exhausted after social events
• Missing punchlines, stories, or softer voices
• Relying more on watching faces than hearing words
These can be early signs that your hearing, and your brain have been working overtime.

💡 A beginning-of-year hearing check with an independent audiologist can help you understand what’s changed and how to make listening feel easier again.

When paired with auditory training, it can support:
✅ Clearer conversations
✅ Reduced listening fatigue
✅ Better focus in noisy environments

Your hearing shapes how connected you feel.
If the festive season felt harder than it used to, now is the perfect time to check in.

Healthy ageing isn’t only about exercise, medication, or nutrition.
It’s also about caring for the senses that keep you connected to the world around you.

Your hearing and balance quietly shape your independence every single day:
👂 They help you stay present in conversations and moments of joy.
⚖️ They support steadiness, confidence, and safety as you move through life.
💬 They allow you to stay engaged with family, friends, and the world you love.

When your sensory health is supported, daily life feels lighter and more manageable, from keeping up with grandchildren to enjoying a peaceful walk outside.

💡 In 2026, make hearing and balance part of your wellbeing plan. Because ageing well isn’t just about adding years… it’s about adding clarity, confidence, and connection.

💭 “Once I get hearing aids, my hearing will be normal again.”

✅ Fact: Hearing aids give you access to sound, but your brain is what gives that sound meaning.

When you first start wearing hearing aids, everyday noises can feel too sharp, too loud, or simply unfamiliar.
That’s completely normal.
Your brain is adapting and learning how to interpret sound again.

This is where ongoing auditory training and support from an independent audiologist become essential.
With time, guidance, and consistent use, listening becomes clearer, conversations feel easier, and connection grows more comfortable.

🎯 Technology starts the process.
Auditory training helps your brain make sense of sound.

🎆 Countdown to the New Year: Hear Your Resolutions Clearly 🎆

As we step into a new year, many people set goals for their health, energy, and wellbeing.
But here’s one resolution that often gets overlooked, the one that is supporting how your brain processes sound.

You may have heard us talk about auditory training… but what exactly is it?

🧠 FAQ: What Is Auditory Training?
Auditory training is a guided program that helps your brain relearn how to recognize, prioritize, and understand sound, especially after hearing loss or when adjusting to hearing aids.

It can help you:
👂 Understand speech more easily in noisy places
💬 Follow group conversations with less effort
🎧 Make your hearing aids feel more natural
🧠 Strengthen focus, listening stamina, and confidence

Think of it as “exercise for the brain,” improving the way sound is interpreted so daily listening becomes easier and more comfortable.

✨ As 2026 approaches, supporting your hearing isn’t just about devices, it’s about giving your brain the tools it needs to keep you connected.

🎆 Protect Your Hearing This New Year’s Eve 🎆

As the countdown begins and fireworks light up the sky, remember: those beautiful bursts can reach noise levels of 150 decibels or more, loud enough to cause immediate hearing damage. 👂💥

Celebrate safely without losing the magic:
🎧 Use earplugs or noise-reducing earmuffs: They soften the impact while keeping the excitement.
👶 Shield young ears: Children are especially sensitive to sudden loud sounds.
📏 Create space: Stand at least 15–20 meters away from fireworks for safer sound exposure.
🎶 Give your ears breaks: Avoid constant loud music or back-to-back fireworks.

💡 Important: Once hearing is damaged, it cannot be restored, which is why protection always matters.

It’s one of the most common, and most emotional, questions people ask.

The truth is this:
Hearing may change over time, but with the right support, it can become clearer, more comfortable, and far less effortful.

When you begin using hearing aids or new technology, your brain starts a process of learning how to interpret sound again.

In the beginning, everyday noises like footsteps, dishes, or even your own voice may feel unfamiliar or sharper than expected.

That’s completely normal, it’s simply your brain adjusting.

With:
🧠 Consistent hearing aid use
🎧 Auditory training
🤝 Regular follow-ups and careful, independent fine-tuning
Your brain begins to adapt and strengthen its ability to make sense of sound.

Over time, listening becomes easier.
Conversations feel more natural.
And you begin to reconnect with the sounds that matter most; not by going backward, but by moving forward with the right guidance.

💡 Hearing care is about helping you move forward with confidence, reducing listening effort, and restoring meaningful connection in your everyday life.

💫 Finding Peace in the Festive Soundscape 💫

The holidays bring music, laughter, and celebration. Beautiful moments filled with sound.
But for those living with tinnitus, the extra noise and activity can make the ringing feel louder and more present.

That buzzing, humming, or ringing you hear may be your brain responding to missing sound, and during times of stress, fatigue, or loud environments, it can become even more noticeable.

Here are gentle ways to support calm this festive season:

🎶 Use soft background sound: Nature sounds or calming music can help reduce the focus on tinnitus.
🧘‍♀️ Take short quiet breaks: Pauses between busy moments give your mind and ears a chance to reset.
💬 Talk to an independent audiologist: With counselling and sound-based strategies, they can guide your brain toward a more balanced response.

✨ Tinnitus care isn’t about eliminating sound, it’s about understanding it, finding balance, and creating moments of peace in the middle of the noise.

Reconciliation begins with listening, not just to respond, but to truly understand.

It happens in quiet moments of empathy, in conversations that bridge differences, and in the courage to hear stories that aren’t our own. Because when we take the time to listen (really listen) healing begins.

At iCAN, we believe hearing is more than sound.
It’s connection. It’s compassion. It’s the bridge that allows understanding to grow between generations, families, and communities.

💬 When we hear better, we connect better.
When we connect better, we build a world that feels a little closer, kinder, and more human.

✨ This Reconciliation Day, may we all pause to listen... to one another, to our stories, and to the sounds that remind us we belong to something greater.
