🩴 We Stepped Out for a Great Cause! 🩴

This past Flip Flop Day, our team proudly joined South Africans across the country who slipped on their flip flops for something truly meaningful! 💛🧡

Flip Flop Day is an annual campaign organised by CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa to raise awareness and support for children and teenagers diagnosed with cancer. A small gesture to let brave families know they’re not walking this journey alone. Every small step, sticker and smile makes a big difference.

For just R10, you can purchase a Flip Flop Day sticker and wear it alongside your favourite pair of flip flops. This is a simple but powerful gesture that helps fund practical, emotional and educational support for young people and their families when they need it most. The funds raised help provide things like transport to treatment, safe accommodation near hospitals, care bags for newly diagnosed kids and much more.

We were so excited to take part and show our support! 👣💪 Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped spread hope and solidarity on this special day.

Let’s keep stepping forward, together! ❤️🩴

Baie dankie Nádine vir die boodskap. Ons sien julle weer gou. 👂🏻

My ouma Helene - ma van 4, ouma van 9, grootouma van 8
- sy toor met woorde en praat soos min, voor in die linie vir enige oorlog om diegene wat sy liefhet te verdedig en klein soos n pikkewyn. Altyd n geldjie byderhand vir oop hand langs die pad en n lewende voorbeeld van nooit opgee nie...

Behalwe toe ons n foto moes neem gister. Ouma het nie lippe ini handsak gehad nie en ek was toe al effe bleek na n lang dag. 😂 so toe kies ons n ouer kiekie

Maar ons groot stop was by die oudioloog Minka Janse van Rensburg. Dankie dat jy so mooi na ouma se ore gekyk het! Sommer net n shout out om mense soos julle te waardeer. Jy was vriendelik, behulpsaam, en met jou ervaring in jou veld het jy oums so mooi gehelp. Ek was nie eens nodig om naby te wees nie en ouma is mal oor jou.

My volgende gehoortoets is by jou. Om te weet ek kan goed hoor. En te onthou ek kan dalk beter luister ook. 😂

🎧🌍 Today is World Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) Awareness Day 🌍🎧

Did you know that some people can hear perfectly well, but still struggle to understand what they hear—especially in noisy environments or when instructions are complex?

That’s Auditory Processing Disorder (APD).

🧠👂 APD is a neurological condition where the brain has difficulty processing the sounds it hears. It’s not about hearing loss—in fact, most people with APD have normal hearing. It’s about how the brain interprets and makes sense of those sounds.

Children and adults with APD may:
➡️ Struggle to follow spoken instructions
➡️ Have trouble understanding speech in noisy places
➡️ Frequently ask for repetition
➡️ Seem inattentive or easily distracted
➡️ Experience academic challenges, especially with reading and language

🔬 So how is APD diagnosed?

That's where an audiologist comes in. Audiologists are trained professionals who conduct a comprehensive series of specialized tests to assess how the brain processes auditory information. These tests often require quiet, controlled environments and are tailored to each individual's age and language ability.

👂💡If diagnosed, audiologists can also guide families and individuals toward helpful interventions, including:

➡️Auditory training therapy
➡️Classroom accommodations (like preferential seating or assistive listening devices)
➡️Strategies to improve listening and memory skills

💙 Awareness is the first step to understanding and supporting those with APD. Let’s use today to share, learn, and listen—with compassion.

🌎World Autism Awareness Day 🌎

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition that affects communication and behavior. While every individual with autism is unique, some may experience differences in how they process sounds.

🔊Autism & Hearing🔊

Some children with autism also have hearing loss, which can be mild to significant.

Others experience auditory processing disorder (APD), making it difficult to understand sounds, even with normal hearing.

Sound sensitivity (hyperacusis) is common—some sounds may feel overwhelming, while others may go unnoticed.

👂How Can an Audiologist Help? 👂
An audiologist can assess hearing and recommend strategies such as assistive listening devices, and auditory training to help children navigate their sensory world more comfortably.

Let’s raise awareness and support every child in finding their unique way of hearing and communicating!
