🚫 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 a “noisy place” setting into your hearing aid for extra clarity when you need it most.

🚨 Is That Toy Too Loud? What Every Parent Should Know 🎧🧸

They may look fun and harmless—but some toys can reach noise levels over 100 decibels, putting your child’s hearing at serious risk 😱

📢 Sound-emitting toys held close to the ears (like toy phones, musical instruments, or sirens) can cause permanent hearing damage over time, especially with repeated exposure.

🧠 A child’s ears are still developing, and their sensitivity to loud sounds means early damage can go unnoticed until it’s too late.

💡 What can you do?
✔️ Check toy volume before purchasing
✔️ Encourage use at a distance from

👀 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, can cause gradual hearing damage over time.

Other sneaky culprits? 🧹 Vacuum cleaners, blenders, even some power tools.

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

💬 Tag a friend who might need to hear this!

👶 Is Your Toddler Really Just "Not Listening"… or Could It Be a Hearing Problem? 💔

As parents, we celebrate 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 intervention is everything. Your toddler deserves 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 a caring, proactive parent. 💛
