📋 Your October Hearing Checklist 🍂👂
A new month is the perfect time to give your hearing health some attention.
Here’s your quick checklist:
✅ Book your annual hearing screening – Early detection = better outcomes.
✅ Check your hearing aids & devices – Clean them, replace batteries/charge fully.
✅ Protect your ears – Keep earplugs handy for concerts, sports, or loud events.
✅ Watch for changes – Ringing in your ears, muffled hearing, or needing to turn up the TV are signs to get checked.
✅ Stay connected – Join conversations, social activities, and keep your brain active.
Healthy hearing means a fuller, safer, and more connected life. 🍁

⚠️ Hearing Loss & Workplace Safety ⚠️
In the workplace, hearing isn’t just about communication it’s about safety.
From hearing warning signals to detecting approaching vehicles or machinery, healthy hearing can prevent serious accidents.
The risks:
🔹 Untreated hearing loss can delay reaction time.
🔹 Missed verbal instructions can lead to costly mistakes.
🔹 Noise exposure without protection can cause permanent damage.
💡 Tip: Regular hearing screenings and proper hearing protection are essential for anyone working in noisy environments; whether it’s construction, manufacturing, or hospitality.
Your safety and the safety of those around you starts with your ears.

🔥 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. 🥩🎶

🤟 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 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.

🧠 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. 💡

Seasonal Allergies & Ear Pressure. What’s the Link?
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 hydrated 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 a “noisy place” setting into your hearing aid for extra clarity when you need it most.
