If you play pickleball, or know someone who does, this one is worth reading! 🎾

Pickleball is now one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, with nearly 20 million players in the US. And this year, hearing health officially showed up on the court.

Phonak recently partnered with USA Pickleball to launch a nationwide campaign bringing hearing health education directly to players and fans at tournaments across the country. The idea is straightforward: pickleball is built on communication, quick reactions, and staying connected to your partner and the game. 🙏

All of that depends on hearing more than most players realize.

Indoor pickleball facilities in particular are notoriously loud environments. Hard floors, high ceilings, the constant pop of the ball. For someone with untreated hearing loss, those environments can be genuinely exhausting, and the game stops being fun.

If hearing has been making the court feel harder than it should, that is worth looking into before the season winds down.

Drop a 🎾 in the comments if you play. We would love to know how many pickleball fans are in our community. ⬇️

The FDA created a list of eight symptoms that mean you should skip OTC hearing aids completely and see an audiologist or ENT immediately:

Here they are:
🚩 Fluid, pus, or blood draining from your ear in the past 6 months
🚩 Sudden or rapidly progressing hearing loss
🚩 Hearing loss that is noticeably worse in only one ear
🚩 Ringing or buzzing in only one ear
🚩 Chronic dizziness or severe vertigo
🚩 Pain or discomfort in the ear
🚩 A visible deformity of the ear
🚩 A feeling that your ear is completely plugged

If any of these apply to you or someone you love, an OTC device is not the answer. These are signs that something medical may be happening, and putting a hearing aid in without knowing why could delay the care that actually matters.

Did you know most hearing aids come with a free app? 📲
While some patients love it, some never use it.
Which is completely understandable, as the devices themselves adjust on their own.
But here is what it actually does: 👉 it lets you adjust the volume, switch between listening programs, and in some cases activate a remote microphone feature, all from your phone, without touching your ears or drawing any attention to yourself.
The one I suggest starting with is the volume control. 📶 That’s it. Just that one feature, for the first few weeks. Once it feels natural, everything else is easier to explore.
If you downloaded the app when you got your devices and never looked at it again, it might be worth a second look. And if you are not sure where to start, that is exactly what follow-up appointments are for!

Did you know the FDA recognizes two completely different categories of hearing aids?

Most people don't. And it's one of the most important things to understand before you or someone you love makes a decision about their hearing!

Over-the-counter hearing aids became legal in 2022. You can now walk into a pharmacy or order online without ever seeing a doctor. For the right person, that accessibility is genuinely helpful.

👉 But here is what most people miss…

OTC hearing aids are strictly regulated for adults 18 and older with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss only. They are not designed for children. They are not designed for severe or profound hearing loss. And they are not a substitute for a clinical evaluation.

Prescription hearing aids are different. They are fitted and programmed by a licensed audiologist based on your exact hearing test results, and they cover all ages and all levels of hearing loss, from mild to profound. ✨

Same name. Very different product. Very different purpose.

If you or someone you love has been considering hearing aids, this is worth understanding before making any decisions! 📲 Message us!

One of the biggest reasons people put off trying hearing aids is the fear of committing to something they are not sure about.

➡️ What if they do not work the way I hoped?
➡️ What if I spend all that money and it is not the right fit?
➡️ What if I get home and it just does not feel right?

Those are fair questions., We think you deserve real answers.

So here is how we handle it. 👇

Every patient who starts with new hearing technology at our practice has at least 45 days to wear them in their real life. If at the end of that time something is not working the way you need it to, we fix it. And if it is still not right, you can return them.

No pressure, no penalty, no awkward conversation. 🙅‍♀️

This time of year feels like a natural reset, a little more structure coming back into daily life. If you’ve been thinking about doing something about your hearing, this is a great time. 💛

Questions about how the trial works? Send us a message! 📲 We are happy to walk you through it.

As the new school year approaches, it’s a great time to ensure your child is ready to learn, grow, and connect with confidence. 🤩🎒

Hearing plays a powerful role in the classroom, from following directions to building friendships, and even mild hearing loss can make those moments more challenging.

A simple hearing check before school starts can make a meaningful difference in your child’s success and comfort throughout the year!

If your child has a dentist and an optometrist it’s time to consider an audiologist! 🍎

Something I want families to understand, because it changes everything…

👉 When your parent goes quiet at a crowded dinner table, they are not being antisocial.
👉 When they laugh along with a story they clearly didn't follow, they are not being dismissive.
👉 When they ask you to repeat yourself, they are not being annoying.
👉 When they wave you off and say they’re fine, they might actually be exhausted.

Hearing loss doesn't feel the way most people expect it to from the outside. It isn't silence. It's an effort. Constant, invisible, exhausting effort. 😣 Just trying to follow a conversation in a loud restaurant can feel like you’re running a race no one else knows is happening.

It's laughing at the right moment because you caught a word or two and made your best guess, and praying nobody asks you to weigh in.

It's slowly, quietly, starting to prefer smaller gatherings. Shorter phone calls. Fewer situations where you might get it wrong.

When you understand what your parent is actually navigating, the conversation becomes less about convincing them of something and more about letting them know you see them.

This one is worth sharing with every parent you know. 👇
Researchers found that one in eight teenagers already shows measurable signs of noise-related hearing damage before they even finish high school.
Not older adults. Not factory workers. Teenagers.
The culprit is almost always the same, earbuds at high volume, for long stretches, every single day. The damage is gradual, invisible, and permanent. And because it happens slowly, most kids have no idea it is happening.
As a new school year starts and the earbuds go back in, it is a good time to check in. A baseline hearing evaluation takes less than an hour and gives you a clear picture of where your child's hearing actually stands.
Early awareness always leads to better outcomes. And this is one of those things that is much easier to protect than it is to reverse.
If you have been meaning to get this done, now is a good time. 🍎
