Welcome To Animas Valley Audiology

Hearing loss is one of the country's most common health problems, yet it is easily treatable and doesn't have to affect the quality of one's life. At Animas Valley Audiology Associates (AVAA), it's our goal to provide every patient the best hearing healthcare based upon the individual's needs.

Have you ever found yourself struggling to follow a conversation in a busy restaurant, even though you can hear people talking?

You're not alone. Restaurants can be challenging listening environments because multiple conversations, music, and other background sounds compete for your attention. Reverberation can make speech even more difficult to understand.

For people with hearing loss, separating speech from background noise may require extra listening effort.

If you find yourself constantly asking people to repeat themselves at restaurants, it may be worth getting your hearing checked. Reach out to us at Animas Valley Audiology today at (970) 375-2369.

🌊 Well, Southwest Colorado, we always knew the Animas River was powerful, but we didn’t plan on bringing it quite this close to our front doors! The 100 year flood we locals have heard of but have never seen has hit us twice in one week! Looks like Durango is getting a little taste of Venice, and kayaks may soon be the preferred mode of transportation! 🛶😂

With flooding road closures, evacuations, and shelter in place orders impacting our community, Dr Jeep has decided Animas Valley Audiology will be closed tomorrow, Monday, November 2, 2026, to keep our patients and team safe. As much as we love going with the flow, we’d prefer to keep our commutes and appointments on dry land!

Please stay safe, avoid flooded roadways, and look out for your neighbors. Here’s hoping this unprecedented storm calms down and the sunshine sticks around. After a summer of historical drought, we can’t believe we are sending lots of dry-weather wishes to our Durango community!💙

Can You Hear… Or Are You Guessing?

Many people with hearing loss don’t notice it right away. The brain becomes surprisingly good at filling in missing words, especially in familiar conversations.

Common signs include:
• Asking people to repeat themselves
• Turning up the TV volume
• Struggling in restaurants or group settings
• Difficulty hearing on the phone

If any of these sound familiar, a hearing evaluation may help provide answers.

October is Audiology Awareness Month. Run through this list.

Hearing loss rarely shows up as silence. It shows up as mumbling, tiring conversations, and a TV volume someone else keeps fixing. Most people explain each one away as it comes.

If two or more sound familiar, a hearing test will tell you what's going on. Book yours this month.

**True or False: Hearing aids make everything louder?**

It’s a trick question! ❌ A properly fitted hearing aid isn’t designed to simply turn up the volume on everything.

Instead, a hearing professional programs the device to provide more amplification where you need it while keeping sounds you already hear well at a comfortable level.

That’s why proper fitting and programming matter. You don’t want everything around you to suddenly become louder—you want the sounds you’re struggling to hear to become clearer and more accessible.

Have you ever noticed that your tinnitus feels more bothersome during stressful periods?

That doesn't mean stress is the cause of every case of tinnitus, or that reducing stress will make it disappear. Tinnitus can have many contributing factors, and the right management approach varies from person to person.

If tinnitus is affecting your sleep, concentration, or quality of life, an audiologist can help you explore evaluation and management options.

**True or False: Hearing loss only happens to older people?

❌ False!

Hearing loss can affect people of all ages and can happen for many different reasons. Noise exposure, certain medications that can affect hearing, genetics, illness, and other factors can all play a role.

Hearing loss isn’t simply a normal part of getting older. If you’ve noticed changes in your hearing, it’s worth getting it checked—no matter your age.

Audiology is about building relationships, restoring confidence, and helping people reconnect with the sounds of life.

Sometimes, it means helping someone hear the laughter of a loved one, join a conversation, or experience the everyday moments they may have been missing.

Today, Animas Valley Audiology celebrates the possibilities that audiology can create and the dedicated professionals who help make those possibilities a reality.

Because hearing is more than sound. It’s connection. 👂❤️
