Het jy Die Burger gekoop vandag? Maart is Gehoor Bewusmakingsmaand en dit is ’n belangrike herinnering dat gehoorverlies steeds dikwels ondergediagnoseer word.

Vroeë toetsing en ingryping kan ’n groot verskil maak—dit verbeter kommunikasie, algemene welstand en langtermyn gesondheidsuitkomste. As jy of iemand na aan jou veranderinge in gehoor opmerk, oorweeg dit om ’n gehoortoets by ons te kom doen. 👂

What should you do if you have tinnitus?

If you experience ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other persistent sounds in your ears, the first step is to book a comprehensive hearing assessment. Tinnitus can have many underlying causes, and understanding your hearing profile helps guide appropriate management.

Management options may include counselling and education, hearing aids (if indicated), sound therapy strategies, lifestyle adjustments, and addressing contributing factors such as stress or hearing loss.

You don’t have to manage tinnitus alone — our experienced audiologists are here to support you with personalised care and practical solutions.

👂🌍 World Hearing Day – 3 March 2026

This year’s theme, led by the World Health Organization, is “From communities to classrooms: hearing care for all children.”

Around 90 million children and adolescents worldwide live with hearing loss — and many cases are treatable with early detection.

At Elmarie Thorpe Audiology, we’re proud to support children’s hearing health through comprehensive paediatric hearing assessments.

We offer specialised testing including:
-Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) testing,
-Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE),
-Auditory Processing Assessments,
-Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA), and -Conditioned Play Audiometry (CPA) — allowing us to accurately assess hearing from infancy through to school age.

Early identification makes a lasting difference in speech, learning, and development.

If you have concerns about your child’s hearing, don’t wait — early action matters. 💙

🦻 International Cochlear Implant Day | 25 February

A cochlear implant is a medical device that provides access to sound for people with severe to profound hearing loss who receive little benefit from hearing aids. Unlike hearing aids, it bypasses damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulates the auditory nerve.

Over 1 million people worldwide have cochlear implants—helping improve communication, independence, and quality of life. 💙
