  • Ep. 92 I Don't Need Hearing Aids" | Common Myths Ep. 3
    Here is a #ThrowbackThursday that still stands true today! Few people know that even mild hearing loss can affect our health and cognitive abilities. Thankfully, our brains can easily "relearn" how to hear with hearing aids. In this episode of Common Myths, Chris Medina explains why hearing aids are so beneficial for everyone with hearing loss. Chris also brings on one of his patients to tell her inspirational story of how hearing aids made a positive impact in her life. We here it time and time again: "I don't need hearing aids". However after we are done with our hearing exam and the patient experiences the hearing aids for themselves we get a completely different response.

  • Ep. 90 Do you know the initial signs of hearing loss?
    Before we share with you guys our new episode later this week we wanted to inform you once more what the initial hearing loss signs are so you can be aware if you or anyone around you is experiencing these symptoms you can catch it early! It is always better to handle it sooner rather than later. With that said, here are the 3 main signs that you (or someone you know) is losing their hearing. Tinnitus: This is a ringing sound in your ear. You hear this mostly when things are quite. 25 million Americans experience this in one form or another and 90% of those cases have a degree of hearing loss! How we hear others: This can come up with you're asking people to repeat themselves. If you're also in a noisy environment and cannot follow along in the majority of the conversation. Device volume: Do you turn up your devices too loud? Maybe your loved ones keep telling you to turn down the TV. This can also happen when you find yourself putting your headphones to max capacity.

  • Ep 82: Reviewing Starkey's New Evolv AI with Starkey Rep Karla Castro

    Today I sat down with Karla Castro, Senior Account Executive at Starkey, for a special feature on their new Evolv AI. Here's what you need to know! In one word, the Evolv AI is "effortless." If you're looking for a top-of-the-line hearing aid, this is a great place to start. Evolv AI is Starkey's new, diverse line of hearing aids that can meet almost any hearing need. They range from small, invisible hearing aids to more intensive ones. One great addition is Edge Mode, a feature that automatically scans the environment and automatically improves the user's hearing quality. For loved ones that need additional support, Evolv AI can set medication and appointment reminders. In cases where a user falls down, it can also track the location of the incident. Finally, the Thrive app is a great feature. It's a downloadable phone app that allows users to easily adjust hearing aid settings, access additional capabilities, and even locate lost hearing aids– all through the phone.
