  • May is better hearing month Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on May 05, 2022 Are you ready? May is National Better Hearing and Speech Month. It's the perfect time for you or your loved one to act. Why the hurry you ask? Because like everything else in this world, if you don't use it; you LOSE it!

  • Can ear infections cause hearing loss? Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on May 04, 2022 Hearing loss can be caused by several different factors including aging, injury, noise exposure, and even heredity.

  • Don't enable your spouse Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on April 25, 2022 What is your health worth? Is it worth getting your hearing tested and making that step if you need to wear hearing instruments? What about your spouse? Are their needs as important as yours? Are you both as active as the other? Would you say that each of your memory capabilities is the same? Do you both want to live life to the fullest…to carry on... Read More
  • Biggest modifiable risk factor to prevent dementia Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on April 20, 2022 To Hear Better IS To Live Better... and to AGE Better. Everyone wants to grow old healthy. We do things to help ourselves stay healthy. We try to eat right and to get enough exercise. Many of my patients will tell me the secret is to “just keep moving!” This too is my belief… just keep moving. Hearing plays a major role in the aging process.... Read More
  • The best place to get hearing aids Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on April 15, 2022 Until recently, if you wanted to be treated for hearing loss or get hearing aids, you had one choice — see an audiologist or other licensed hearing healthcare professional.

  • Caring for your spouse when you both have hearing loss Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on April 06, 2022 If you have read any of my articles over the years, then you will probably have absorbed the fact hearing loss can increase the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s. It is a very stressful and tormented position to be in if you are the spouse of a person that is dealt this hand. Sometimes the person with dementia may be sweet as molasses but on the other...

  • Do you get lots of ear wax? Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on April 05, 2022 Do you have earwax? What do you do with it? Have you noticed that since you started wearing hearing aids in your ears all day long that you seem to be building up more ear wax? We all have it. Some people produce more ear wax than others.

  • Hearing loss can lead to social isolation Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on April 01, 2022 Loneliness and social isolation have been getting their fair share of attention lately.

  • How loud and for how long is key to avoiding noise-induced hearing damage Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on March 17, 2022 Exposure to loud noise is the second leading cause of hearing loss — after aging. It’s also one of the only causes that are preventable. We can’t do anything about aging or heredity. But we can minimize our exposure to noise, or at least take steps to protect our hearing. As a society, we’ve come a long way in taking hearing protection... Read More
  • Covid may cause hearing and balance issues Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on March 17, 2022 There is quite a bit of research going on as to whether or not COVID-19 is causing problems with hearing.

Most people are aware at this point of side effects such as shortness of breath, joint... Read More
  • Why can’t I hear well in the car? Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on March 04, 2022 When people find out I’m a hearing professional, they’ll often ask me some version of the following: “I can’t hear the kids in the backseat when we’re in the car. They’re trying to tell me about their day or ask me questions, but all I can do is nod and smile. Is there anything I can do to hear better in the... Read More

Kiefer, BC-HIS on February 18, 2022 For those who need convincing that hearing aids are worth the investment, today’s hearing statistic is one data point among many that should help convince you they are.

  • Hearing care services are important to hearing aid satisfaction Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on February 03, 2022 The best place to buy new hearing aids has always been and probably will always be in person from a hearing professional. Hearing-care services are almost always bundled in with the cost of hearing aids when you buy them from a hearing professional. That’s because hearing professionals know that getting used to wearing hearing aids takes time, practice and... Read More
  • How to properly clean your ears Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on January 18, 2022 Cerumen, commonly known as earwax, is key to a healthy ear. It collects dirt, debris and bacteria, preventing unwanted foreign bodies from entering the ear. It has lubrication properties to keep the ears from getting dry and itchy. And, it acts as an antifungal and antibacterial, helping to fight infections in and around our ears. But, let’s face it,... Read More
  • Tips for getting used to wearing new hearing aids Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on January 04, 2022 OK, think back to a year or so ago. Remember when you would go to a matinee and then after, when it ended and you left the theater, the daylight would overwhelm you temporarily? Well, the same thing happens when you first start wearing hearing aids. Your brain has gotten used to the quiet. It hasn’t received proper noise signals for as long as you’ve... Read More
  • Be supportive Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on January 04, 2022 We have all been there... excited about a new job, a trip, endeavor, or maybe just a great idea... then we share that enthusiasm with others, and then it happens... ALMOST EVERYONE is excited for you. But for many of us, there may be a “nay sayer” in the group. You know; “Negative Nellie”. We are all unique. We have different ideals,... Read More
  • Don't fear the unknown Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on January 03, 2022 Why do you think people put off correcting their hearing? Right off the bat… many will say that it is because hearing instruments are expensive. While that may be an underlying concern… usually it is not the primary reason. Often patients admit that they put off getting their hearing corrected due to the anxiety of being able to learn how to put a... Read More
  • Helping others to understand you Posted by Roseann B. Kiefer, BC-HIS on Sometimes we all have problems understanding exactly what someone has said to us. People may have a thick southern drawl or an English accent. Even people with good hearing may have to "listen twice" to catch what is being said. If you have a hearing loss or converse with someone with a hearing loss it is important to try and speak with distinction. How is this... Read More
