From our Expert Hearing family to yours, have a wonderful and safe holiday season!!

Santa wanted to make sure he heard all of the little boys' and girls' wishes for presents this Christmas! So, he took some time out of his very busy schedule and stopped by our Rutland clinic in Kelowna for some adjustments on his hearing aids.

Did you know Insomnia can worsen the symptoms of tinnitus - also known as phantom ringing, buzzing, humming, or whistling that some people experience. Focusing on one's symptoms of tinnitus can make it difficult to fall asleep, and lack of sleep makes tinnitus seem much worse. It can be a vicious cycle. ... Contact us today for help with tinnitus or other hearing health concerns.

Curious about new hearing aid technology? Try hearing aids over the holidays, quietly at home and in noisier environments to experience their full benefits. Here's how it works:... 1. Click the link below to contact your local Expert Hearing office to schedule an appointment. 2. Have your hearing tested. 3. Receive a pair of hearing aids to trial over the holidays. NO DEPOSIT REQUIRED! 4. Return the hearing aids in January or purchase at a GREAT SAVINGS! Visit us online to reserve your trial! www.experthearingsolutions.com/hearing-aid-holiday-trials-/

Keep an 'ear' on your hearing aids this winter!! When going from the chilly outdoors to a warm building, wipe down your hearing aids and make sure they aren’t collecting condensation. Colder temperatures and moisture can cause your hearing aids to malfunction!

Tinnitus has caused much uncertainty and confusion. Even its pronunciation strikes much controversy (both ti-NIGHT-us and TINN-a-tus are appropriate). Tinnitus is the involuntary perception of sound originating from the head (McFadden, 1982). In other words, it is a noise people hear that does not exist in the surrounding soundscape.... Here's a great article to get the facts on tinnitus! https://producerhive.com/editorial/tinnitus/

Sleep is crucial to our physical and mental health, giving the body and mind the chance to rest and recharge. But did you know it's important for your hearing health as well? A lack of sleep can increase the risk of developing hearing loss and worsen the symptoms of tinnitus.

What does the lack of SLEEP have to do with your HEARING? Perhaps the biggest link between the two is the effect of insomnia on the cardiovascular system. Insufficient sleep is known to cause poor blood circulation throughout the body, and yes, that includes to your ears!... Tiny hair cells within the ear detect sound waves and translate them to the brain. They depend on strong blood flow to function properly. Cardiovascular issues can damage these fragile cells by starving them of good blood supply, causing hearing loss.

Masks are a part of our new normal. But how do we comfortably wear them with hearing aids? Here's a great infographic from Oticon with some useful tips. We're always here to help. If you have questions, please contact us at Expert Hearing Solutions!

There has been a LOT of talk recently about sanitizing so we wanted to make sure you're not forgetting about keeping your hearing aids as clean as possible! Here are some tips to keep them in working order.

Nothing can dim the light which shines from within. Maya Angelou #internationalwomensday #iwd2020

How can we protect our hearing? Stop smoking. Current smokers are at a 70% HIGHER RISK to have hearing loss than non-smokers.

Did you know? Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease. Even those with pre-diabetes have a 30% higher rate of hearing loss compared to those with normal blood sugar levels.... Managing diabetes can result in not only better hearing but your overall health!

Kind words for our awesome team in Oliver, BC!!

Starting today, Feb 3! Expert Hearing Solutions on Primrose Drive in Saskatoon has changed its hours to better serve you.

The Brain and Ears: The organs that hear together, stay together! Most people would agree that hearing is one of our most valuable assets. It keeps us connected with family, friends, and the activities we love. It also protects us from harm by notifying us of hazards like oncoming traffic and fire alarms. What some of us dont realize is how much of our hearing takes place in our brain. Read more on our blog!

Is taking better care of your hearing aids on your New Year's resolution list? If so, we have some tips to help! Always make sure your fingers are dry and clean before handling a hearing aid. When you remove your hearing aids at night, wipe them with a clean lint-free cloth and brush to remove any wax and/or moisture.... Remove any wax that has accumulated around the part that fits into the ear canal. While cleaning, hold the aid upside down so wax will fall out rather than get pushed inside the aid. Wax on the outer shell or earmold should also be removed to prevent damage and discomfort. Open the battery door after use to prevent unnecessary battery drain which will prolong battery life. Keep hearing aids in a safe place. When the aid is not being worn a hard shell case or hearing aid dehumidifier are the best options for storage. Not sure how to best clean your specific model of hearing aid or need help? Contact us! Happy New Year and Happy Hearing!!

Too cute not to share, especially during the season of joy and happiness.

Wishing you all a safe, happy and healthy holiday season!
