The other day, towards the end of her appointment, I had a patient ask me what my most difficult kind of patient was. You would think it’s someone with a severe hearing loss, oddly shaped ear canals, or even a difficult to test patient. It’s not any of those cases. The most difficult kind of patient, I tell her, is the one who hasn’t come
I recently consulted a patient who had significant hearing loss, on hearing device options. She was cautious, and mid-consult, paused and asked me this question: “But what if they work too well? What if my brain gets used to them and I can’t hear without them?” We discussed this question at great length. After she left, I reflected on our visit, and how fearful she
Two weeks into the new year, I am reflecting on how hard it has been to juggle change. I think about how sometimes, we hold stories of those around us as our own and how it affects how we navigate our decisions. I had a patient who came in to see me last week who had a pretty significant hearing loss and told me stories
“I wanted to know if they heard it as loud as I did,” my patient remarked, as we wrapped up a tinnitus treatment session. She was telling me that she was often checking in with friends and family, asking them if they experienced their tinnitus as loud as she had.

A few weeks ago, a patient revealed some things to me that he hadn’t shared in earlier visits. He told me that he hadn’t realized how much having a hearing loss had changed him. He told me that he would sit off to the side at social gatherings and when his friends would ask why he was so removed, he would tell them, “I just
Today I’m sharing Maria’s story. At 76 years old, she still works, as does her husband, who is 84 years old. She tends a farm and he cuts open coconuts on a roadside farm stand. Maria was also diagnosed with cancer and travels several hours to the city to receive treatment. She tells me how she is now anticipating hearing her husband speak to her,
At the moment this picture was taken, I am standing with my kids, bracing with pain but putting on a smile. We were about to take a tour in and around the pyramids of Egypt. It is all so surreal. The sights (and how my limbs are feeling). Ever find yourself asking, “How did I get here like this?” and also, “How will I keep
What Is the Main Difference Between a Cochlear Implant and a Hearing Aid? The main difference is how each device sends sound information to the hearing system. A hearing aid makes sound louder and clearer so the remaining hearing cells in the inner ear can detect it. A cochlear implant bypasses damaged parts of the inner ear and sends electrical signals directly to the hearing
Ear wax removal drops can be useful when wax feels dry, hard, or mildly blocked. They are not meant to dig wax out of the ear. Instead, they soften or loosen wax so the ear can clear it more naturally, or so a professional can remove it more comfortably. The safest approach is to treat ear drops as a limited home-care option, not a cure-all.
