Invisible Hearing Aid

Wellington Hearing Care began providing the first invisible extended wear hearing aid, the Lyric, in the spring of this year. People love the fact that this aid is completely invisible and they don’t have to worry about batteries or putting the hearing aid in daily. Talking on the phone is simple and no one needs to know you wear hearing aids. One patient described his new found hearing with Lyric: “I would not consider living without my Lyrics now that I know how much better my life can be.”

Hats off to Parker Hannifin Canada of Fergus

Hats off to Parker Hannifin for providing hearing protection to all their staff. Noise exposure in the workplace is a common cause of hearing loss. In the past we were not aware of the damaging effects of noise. Today industries, like Parker Hannifin, recognize the value in protecting employees hearing and making personal hearing protection a mandatory health and safety procedure. Wellington Hearing Care offers hearing conservation programs including custom hearing protection for industry. We come right to your door! If you know of an industry that is looking to protect their worker’s hearing please forward our name.

Fun Hearing Facts:

• A dolphin's ability to hear is among the best in the world of mammals. Their echo location can sense tiny objects 120 yards away.
• Fish hear with ear bones (otoliths) which vibrate when sound waves pass through.
• Crickets have their hearing organs in their knees.
• Sitting in front of speakers at a rock concert can expose you to 120 decibels (dB), which will begin to damage hearing in only 7 1⁄2 minutes.

Hearing Loss and Children Facts:

• The average hearing loss resulting from a middle ear infection is 30dB. This is an educationally significant hearing loss.
