🍂👂 October is National Audiology Awareness Month!

Hearing connects us to the people, conversations, and moments we love. This month, Capital Hearing Wellness Center is celebrating the importance of hearing care and the audiologists who help people hear and live well.

As a Doctor of Audiology, Dr. Lindsay Allison provides personalized care that goes beyond choosing hearing aids from comprehensive hearing evaluations and tinnitus management to hearing protection and ongoing support.

💜 Struggling to follow conversations?
💜 Noticing ringing in your ears?
💜 Have hearing aids but still need help?

Let’s talk about your hearing. You deserve to feel heard, understood, and supported.

Today marks the inaugural Ear SHIELD Day.

The American Suppressor Association and the Academy of Doctors of Audiology have joined together to establish October 2 as an annual day dedicated to raising awareness about firearm-related hearing loss and the importance of protecting your hearing every time you shoot.

The message is simple:
Suppressors + Hearing Protection = SHIELD
Insulated Ears, and Lower Decibels

Fi***rm noise can cause immediate, permanent hearing damage. Suppressors can significantly reduce noise exposure, but they do not make fi****ms quiet. That’s why Ear SHIELD Day encourages shooters to pair suppressors with properly fitted hearing protection.

Academy of Doctors of Audiology President Jill Davis, Au.D., said: “Ear SHIELD Day gives every audiologist a simple, evidence-based message to share with patients: use a suppressor and wear hearing protection, every time.”

ASA President and Executive Director Knox Williams said: “Suppressors are hearing safety devices, plain and simple.”

ASA and ADA are also calling on policymakers to remove remaining barriers to suppressor access and recognize hearing conservation as a public health priority.

Don’t let these photos fool you; practicing musical instrument can cause hearing loss also. Don’t worry we have hearing protection for that too. Protect what you have!

🎉 Capital Hearing Wellness Center is TWO! 🎉

Two years ago, Capital Hearing Wellness Center started with an empty space, a vision, and a commitment to create something different for our community.

Every element was built from the ground up m; from the walls and equipment to the services we offer and, most importantly, the relationships we’ve formed with our patients.

Today, that vision has grown into a thriving, locally owned practice that I am incredibly proud of. 💜

Over the past two years, we’ve had the privilege of helping so many people hear better, manage tinnitus, stay connected to the people they love, and take a more proactive approach to their hearing and overall wellness.

Building something from nothing is never easy. But watching it become a place that people trust with their care has made every challenge worth it.

To every patient who walked through our doors, referred a friend, left a kind review, shared one of our posts, or simply believed in what we were building, thank you.

You are the reason Capital Hearing Wellness Center is thriving today.

Here’s to two years of hearing better, living well, and caring for our Maine community and to everything still ahead.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Capital Hearing Wellness Center! 🎂

👂 Your Ear Canal Does More Than Carry Sound!

The ear canal is a small but important part of your hearing system. It funnels sound toward the eardrum and it has its own built-in cleaning and protection system: earwax!

🟠 Earwax (cerumen) is actually good for your ears. It helps:
• Trap dust, dirt, and debris
• Protect the delicate skin of the ear canal
• Keep the canal from becoming too dry
• Naturally move debris outward where it can fall away

That means a little earwax is normal and healthy.

The problem comes when wax builds up or becomes impacted. Too much can cause muffled hearing, fullness or pressure, discomfort, itching, and sometimes tinnitus.

🚫 And those cotton swabs? They can push wax deeper into the canal instead of removing it.

If your ears feel plugged, have them checked before trying to clean them yourself. Sometimes what feels like hearing loss is simply a wax blockage!

👂 Healthy ears. Better hearing. Better living.

Did you know you can schedule an ear cleaning at our office?!

September is…

🧏🏻‍♀️Awareness creates understanding.
🤟Understanding creates connection.

Hearing isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither is communication.

This month is an opportunity to celebrate Deaf culture, increase awareness, improve accessibility, and recognize the many ways people experience and navigate the world through sound, sign language, technology, and visual communication.
