Why the Brain?

Hearing health is deeply connected to brain health.

Brain Strain

Hearing loss causes the brain to work harder to understand sound. The extra cognitive effort causes a strain on mental resources, leading to faster cognitive decline overtime.

Brain Fitness

Restored hearing gives the brain access to more sound information to process. This is essential for the brain’s neuroplasticity – the brain's ability to form new neural connections and adapt over time.

Brain Shrinkage

Hearing loss can impact brain shrinkage especially in areas that process sound and memory. You can only remember what you hear clearly.

Auditory Deprivation

When the brain isn’t receiving enough auditory input due to hearing loss, it begins to reorganize itself to compensate for the missing information. This auditory deprivation can affect how the brain processes sound in the future, even if hearing devices are worn. Early treatment of hearing loss keeps auditory pathways in the brain active.

Social Withdrawal

Maintaining strong social connections are linked to cognitive health. Engagement in social activities reduce the risk of isolation and loneliness, that could lead to frustration, lack of confidence and depression. Mental well-being is essential for overall brain health. Protecting your hearing health is one of the best investments you can make for your brain's long term well-being. Treating hearing loss in not just about restoring sound but more about maintaining mental agility, emotional wellness and cognitive resilience.

“ I keep you connected to your world and manage the highest risk factor associated with cognitive decline – hearing loss “

Otoscopic Examination

Using video otoscopy we keep you involved – you get to see what we see … the first step in exploring your hearing health – your ear canal and tympanic membrane

Comprehensive Diagnostic Hearing Assessment

This evaluation identifies any hearing loss or issues within the outer ear canal, middle ear or cochlea. Further assessment can indicate if retro cochlea pathology along the auditory pathway may require specialist referral . Assessment with pure tones and recorded speech provide accurate analysis of your hearing thresholds.

Typmanometry

This test evaluates the health and function of the middle ear.

Cognitive Processing Screening

Early detection and treatment of hearing health is crucial for lifelong brain function. With that in mind we offer more than a hearing evaluation.
A first in the Garden Route, our holistic approach to hearing health care includes cognitive processing screening to detect potential cognitive impairment in memory, visuospatial and executive function, often associated with hearing loss. This can assist you in addressing risk factors to potentially change the the course of the impairment.
“Aging is inevitable – decline is optional.” – Dr Kieth Darrow

Tinnitus Management

Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing or other noises in the ears when no external sound is present.
TINNITUS RETRAING THERAPY (TRT) is a specialized approach that helps reduce the impact of tinnitus. By combing sound therapy and counselling, TRT retrains the brain to minimize awareness of tinnitus sounds.

We don’t sell hearing aids – rather we recommend treatment options for degenerative hearing loss to ensure optimal hearing and cognitive health …know the difference…

Precision Hearing Device Fitting

Unlike traditional fitting methods that are largely subjective, all our hearing aids are fitting using Speech mapping for precise hearing aid fitting. This eliminates guess work and measures how sounds are processed through the hearing aid in real-time to customize the fitting to your unique hearing profile.
