By any chance, has anyone reading this had the #OSIA surgery? My #audiology Doc recommended it, and it looks like my insurance will cover it. (I have almost complete #hearing loss at my right side after a stroke)

Swansea audiology team steps up for autism charity with 5-kilometre walk

Led by audiology director Amy-Ffion Davies, whose 4-year-old son Sylifan is autistic, the team walked five-kilometres along the Swansea seafront from Mumbles, interacting with the community along the way.

Ms Davies was joined by retail director Chris Jones, trainee hearing aid dispenser Hayley Jones and other colleagues from the Specsavers Swansea and Mumbles stores. Together, they raised £250 through in-store donations and an online fundraising page.

Ms Davies says: ‘As a parent of an autistic child who is non-verbal and at the higher end of the spectrum, the support we’ve received from the National Autistic Society has been invaluable. It means so much to be able to give back and support the charity that has helped us so much, while also raising awareness of the experiences of autistic individuals and the importance of early understanding and support.

‘At Specsavers, we’re passionate about giving back to our community and this was a meaningful way for our team to support a cause that helps so many families in the area. We’re really grateful to everyone who donated or cheered us on along the route – your support made the day even more special.’

The National Autistic Society is the UK’s leading charity for autistic people and their families, providing support and campaigning for improved rights and services.

Kim Featherstone, assistant director of fundraising and supporter engagement at The National Autistic Society, says: ‘We want to say a big thank you to the audiology team at Specsavers Swansea for their support during World Autism Acceptance Month. It is so wonderful to see businesses and colleagues come together in this way and the Swansea audiology team is a brilliant example of this.

‘All money raised will go towards our vital work to achieve our aims and ultimately help create a society that works for autistic people. Without the kindness of supporters like the Specsavers team in Swansea, we couldn’t do what we do.’ 

Specsavers Swansea is open seven days a week. For more information, to book an appointment or browse the online store, visit specsavers.co.uk/stores/swansea.

🌟 𝗧𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 (𝟯𝗿𝗱 - 𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆) 🌟 is here, and it's time to spread the word about this often misunderstood condition! Tinnitus affects 15-20% of people and is not a condition itself but a symptom of underlying issues like age-related hearing loss, ear injuries, or circulatory disorders.

📜 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:

Ancient Egyptians called it the "bewitched ear" and used natural remedies.
Early Greco-Romans treated it symptomatically, using techniques like masking.
The Middle Ages saw experimentation with methods like ear candling.
French physician Jean Marie Gaspard Itard in the 19th century advanced the study of tinnitus, associating it with hearing loss.

🔍 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: While there's no universal cure, ongoing research and technological advancements have made managing tinnitus more feasible. If you experience persistent tinnitus, consult an audiologist.

Let's raise awareness and support those affected! 💙

#Audiology departments in NHS hospitals are vital to people with hearing related conditions of all ages and all incomes.

They’ve been seen as the Cinderella service that can be palmed off to the private sector for far too long.

Yes, there are long waiting times across the #NHS, but audiology services are still important especially to children and those who experience sudden deafness.

2025-01-07

‘because #audiology is not a consultant-led speciality, it is not subject to the standard laid out the #NHS constitution of 92% of patients receiving elective treatment within 18 weeks of referral – a key focus within the NHS’s new report.

However, we know that audiology is currently the worst performing diagnostic service.’

This is where assumption of private hearing care comes from

Apple’s AirPods Pro hearing health features are as good as they sound

Apple announced a trio of major new hearing health features for the #AirPods Pro 2 in September, including clinical-grade hearing aid functionality, a hearing test, and more robust hearing protection.

All three will roll out next week with the release of iOS 18.1, and they could mark a watershed moment for hearing health awareness.

#Apple is about to instantly turn the world’s most popular earbuds into an over-the-counter #HearingAid.

Text Shot: Over the last several days, I’ve been able to preview Apple’s hearing health features. At times, the experience has been emotionally intense. I’m someone who grew up with a Discman and iPod basically attached to my hip, and I’ve been to countless concerts over the decades. I also haven’t seen an audiologist since 2018 or so. That’s anything but unusual; Apple says 80 percent of adults in the US haven’t had their hearing checked in at least five years. Putting a test right on your iPhone is a great way to improve that trend.

The Trouble with Trebles

umbú asks "How can I translate my hearing test results to a music player's graphic equalizer so that I can boost certain frequencies to match how a recorded music track is meant to sound?" and flug replies, "Hmm, just by complete chance I've spent the past several days messing around with just exactly this ... and the end result is, my $20 or $40 headphones end up sounding as good as $200 or $400 models." Tons of great info here!
