November News

"Some of the days in November carry the whole memory of summer as a fire opal carries the color of moonrise."

The KY HEARS team traveled back to Dayton, KY to provide free hearing screenings to the students!

We had a fantastic time at the Hancock County Judicial Center.

The team returned to Graves County as well—thank you so much for having us & we loved seeing some new patients! We’ll be back in December.

Saw some new patients at the Hope Family Podiatry Center!

Brett Bachmann & Devon Woodlee visited Dale Dobson and discussed hearing health care for farming families and our wonderful partnership 🤝

Huge congratulations to Samantha Heilman, who recently became board certified as a hearing instrument specialist and a certified tinnitus care provider by the International Hearing Society! She has been part of many of our KY HEARS trips throughout the last couple of years, and we are proud to have her on the team.

Studies have shown that diabetes puts you at a higher risk for hearing loss. Uncontrolled high blood sugar can damage blood vessels in the body, including in the inner ear. This damage affects circulation to the hair cells in the ear, which play a vital role in the hearing process. Lack of circulation can permanently damage the cells and contribute to hearing loss.
