Did you also know that decreased hearing sensitivity reduces cues for environmental awareness?
Research has shown that hearing loss may also be a risk factor for falls, which happens to be a huge public health concern! Even mild hearing loss is associated with 3x greater risk of falls.
Amplification (which has been shown to improve quality of life) may help those stay alert, aware, and balanced!!!
Staying healthy and safe at home includes preventing falls! (Johns Hopkins Medicine, 2012; National Council on Aging, 2020).
If you have concerns about your hearing and/or balance, make sure to call today to make an appointment to be seen by one of our ENTs and audiologists!

🤧ALLERGIES OCCUR IN THE FALL TOO!
While many people associate allergies with the spring season, the fall is also a common time of the year to have allergy symptoms. But sometimes it can be tricky trying to distinguish allergy from the common cold which frequently occurs this time of the year. Although colds and seasonal allergies may share some of the same symptoms, they are very different.
If you suspect you may have allergies, or if you are still not sure, an allergist at ENTA can help make an accurate diagnosis and come up with an effective treatment plan…even if you feel you’ve tried every allergy medication!
To schedule a visit with an Allergist give us a call at 1-855-ENTA-DOC or book online at ENTADOC.com. We’re here to help you feel better!
Did you know that migraines are one of the most debilitating chronic disorders in the US?! In fact, about 40% of migraine patients have some accompanying vestibular syndrome involving disruption in their balance and/or dizziness, which is often more persistent and debilitating than the underlying headache. Treatment for this disorder may include medications, vestibular rehabilitation, and lifestyle modifications (VeDA, 2020). If you experience the symptoms outlined above, make sure to call us to schedule an appointment with one of our ENTs!

Another common vestibular disorder is Meniere’s disease, which is a chronic inner ear disease that typically affects only one ear. Meniere’s disease can occur at any age, but is found to be more common during middle-aged adulthood. Meniere’s disease can present with unpredictable episodes and lead to fluctuating hearing sensitivity. As seen in the list above, Meniere’s patients typically suffer from 4 classical symptoms: hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, and aural fullness. Unfortunately, this disease can unexpectedly interrupt one’s lifestyle, causing fatigue and stress (Mayo Clinic, 2020). If you have experience any of the above symptoms, make sure to schedule an appointment with one of our ENTs! #balanceawarenessweek #vestibulardisorders
