June is Men's Health Month! Here are a few tips for men to help keep those ears as healthy as possible.

👂🔈Protect Your Ears from Loud Noises:

Use Ear Protection: When exposed to loud environments, such as concerts, sports events, or while using power tools, wear earplugs or noise-canceling earmuffs to reduce noise exposure.

Limit Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to loud sounds. Take breaks from noisy environments and reduce the volume when using headphones.
Maintain Ear Hygiene:

Clean Your Ears Safely: Avoid using cotton swabs or inserting objects into your ear canal. Instead, use a damp cloth to clean the outer ear and let earwax exit the ear naturally.

Address Ear Infections Promptly: If you experience pain, discharge, or hearing loss, consult a healthcare professional to treat any potential infections or issues.
Regular Hearing Check-ups:

Schedule Hearing Tests: Have your hearing checked regularly, especially if you are over 50 or work in a noisy environment. Early detection of hearing loss can help manage and mitigate its impact.

Monitor Changes: Pay attention to any changes in your hearing, such as difficulty understanding conversations or needing to increase the volume on devices, and seek professional advice if needed.
Healthy Lifestyle Choices:

Exercise Regularly: Physical activity improves blood circulation, which is beneficial for the health of your ears.

Maintain a Balanced Diet: Eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those that support ear health, such as vitamins A, C, E, and magnesium. Avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine, which can negatively affect hearing.
Avoid Ototoxic Medications:

Be Informed About Medications: Some medications, including certain antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs, can be harmful to your hearing. Discuss any potential risks with your doctor, especially if you have a family history of hearing loss.

Use Medications Responsibly: Follow the prescribed dosage and instructions carefully. If you experience any hearing issues while on medication, report them to your healthcare provider immediately.

By following these tips, men can take proactive steps to preserve their hearing and overall ear health.

Happy May and Happy National Speech-Language-and Hearing Month! This month, we will highlight education and awareness about hearing differences and the importance of early identification and intervention. We will also highlight different ways we are making a difference in our community.

If you are having trouble with her hearing, feel free to send us a message or contact your local audiologist for more information 🫶🏾.

More information about Auditory Processing Disorder for World Health Day.

Do you have Auditory Processing Disorder? APD could be the real reason you feel like you can't hear. In honor of Auditory Processing Awareness Day, we're excited to share a 29-minute video that dives deep into the world of Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)....

Happy World Health Day! The purpose of this day is to highlight an area in health that needs more attention. As an audiologist who specializes in Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and mobilizes these services to reach more people with APD needs, I choose to highlight this health need.

I am resharing this emotional and compelling TedX talk from Dr. Angela Alexander, Au.D., CCC-A, MNZAS who so eloquently breaks down the hidden prison of Auditory Processing Disorder.

Today is Day 4 of National PHAW. Today's theme: New Tools and Innovation 🥰

The American Public Health Association states, "Public health is all about preventing disease, diagnosing health conditions, and encouraging health and well-being".

Achieving these goals requires advancements in technology, tools, and processes. Some examples include the use of wearables to track health goals, telehealth applications, pharmacological vending machines, test kits, and mobile health delivery options.

Call to Action📣

In 2021, funds were raised to build the first tiny house hearing clinic on wheels using my revamped graduate school business plan, a vision, prayer, and a lot of faith.

Friends and family embraced the mission and helped me raise the funds to build the unit. The unit was built with accessibility in mind and was equipped so that no one, regardless of their degree of ability would be left behind.

In 2022, we launched and put the unit into action and are still going! With partnerships with various agencies such as cyber academies, Head Start centers, senior communities, and early intervention agencies, we have been able to help thousands access quality hearing health care. This has not been an inexpensive feat.

The tiny house clinic will be transitioning into a non-profit model (Tiny House Hearing, Inc.) to open up opportunities for securing additional funding, expanding services, and reaching more people in need.

I am calling for advisory board members to build a team with diverse skills and expertise. I am specifically looking for individuals experienced in fundraising, accounting/finance, marketing, social media, and community outreach as this will undoubtedly strengthen the organization's capacity to achieve its goals.

There will also be the opportunity to support financially if you so desire.

Stay tuned for more information soon.

Though my vision has moved swiftly, it can go further, with you!

💙For Autism Awareness Month, please join me in supporting efforts to ensure that legislation established to support research, programs and services for individuals with autism do not expire⏰🗓️.

The Autism CARES Act is the only federal legislation solely dedicated to improving the lives of people with autism.

Important parts of this law are set to expire on September 30, 2024, unless Congress acts quickly to pass the Autism CARES Act of 2024.

This Act holds the key to $2 billion for various programs, including:

Developing personalized treatments and services through research;
Training future healthcare professionals to ensure quality care;
Supporting pediatric training programs focused on developmental and behavioral challenges;
Translating research into clinical practice and valuable resources or toolkits for families;
Sustaining numerous other initiatives designed to meet the diverse needs of people with autism across all ages.

For Day 2 for Public Health Awareness Week the theme is “Creating Healthier Neighborhoods”.

According to the American Public Health Association, “where we live, eat, play and sleep impacts our health”.

We all can play an active role in creating a healthier environment for all.

As an audiologist who has hearing loss but identifies more as a hearing person, as one who has partnerships with multiple state, community and international agencies that provide mobile and virtual hearing services to individuals, I am always challenging myself to think about what we can do better, then implement those strategies.

🌟 Here are 6 ways to create healthier neighborhoods for people with hearing loss:

1. Establish quiet zones, 2. Utilize assistive listening technology, 3. Provide education on effective communication strategies, 4. Ensure accessibility in social events, 5. Strengthen partnerships for awareness, and 6. Expand broadband access.

There are many more ways. Please share how you think we can create healthier environments for people with hearing loss.

Let's build a more inclusive world together!

Happy Public Health Awareness Week!

Today's theme is civic engagement, which is crucial in promoting a healthier community for all.

As an audiologist, I understand the importance of actively participating in the decisions and actions that affect public health.

I am learning more about the interconnectedness of public health and audiology as I have become more involved with mobilizing services to vulnerable populations and regions.

Let's work together to create a more inclusive and equitable society where everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive.

Here are 5 ways that audiologists can participate in civic engagement.

Greetings and Happy 2024 to each one of you!

As we step into the new year, I find it fitting to reintroduce myself to those who might be recent additions to this page. I'm Dr. Carla Smiley, though my nearest and dearest call me Brandi.

In the realm of audiology, I serve as a mobile audiologist primarily in the areas south of Metro Atlanta. However, my passion often leads me to venture beyond my usual service zones, reaching places across Georgia for those who face barriers to accessing hearing healthcare. I provide services to patients from infancy on up. I have no age limits. I truly enjoy serving those in special needs populations.

A proud visionary, I've pioneered the concept of the first tiny house hearing clinic on wheels. Witnessing this vision materialize into reality and positively impact numerous lives brings me immense joy every time I step into the clinic. I am forever grateful to all who supported me in completing this project of passion and purpose.

2024 holds exciting journeys ahead, and I'm thrilled to embark on them together. I take pride in being an audiologist who strikes a balance between approachability and expertise. Down-to-earth yet knowledgeable, I make it a point to be a present and accessible provider.

For those who prefer a more traditional setting, you can find me in Fayetteville at my office space, where I dedicate two days a week to patient appointments by appointment only. My love for audiology knows no bounds, and I'm eager to share this passion with you throughout the year.

I am leaving you with quick facts about me.

Here's to a year of continued growth, learning, and better hearing for all! 🌟👂🦻🏾👂🏿
