We will be hosting our third balance and vertigo support group meeting next Wednesday, 3/7 at 9:30am. New patients, friends and family members are always welcome to join in on the discussion. The coffee and tea are hot and the conversation is always informative.

Interestingly, and not so surprisingly a study at Johns Hopkins found and increase risk of falls in those who have even a mild hearing loss! Follow the link below to read more about the study. As always call or email our office with any questions.

Imbalance/Vertigo Support Group

Hello All!

Just wanted to remind everyone that the next imbalance/vertigo support group will be held on Wednesday February 1st at 9:30am. If you have any questions please email me at info@berkshearing.com, or call 610 404-8025. Looking forward to another great meeting!

Happy New Year!

Well, the new year is upon us and what a great start. We hosted our second imbalance and vertigo support group on January 4, which was well attended. It continues to be a great resource for those dealing with or family and friends of those who have suffered from vertigo, falls and general imbalance. It still amazes me how “dizziness” can affect people so differently, yet common themes often emerge. It is also a great venue for sharing ideas on management and coping strategies. Please join us on Wednesday February 1st at 9:30 for the next meeting.

On another note, I am happy to announce that The Twin Valley High School music department has been “adopted!” I have been speaking with director Daniel Long for some time, and just finished a presentation to the students regarding noise induced hearing loss and how to properly protect their ears. What a great group of students! All were very receptive, and I can not wait to return when their ETY earplugs arrive. One of my goals for 2012 is to ”adopt” atleast half of Berks County’s music programs.

Next week we will be performing hearing screenings at The Heritage in Green Hills

We are happy to announce that a new support group is forming for those living with chronic imbalance, vertigo and dizziness. The first meeting will be help in our Birdsboro office on Wednesday December 7th at 9:30am. The group will be led by our own audiologist, Dr. Bre Myers. The meeting will last approximately 30-40 minutes. This group is free to join, and coffee, tea and light snacks will be provided. If you or someone you know is living with a balance disorder please stop in, or call our office to let us know that you will be attending. It is our hope that this group will contiue to meet on a monthly basis. We will cover a variety of topics related to imbalance, falls risks, rehabilatative strategies, traditional and nontraditional treatment options, origins of vertigo.

Best wishes.

October is Audiology Awareness Month

Did you know that hearing loss is one of the top 3 health concerns in older adults? Recent studies show that untreated hearing loss increases a persons risk for depression, anxiety and dementia. Yet fewer than 25% of people with hearing loss seek treatment. Do yourself or your loved one a favor and set up an appointment today with one of our Doctors of Audiology.

Did you know that over 200,00 falls occur yearly in the United States adult population? A study at Vanderbilt University found that close to 70% of all elderly patients seen for falls risk assessment had undiagnosed inner ear disorders. Berks Hearing Professionals also evaluates and treats balance disorders.
