Frontenac Fun Fact Friday today looks at the 1 in 6 adults who experience some hearing loss!
Are you noticing you’re struggling more in certain situations, or staining to hear or understand certain voices? Perhaps, you’re the 1 in 6.
It might be time to have your hearing tested.
We are taking Frontenac Fun Fact Friday to a more personal level this week. Peggy has been in the industry a long time. She started here in Kingston, she moved on to the GTA area before moving back east to Belleville and then back here to Kingston. She has been an integral part of Frontenac Hearing Clinic since 2000. In 2014 she purchased the business from her mother Jeannine.
From clients, to employees, to members of the community, Peggy is well known for being kind and generous. Her big heart is what makes her special.
Peggy,
Congratulations on 30 years in the business!
Much love, Diana, Holly, Rachael & Laura
Frontenac Hearing brings you a science based fact today!
There are a few different factors that affect the speed of sound. The speed differs based on what medium the sound is traveling through, like air or water. 
For Frontenac Fun Fact Friday we wanted to share some information on loudness.
How loud is too loud? Take a look at this graphic to get a little bit of insight on how loud some everyday sounds actually are, and how they damage our hearing.
For some frame of reference, here are some other common sounds:
Breathing 10 dB
Clock ticking 20 dB
Whisper 30 dB
Refrigerator 40 dB
Normal conversation 60 dB
Happy Friday! For our Frontenac Fun Fact Friday we bring you an interesting fact about men and women.
According to the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), men are twice as likely than women to have hearing loss.
This increased likelihood is attributed to environmental factors since both men and women’s ears are anatomically the same.

Check out Frontenac Hearing Clinic’s latest Frontenac Fun Fact Friday!
Ears are hard working! They are always picking up sounds, even while we sleep. Our brains do some work in the back ground to block out the sounds.
Friday is for fun facts! Frontenac Hearing Clinic is proud to present some fun facts about hearing and ears.
This first Friday we will talk about the stapes (or stirrup) bone. The middle ear contains the three smallest bones int he human body, the smallest is the stapes. All three bones fit on the face of a penny! These bones work together to transmit sounds to the inner ear.
Tune in next week for another Frontenac Fun Fact Friday!
