There are many forms of protection products available in today’s world that accel in shielding your ride from various types of damage. However, the most popular product we install by far is Paint Protection Film, or PPF for short. XPEL Ultimate Plus is a thin, optically clear invisible polyurethane film that protects your car’s paint from scratches, rock chips, UV damage and daily wear and tear. It will enhance the factory finish for many years while not altering the colour. If damage occurs, the film often prevents harm to the paint, saving costly body shop repairs. Below, we have put together a list of reasons why you should consider PPF for your car.

Professionalism: White Coats or Warm Connections?

What does it mean to be a professional in an audiology clinic?

Is it about wearing a pristine white coat, maintaining a strict demeanor, and creating a clinical environment that feels sterile and authoritative? Or is it about fostering genuine human connections, laughing with clients, and allowing space for their stories to unfold?

For me, professionalism isn’t about rigid formality—it’s about listening carefully, not just to the audiogram but to the person sitting across from me. It’s about recognizing that hearing loss isn’t just a set of thresholds on a chart; it’s a lived experience that affects relationships, careers, hobbies, and self-identity.

I’ll admit that at times, I’ve felt self-conscious about my approach. I prioritize comfort in my clinical attire, favoring clothing that allows me to move freely and feel at ease –its not uncommon to see me in oversized slacks and sneakers.

I let conversations meander, allowing clients to share their joys and sorrows as they pertain to their hearing. I laugh with them, I listen to their stories, and sometimes, I get distracted by the richness of their experiences. Over the years, I’ve come to realize that these moments of shared humanity don’t detract from my professionalism—they define it. Clients don’t come to us just for test results; they come because they want to be heard. I think they want to know that their concerns matter, that their communication struggles are understood, and that their victories—big or small—are worth celebrating. A hearing aid fitting isn’t just about programming frequencies; it’s about the first time someone hears their grandchild’s giggle clearly again, or a beloved family dog’s nails as they tippy tap across hardwood or th punchline in a witty British comedy without closed captioning. A

tinnitus consultation isn’t just about sound therapy; it’s about helping someone reclaim their sense of peace. Providing an APD diagnosis and planning therapy isn’t just comparing scores to normative data – its helping someone understand their learning and validating the concerns they’ve likely had lifelong.

There is, of course, a balance to be struck. Professionalism does require expertise, ethical integrity, and evidence-based practice. You should be able to count on your audiologist to be your audiologist – obviously. But it also requires empathy, patience, and a willingness to meet clients where they are—emotionally as well as audiologically.
