It’s not like you simply wake up one day, and suddenly can’t hear. For most individuals, hearing loss comes in degrees, particularly when it is linked to the aging process.

You know that scene in your favorite action movie where something explodes near the hero and the sound gets all high-pitched-buzzing? Well, guess what: that likely means our hero suffered at least a minor traumatic brain injury! To be certain, brain injuries aren’t the bit that most action movies focus on. But that ringing in […]
You’ve watched the videos on TikTok. Babies hearing their mother’s voices for the first time after being fitted for a hearing aid. Sometimes, at first, the baby is resistant.

Millions of years ago, the world was quite a bit different. This steamy, volcano-laden landscape is where the long-necked Diplacusis wandered. Diplacusis was so large, thanks to its long tail and neck, that no other predators were a threat. Actually, Diplodocus is the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period. When you’re hearing two sounds at […]
Denial is a common first reaction. Of course, my loved one’s hearing loss isn’t as advanced as it seems. She’s not old enough to need a hearing aid. Perhaps, it’s become a joke between both of you. She is always requesting that you repeat what you said. It’s only a game. You joke about it. […]
Finally, it’s summertime!! That means it’s time to go out and enjoy all the exciting experiences that the season has to offer. But don’t forget about your hearing’s health before you go out for a day on the beach, a rocking concert, or perhaps a great backyard get-together. When you’re out enjoying summer, remember that […]
Remember when you used to be able to get those gallon buckets of ice cream at the grocery store? A whole gallon of ice cream, yum! But you start to become more specific in your taste as you mature. Your ice cream tastes get more specialized and you have a tendency to opt for your […]
