You’ve watched the videos on TikTok. Babies, after they just get hearing aids, hearing the voice of their mother for the first time. Sometimes, initially, the baby is resistant. When the doctor attempts to put the hearing aid in their ears, they fight against it. They may cry before they smile with delight. A range […]
Isn’t pizza cool? As long as it meets a few standard criteria (crust, sauce, cheese, etc.) whatever the toppings, it’s still pizza. That’s also like hearing loss. As long as you are having difficulty hearing sound, whether it’s caused by a blockage, age, loud noise, or whatever else, it’s still hearing loss. Stopping the damage […]
Have you ever woken up after a night’s sleep and heard birds singing a pleasant song through your open window?

A car isn’t really an impulse purchase (unless you’re really rich). Which means you will most likely do a great deal of research first. You check out reviews, you assess prices, and you evaluate gas mileage. (You’re on Google a lot.) It is sensible to do this amount of research. You’re about to spend tens […]

Diplacusis is a hearing condition that causes you to […]
It’s a normal first response – denial. 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. Your loved one always asks you to repeat yourself. You laugh about it as if it’s simply […]
Summer has finally arrived! That means it’s time to get out and partake in all of the fun activities that the season has to offer. But don’t forget about your hearing’s health before you head out for a day on the beach, a rocking concert, or maybe an enjoyable backyard barbecue. When you’re out enjoying […]
Remember when you used to be able to get those gallon buckets of ice cream at the supermarket? As a kid, they were the best thing ever because they offered a whole gallon of ice cream, that’s a lot of frozen custard and high-fructose corn syrup! But you begin to become more particular in your […]
When you take a shower, always remember to wash your ears. It’s hard not to say that in your “parenting” voice. Maybe you even recall getting that advice as a kid. As you get wrapped up in past nostalgia, that kind of memory can take you back to simpler times. But it’s also excellent advice. […]
What’s a cyborg?
