When you’re a youngster, falling is just a part of life. Wiping out on your bike? That’s typical. Tripping over your own feet when you’re running outside? Happens every day. Kids are very limber so, no big deal. They don’t typically stay down for very long. As you grow older though, that becomes less and […]
The only one thing that you asked for was for the trash to be taken out. But, unfortunately, it never got done. When you ask why it didn’t get done, your partner says “I never heard you ask me”. Why are you not surprised that your partner failed to hear the one thing they wanted […]
Invisibility is a very useful power in the movies. Whether it’s a mud-covered hero, a cloaked spaceship, or a sneaky ninja, invisibility allows people in movies to be more effective and, frequently, achieve the impossible. Invisible health problems, regrettably, are just as potent and much less enjoyable. Tinnitus, for example, is a really common condition […]
Aging is one of the most typical indicators of hearing loss, and let’s face it, try as we may, we can’t escape aging.

Subtle changes in your hearing can be difficult to detect because of how gradually hearing loss typically advances. Even though children are regularly tested, most adults don’t even consider scheduling a hearing test like they would their vision. So why would your hearing be any less important than your eyesight? It’s worthwhile to have routine […]
Have you ever lost your earbuds? (Or, perhaps, accidentally left them in the pocket of a pullover that went through the washer and dryer?) All of a sudden, your morning jog is a million times more boring. Your commute or bus ride is dreary and dull. And the audio quality of your virtual meetings suffers […]
Hearing loss has a reputation for advancing slowly. This can make the symptoms difficult to detect. (After all, you’re only turning up the volume on your television once in a while, it’s nothing to worry about, right?) Sometimes that’s true but in some cases, it isn’t. Sometimes, hearing loss can happen abruptly without any early […]
