The only one thing that you asked for was for the trash to be taken out. A little bit later you discover your partner didn’t do it. “I Didn’t hear you”, they say. Crazy how that works, how your partner failed to hear the one thing you requested from them. This “selective hearing” is a […]
Invisibility is a very useful power in the movies. Whether it’s a mud-covered hero, a cloaked spaceship, or a stealthy ninja, invisibility allows people in movies to be more effective and, frequently, achieve the impossible. Invisible health conditions, unfortunately, are equally as potent and a lot less enjoyable. As an example, tinnitus is an extremely […]
Aging is one of the most common indicators of hearing loss, and let’s face it, try as we might, we can’t escape aging. You can take some steps to look younger but you’re still getting older. But you may not know that a number of treatable health conditions have also been associated with hearing loss. […]
You may think of your favorite sci-fi movie when someone mentions artificial intelligence (AI). But today, AI is a reality that we all better get accustomed to. When it comes to hearing aids, this is especially true. Gone is the time of one-size-fits-all hearing aids that merely increase the volume of sounds around you. Modern-day, […]
Millions of years ago, the world was much different. This steamy, volcano-laden landscape is where the long-necked Diplacusis roamed. Thanks to its really long neck and tail, Diplacusis was so large that it feared no predator. Actually, Diplodocus is the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period. When you’re hearing two sounds at the same time, […]
Denial is a typical first response. My loved one must be just making it seem as if their hearing loss is worse than it actually is. She’s too young to need a hearing aid. Perhaps, it’s become a joke between both of you. She is always asking you to repeat what you said. You joke […]
Summer has finally arrived! That means it’s time to get out and partake in all of the exciting activities that the season has to provide. But keep the health of your hearing in mind before you head out for a day on the beach, a rocking concert, or perhaps a great backyard get-together. When you’re […]
Remember when you used to be able to find those gallon buckets of ice cream at the grocery store? A whole gallon of ice cream, yum! But you begin to become more specific in your taste as you get older. You begin opting for the more specialized ice cream: the Turkey Hill, the Tillamook, the […]
When you take a shower, always remember to wash your ears. Whenever you say that, you unavoidably use your “parent voice”. Perhaps you even recall getting that advice as a child. As you get wrapped up in past nostalgia, that sort of memory can take you back to simpler times. But it’s also excellent advice. […]
What’s a cyborg? You likely imagine a half human, half machine when you think of a cyborg, especially if you enjoy science fiction movies (the human condition is frequently cleverly depicted with these characters). You can get some really wild cyborgs in Hollywood. But actually, someone wearing something as basic as a pair of glasses […]
