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.

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 take good care of your hearing aids. Cleaning them daily, you make sure they are safe and snug on their charger when you go to bed. But you get pretty discouraged when your hearing aids suddenly stop working the way they did once. There are a few things you can do to diagnose the […]
While it may be true that older hearing aids are better than nothing, it’s likely that what small benefit you get from them may be costly. Hearing aid technology has progressed a great deal in the last few years! It’s changed to digital from analog, for one thing, and there are features currently that weren’t […]
Assistive listening devices and hearing aids can be used to treat the prevalent condition of hearing loss. Unfortunately, hearing loss frequently goes undiagnosed and unaddressed. For people with hearing loss, this can trigger feelings of social-isolation and depression. It can also lead to a breakdown in personal and professional relationships, which itself will foster more […]
We used to call them books-on-tape, way back when. Back then, of course, we didn’t even have CDs never mind streaming services. These days, they have a much better name; audiobooks.
