For just a second, picture that you have a job as a salesperson. Now imagine that you have a call scheduled today with a really important client. Multiple agents from their offices have gathered to discuss whether to employ your company for the job. All of the various voices get a bit jumbled and difficult […]
Isn’t pizza interesting? You can alter the toppings, sauces, even the cheeses on it, but as long as it satisfies a few general criteria, it’s still a pizza. Hearing loss is similar. Symptoms and presentations are caused by numerous different issues, loud noises, genetics, age, or ear obstructions, but as long as you have a […]

Your hearing won’t be simply gone one day when you wake up. Hearing loss, particularly when it’s associated with aging, usually progresses in degrees. Some signs appear earlier, though, and you don’t detect there is a problem right away. The initial symptoms of progressive hearing loss are subtle. Identifying them sooner is essential to slow […]

Diplacusis is a hearing condition […]
Summer is here! That means it’s time to go out and enjoy all the fun experiences that the season has to offer. But before you go to the beach, the concert, or the backyard cookout, don’t forget to take care of your hearing. Loud noises can harm your hearing, even if you don’t think they’re […]
When you take a shower, always remember to clean your ears. It’s hard not to say that in your “parenting” voice. Maybe when you were a kid you even remember your parents telling you to do it. As you get caught up in past nostalgia, that sort of memory can take you back to simpler […]

Hollywood cyborgs can seem extremely outlandish. But in reality, somebody wearing something as simple as a pair of glasses could […]
In the past they were called “books-on-tape”. Back then, obviously, we didn’t even have CDs let alone streaming services. Nowadays, people call them audiobooks (which, we won’t lie, is a far better name). An audiobook gives you the ability to read a book by, well, listening to it. It’s a bit like when you were […]
