Summer has finally arrived! This summer season has a lot of fun.

Loud noises can damage your hearing, even if you don’t feel like they’re that loud. So it’s
Remember when you used to be able to get those gallon buckets of ice cream at the supermarket? As a kid, they were awesome because they promised an entire gallon of ice cream, that’s a lot of frozen custard and high-fructose corn syrup! But as you grow up, you begin to get a little more
Don’t forget to wash your ears. It’s hard not to say that in your “parenting” voice. Maybe when you were a child you even recall your parents telling you to do it. As you get caught up in past nostalgia, that kind of memory can take you back to simpler times. But it’s also great
Do you know what a cyborg is? If your mind gets swept up in science fiction movies, you most likely think of cyborgs as kind of half-human, half machine characters (the human condition is often cleverly portrayed with these characters).

This can result in greater depression rates and feelings of separation in those who have hearing loss. And these feelings of depression and separation can be
Books-on-tape was what we used to call them, once upon a time. Naturally, that was long before CDs, not to mention digital streaming. These days, people call them audiobooks (which, to be honest, is a much better name). With an audiobook, you will listen to the book being read by a narrator. It’s kind of
Do you recollect the old tale about Johnny Appleseed? When you were younger you likely heard the story of how Johnny Appleseed traveled around bringing fresh apples to communities (the moral of the story is that apples are good for you, and you should eat them). Actually, that isn’t the entire truth. The real Johnny
Have you ever been in the middle of the road and your car breaks down? That really stinks! You have to pull your car safely to the side of the road. And then, for whatever reason, you probably open your hood and have a look at your engine. Humorously, you still do this despite the
There are three kinds of individuals out there: those who are really interested and fascinated by history, those whose eyes gloss over and they begin to fall asleep when history is mentioned, and people who think that aliens are responsible for history.
