The world was very different millions of years ago. The long-necked Diplacusis roamed this volcano-laden landscape. Diplacusis was so large, thanks to its long tail and neck, that no other predators were a threat. Actually, Diplodocus is the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period. When you’re hearing two sounds simultaneously, that’s a hearing condition called
It’s a normal first response – denial. My loved one must be just making it seem like their hearing loss is more severe than it really is. She’s not old enough to need a hearing aid. Maybe, the both of you have begun to kid around with one another about it. She is always asking
Summer has finally arrived! This summer season has a lot of fun. But don’t forget about your hearing’s health before you head out for a day on the beach, a rocking concert, or maybe an enjoyable backyard get-together. 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

Hollywood cyborgs can seem extremely bizarre. But the reality is that, technically, anybody who wears
You take care of your hearing aids. Cleaning them daily, you make sure they are safe and snug on their charger when you go to sleep. Suddenly and discouragingly, your hearing aids are no longer working the way they once did. There are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue, thankfully. Not
While it may be true that older hearing aids are better than nothing, chances are what small benefit you get from them may be costly. Within the past few years, hearing aid technology has made substantial developments. It’s changed from analog to digital, for one thing, and there are features currently that weren’t even on
Hearing loss is a common condition that can be alleviated easily with the use of hearing aids and assistive listening devices. Unfortunately, hearing loss frequently goes undiagnosed and untreated. 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
