We typically think of hearing loss as something that advances little by little. This can make the symptoms difficult to detect. It’s nothing to concern yourself with, you just need the volume on the TV a little louder, no big deal, right? Sometimes that’s true but in some cases, it isn’t. It turns out hearing […]
As your body gets older, it isn’t difficult to notice the changes. You get wrinkles. Your hair turns gray (or falls out). Your joints start to stiffen.

Diplacusis was so big, 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 […]

When you’re out appreciating summer, don’t forget that your hearing can be harmed by loud noises. So it’s essential to take measures to safeguard […]
When you take a shower, always remember to wash your ears. It’s hard not to say that in your “parenting” voice. Perhaps when you were a child 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 […]
