You’ve watched the videos on TikTok. Babies, after they just get fitted for hearing aids, hearing the voice of their mother for the first time. In some videos, the baby is uncertain initially. They struggle when the doctor attempts to place the device in their ear. Before they smile with delight, they may cry a […]
Pizza is an interesting thing. You can switch up the toppings, sauces, even the cheeses concerned, but as long as it meets some basic criteria, it’s still a pizza. Hearing loss is similar. Symptoms and presentations are due to many different issues – loud noises, genetic factors, age, ear blockages – but as long as […]
Have you ever slept with the window in your bedroom open and woken up to the beautiful sound of birds singing just as the sun comes up? Most people probably aren’t even aware that the name for those bird-songs is the “dawn chorus”. Birds see the sunrise and, for some reason, decide it’s time to […]
A car isn’t really an impulse purchase (unless you’re really rich). Which means you will most likely do a great deal of research first. You look at reviews, you compare prices, and you consider gas mileage. (You’re on Google a lot.) This level of research is logical! You’re about to spend tens of thousands of […]

Thanks to its really long neck and tail, Diplacusis was so big that it was afraid of no predator. Actually, Diplodocus is the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period.

It’s a normal first response – denial. My loved one must be simply making it seem as if their hearing loss is more severe than it actually is. She’s not old enough for a hearing aid. It’s possible, the two of you have begun to joke around with one another about it. Your loved one […]
Summer has finally arrived! This summer season has tons 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 a great backyard barbecue. Loud noises can damage your hearing, even if you don’t feel like they’re very loud. So it’s essential […]
Do you recall those gallon buckets of ice cream you used to find at grocery stores? A whole gallon of ice cream, yum! But as you grow up, you begin to get a bit more specific. Your ice cream preferences become more specialized and you tend to go for your favorite brand. All of a […]
Don’t neglect cleaning your ears. Whenever you say that, you inescapably use your “parent voice”. Perhaps when you were a child you even recall your parents telling you to do it. That’s the type of memory that can take you back to simpler times as you wrap yourself in the nostalgia of youth. But it’s […]
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 frequently cleverly portrayed with these characters). You can get some really fantastic cyborgs in Hollywood. But in reality, somebody wearing something […]
