Millions of years ago, the world was a lot different. This steamy, volcano-laden landscape is where the long-necked Diplacusis wandered. Thanks to its really long neck and tail, Diplacusis was so large that it was afraid of no predator. Actually, the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period is known as Diplodocus. When you’re hearing two […]
Denial is a typical first reaction. Of course, my loved one’s hearing loss isn’t as advanced as it seems. She’s too young to need a hearing aid. Maybe, the both of you have started to kid around with one another about it. She is always asking you to repeat what you said. You laugh about […]
Summer has finally arrived! That means it’s time to go out and partake in all of the fun experiences that the season has to offer. But before you go to the beach, the concert, or the backyard barbecue, don’t forget to take care of your hearing. Loud noises can harm your hearing, even if you […]
Do you remember those gallon buckets of ice cream you used to get at grocery stores? As a kid, they were the best thing ever because they promised an entire gallon of ice cream, that’s a lot of frozen custard and high-fructose corn syrup! But you start to become more specific in your taste as […]

Hollywood cyborgs can seem extremely outlandish. But in reality, someone wearing something as […]
You go above and beyond to make sure your hearing aids are well cared for. When you go to sleep, you always put them comfortably on the charger and you clean them daily. But you get pretty discouraged when your hearing aids abruptly stop working the way they used to. There are several things you […]
While it could be true that older hearing aids are better than no hearing aids, it’s likely that what small advantage you get from them may be costly. Within the past few years, hearing aid technology has made substantial progress. Ten years ago many of the features of modern hearing aids weren’t even on the […]
Hearing loss is a prevalent condition that can be alleviated simply with the use of hearing aids and assistive listening devices. However, hearing loss often goes undiagnosed and unaddressed. For individuals with hearing loss, this can bring about feelings of social-separation and depression. It can also lead to a breakdown in personal and professional relationships, […]
In the past they were called “books-on-tape”. Back then, obviously, we didn’t even have CDs never mind streaming services. These days, people refer to them as audiobooks (which, we won’t lie, is a far better name). With an audiobook, you will listen to the book being read by a narrator. It’s kind of like having […]
