It isn’t like you simply wake up one day, and suddenly can’t hear. Hearing loss, especially when it’s associated with aging, generally advances in degrees. You may not detect it’s taking place right away but some signs do show up earlier. The early symptoms of progressive hearing loss are discrete. Delaying the progression of hearing […]
You know that scene in your favorite action movie where something blows up near the hero and the sound goes all high-pitched-buzzing? Well, at least some degree of minor brain trauma has likely happened to them. Naturally, action movies don’t highlight the brain injury part. But that high-pitched ringing is something called tinnitus. Normally, hearing […]
TikTok has some really amazing videos you’ve probably seen. Babies hearing their mother’s voices for the first time after being fitted for a hearing aid. In some of these videos, the baby is uncertain at first. When the doctor attempts to place the hearing aid in their ears, they fight against it. They might cry […]
Pizza is a fascinating thing. You can change the toppings, sauces, even the cheeses concerned, but as long as it meets some basic criteria, it’s still a pizza. That’s similar to hearing loss. As long as you are having trouble hearing sound, whether it’s a result of an obstruction, age, loud noise, or anything else, […]
Have you ever woken up after a night’s sleep and heard birds singing a delightful song through your open window? Most people probably don’t even know that the name for those bird-songs is the “dawn chorus”. For whatever reason, birds see the sun coming up and decide to start singing their favorite songs. The songs […]
A car isn’t really an impulse buy (unless you’re very, very rich). Which means you will most likely do a great deal of research ahead of time. You look at reviews, you assess prices, and you consider gas mileage. (You’re on Google a lot.) It makes sense to do this amount of research. For most […]
Millions of years ago, the world was quite a bit 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 called Diplodocus. When you’re hearing two […]
Denial is a common first response. Of course, my loved one’s hearing loss isn’t as bad as it seems. She’s too young to need a hearing aid. It’s possible, the both of you have begun to kid around with each other about it. She is always requesting that you repeat what you said. You laugh […]
Summer is here! This summer season has a lot of fun. But don’t forget about your hearing’s health before you go out for a day on the beach, a rocking concert, or maybe a great backyard get-together. Loud noises can damage your hearing, even if you don’t feel like they’re that loud. In the summer […]
Do you recall those gallon buckets of ice cream you used to get at supermarkets? An entire gallon of ice cream, yum! But as you grow up, you begin to get a little more specific. You start going for the more specialized ice cream: the Haagen-Daaz, the Tillamook, the Ben & Jerry’s. All of a […]
