You’ve watched the videos on TikTok. 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 hesitant initially. When the doctor tries to place the hearing aid in their ears, they put up a fight. They could cry before they smile […]
Pizza is an interesting thing. As long as it meets a few basic criteria (crust, sauce, cheese, etc.) whatever the toppings, it’s still pizza. That’s similar to hearing loss. As long as you are having difficulty hearing sound, whether it’s due to a blockage, age, loud noise, or whatever else, it’s still hearing loss. Limiting […]
Have you ever slept with the window in your bedroom open and woken up to the lovely sound of birds singing as the sun is coming up? Most people probably aren’t even aware that the name for those bird-songs is the “dawn chorus”. For whatever reason, birds see the sun rising and decide to start […]
A car isn’t really an impulse buy (unless you’re really wealthy). Which means you will most likely do a lot of research first. You take a good look at things like gas mileage, overall price, and customer reviews. (You’re on Google a lot.) It is sensible to do this level of research. For most individuals […]

Finally, it’s summer!! This summer season has a lot of fun. But keep the health of your hearing in mind before you head out for a day on the beach, a rocking concert, or maybe a great backyard get-together. When you’re out enjoying summer, do keep in mind that your hearing can be damaged by […]
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 offered an entire gallon of ice cream, that’s a lot of frozen custard and high-fructose corn syrup! But you start to become more particular in your taste as you […]
When you take a shower, always remember to wash your ears. Whenever you say that, you unavoidably use your “parent voice”. Maybe you even recall getting that advice as a kid.
