Aging is one of the most prevalent indicators of hearing loss, and let’s face it, try as we might, we can’t escape aging.

You might think of your favorite sci-fi movie when someone mentions artificial intelligence (AI). But nowadays, AI is more science than just fiction. This is especially true with regard to hearing aids. The days when hearing aids simply increased the volume and were one-size-fits-all are gone forever. AI is at the root of modern hearing
You aren’t quite certain why, but you’ve been feeling cranky lately. Well, you did feel excluded earlier this morning when no one bothered to pull you into the meeting discussion at the office and that was annoying. Your daughter got up and suddenly left the house after becoming irritated when you kept asking her to

It might seem, at first, like measuring hearing loss would be simple. If you’re dealing with hearing loss, you can most likely hear certain things clearly at a lower volume, but not others. Most letters might sound clear at any volume but others, such as “s” and “b” could get lost. When you figure out
Imagine for a minute you’re a salesperson. Now imagine that you have a call scheduled today with a really important client. Your company is being considered for a job and several individuals from your business have gathered on a conference call. As the call proceeds, voices go up and down…and are sometimes hard to hear.
Pizza is an interesting thing. You can adjust the toppings, sauces, even the cheeses involved, but as long as it satisfies a few basic criteria, it’s still a pizza. That’s a lot like hearing loss. Symptoms and manifestations are caused by a number of different problems, loud noises, genetic factors, age, or ear blockages, but
Dementia and hearing loss, what’s the connection? Brain health and hearing loss have a connection which medical science is starting to understand.
