A car isn’t really an impulse purchase (unless you’re really wealthy). Which means you will most likely do a ton of research first. You take a good look at things such as gas mileage, price point, and customer reviews. Google is your best friend these days. This amount of research makes sense! For most people
Millions of years ago, the world was a lot different. The long-necked Diplacusis roamed this volcano-laden landscape. 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 sounds at the same
Denial is a typical first reaction. My loved one must be just making it seem as if their hearing loss is worse than it really is. She’s too young to need a hearing aid. Maybe, the both of you have started to joke around with one another about it. She is always asking you to

When you take a shower, always remember to clean your ears. It’s hard not to say that in your “parenting” voice. Perhaps when you were a kid you even remember your parents telling you to do it. As you get wrapped up in past nostalgia, that kind of memory can take you back to simpler
Do you know what a cyborg is? You probably imagine a half human, half machine when you think about cyborgs, especially if you enjoy science fiction movies (these characters are typically cleverly used to comment on the human condition). Hollywood cyborgs can seem extremely outlandish. But the reality is that, technically, anybody who wears a
You go out of your way to make sure your hearing aids are well taken care of. Cleaning them every day, you make sure they’re safe and snug on their charger when you go to bed. But you get pretty discouraged when your hearing aids suddenly stop working the way they used to. Thankfully, there
If you’re still wearing your older hearing aids, they might be better than no hearing aids, but they also may be costing you in some ways. Hearing aid technology has progressed a lot in the last few years! Ten years ago many of the features of modern hearing aids weren’t even on the drawing board,
Assistive listening devices and hearing aids can be utilized to treat the prevalent condition of hearing loss. Unfortunately, hearing loss frequently goes undiagnosed and untreated. This can result in greater depression rates and feelings of solitude in those who have hearing loss. It can also cause a breakdown in personal and professional relationships, which itself
Back in the old days they were called “books-on-tape”. Back then, of course, we didn’t even have CDs let alone streaming services. Nowadays, people refer to them as audiobooks (which, to be honest, is a much better name). An audiobook allows you to read a book by, well, listening to it. It’s a bit like
