Kids tend to fall pretty much every day. Taking a tumble on your bicycle? Not unusual. Getting tripped up when sprinting across the yard. Also rather normal. Kids are pretty limber so, no big deal. They bounce back pretty easily. As you get older though, that becomes less and less true. The older you get,
The only one thing that you asked for was for the garbage to be taken out. But, unfortunately, it never was accomplished. “I Didn’t hear you”, they say. Why are you not surprised that your partner failed to hear the one thing they needed done? This “selective hearing” is a normal indication that communication is
Invisibility is a really useful power in the movies. Whether it’s a mud-covered hero, a cloaked starship, or a sneaky ninja, invisibility allows characters in movies to be more effectual and, often, accomplish the impossible. Unfortunately, invisible health conditions are no less potent…and they’re a lot less fun. As an example, tinnitus is an extremely
Let’s face it, there’s no getting away from aging, and with it often comes hearing loss. You can take some steps to look younger but you’re still getting older. But you may not know that several treatable health conditions have also been related to hearing loss. Let’s take a look at a few examples that
You may think of your favorite sci-fi movie when someone starts talking about artificial intelligence (AI). But today, AI is a reality that we all better get accustomed to.

You aren’t quite certain why, but you’ve been feeling moody lately. Well, it was irritating earlier today when you felt left out of the meeting at work. Last night your daughter seemed irritated with you when you asked her to turn the tv volume up over and over again leading to her abruptly leaving the
Subtle changes in your ability to hear sounds can be difficult to detect because of how gradually hearing loss normally progresses. Unlike children, who get routine hearing tests in school, adults rarely even think of scheduling an appointment. So why should your hearing be any less important than your eyesight? Here are 6 reasons to
Have you ever misplaced your earbuds? (Or, perhaps, unintentionally left them in the pocket of a pullover that went through the washer and dryer?) Now it’s so boring going for a walk in the morning. You have a dull and dreary train ride to work. And your virtual meetings are suffering from poor audio quality.
Hearing loss has a track record for showing itself slowly. It can be difficult to detect the symptoms because of this. (After all, you’re only turning up the volume on your TV now and then, it’s nothing to be concerned about, right?) In some cases that’s true but in some cases, it isn’t. It turns
Most individuals are happy with their hearing aids: 91% of hearing aid wearers are happy with the hearing aid experience when talking one-on-one, as reported by a recent survey. When analyzing results with specific activities, 75% were satisfied in a restaurant or on the phone, 78% were satisfied while in the grocery store, and 85%
As your body gets older, it’s not hard to notice the changes. You get wrinkles. Your hair turns gray (or falls out). Your knees begin to hurt a little bit more. Your skin gets a bit droopy in places. Perhaps you begin to observe some fading of your eyesight and hearing. These signs are tough
Determining hearing loss is more complex than it might at first seem. If you’re dealing with hearing loss, you can probably hear certain things clearly at a lower volume, but not others. You may confuse certain letters like “S” or “B”, but hear other letters perfectly fine at any volume. When you figure out how
