It’s a normal first response – denial. My loved one must be simply making it seem as if their hearing loss is more severe than it actually is. She’s not old enough for a hearing aid. It’s possible, the two of you have begun to joke around with one another about it. Your loved one […]

Books-on-tape was what we used to call them, once upon a time. Back then, of course, we didn’t even have CDs let alone streaming services. These days, people refer to them as audiobooks (which, we won’t lie, is a far better name). An audiobook allows you to read a book by, well, listening to it. […]
