Your ability to hear is precious – once you lose it, the chance of getting it back in its natural form is slim to nil. But strangely, the general public tends to disregard hearing loss. In the US alone, one in eight individuals over the age of 12 copes with neglected and permanent hearing loss. […]
Intimacy isn’t usually the first thing that one thinks of when you think about hearing aids. We get it. These tiny devices are normally advertised in rather concrete terms. Love, on the other hand, is something better suited for music, poetry, and art. And yet, the two are inextricably connected to the point where you […]
Hearing loss is widely recognized to be a process that develops gradually. That’s why it can be quite insidious. Your hearing doesn’t deteriorate in giant leaps but rather in tiny steps. So if you’re not paying close attention, it can be hard to measure the decrease in your hearing. That’s why recognizing the first signs […]
Pain is your body’s method of supplying information. It’s not a terribly fun approach but it can be beneficial. When that megaphone you’re standing near gets too loud, the pain allows you to know that major ear damage is occurring and you instantly (if you’re wise) cover your ears or remove yourself from that rather […]

Hearing loss is typically considered an older person’s issue – in fact, it’s estimated that nearly 50% of people over 75 suffer from some type of hearing loss.

Who doesn’t love finding a good bargain? But you should be careful and look out for little details in regards to your health. The names “hearing aid” and “hearing amplifier” might seem similar but they are actually entirely different devices. And making the wrong choice could have important ramifications for your hearing and your general […]
You will still visit your eye doctor yearly even if you already wear eyeglasses. Because your eyes change as time passes. Similar to the rest of your body, your eyes aren’t fixed and neither are your ears. That’s why, just as it is with your eyes, it’s crucial to keep having your ears examined even […]
Over the past several decades the public perception of cannabinoids and marijuana has transformed significantly. Many states have legalized the use of marijuana, THC, or cannabinoid products for medicinal purposes. Substantially fewer states have legalized pot for recreational purposes, but even that would have been unimaginable even just ten or fifteen years ago. Cannabinoids are […]
No one’s really certain what causes Meniere’s disease. But it’s hard to dismiss its impact. Some prevalent symptoms of this disorder are vertigo, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and hearing loss. Experts aren’t really sure why, but for some reason, fluid can build up in the ears and this seems to be the root cause […]
