You know that scene in your favorite action movie where something explodes near the hero and the sound gets all high-pitched-buzzing? Well, at least some level of mild brain trauma has likely happened to them. To be certain, brain injuries aren’t the part that most action movies linger on. But that ringing in our hero’s […]
You’ve watched the videos on TikTok. Babies, after they just get fitted for hearing aids, hearing the voice of their mother for the first time. In some videos, the baby is uncertain initially. They struggle when the doctor attempts to place the device in their ear. Before they smile with delight, they may cry a […]
Pizza is an interesting thing. You can switch up the toppings, sauces, even the cheeses concerned, but as long as it meets some basic criteria, it’s still a pizza. Hearing loss is similar. Symptoms and presentations are due to many different issues – loud noises, genetic factors, age, ear blockages – but as long as […]
Have you ever slept with the window in your bedroom open and woken up to the beautiful sound of birds singing just as the sun comes up? Most people probably aren’t even aware that the name for those bird-songs is the “dawn chorus”. Birds see the sunrise and, for some reason, decide it’s time to […]

Diplacusis is a hearing condition that causes […]
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 […]
Summer has finally arrived! This summer season has tons of fun. But don’t forget about your hearing’s health before you head out for a day on the beach, a rocking concert, or maybe a great backyard barbecue. Loud noises can damage your hearing, even if you don’t feel like they’re very loud. So it’s essential […]
Do you recall those gallon buckets of ice cream you used to find at grocery stores? A whole gallon of ice cream, yum! But as you grow up, you begin to get a bit more specific. Your ice cream preferences become more specialized and you tend to go for your favorite brand. All of a […]
Don’t neglect cleaning your ears. Whenever you say that, you inescapably use your “parent voice”. Perhaps when you were a child you even recall your parents telling you to do it.
