Denial is a common first reaction. My loved one must be simply making it seem like their hearing loss is more severe than it really is. She’s too young to require a hearing aid. Maybe, the both of you have started to kid around with each other about it. She is always requesting that you […]
Summer is here! This summer season offers a lot 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. When you’re out appreciating summer, remember that your hearing can be damaged by loud noises. During the summer […]
Do you recall those gallon buckets of ice cream you used to get at grocery stores? A whole gallon of ice cream, yum! But as you grow up, you begin to get a bit more particular. Your ice cream tastes get more specialized and you have a tendency to go for your favorite brand. Those […]
When you shower, always remember to wash your ears. Whenever you say that, you unavoidably use your “parent voice”. Perhaps when you were a child you even remember your parents telling you to do it.

Within the past few years, hearing aid technology has made significant developments. It’s changed to digital from analog, for one thing, and there are features currently that weren’t even […]
Hearing loss is a common condition that can be mitigated easily with the use of hearing aids and assistive listening devices. But hearing loss is often neglected and untreated.

Do you recollect the old tale about Johnny Appleseed?
