Have you ever lost your earbuds? (Or, maybe, accidentally left them in the pocket of a pullover that went through the washer and dryer?) All of a sudden, your morning jog is a million times more boring. You have a dull and dreary commute to work. And your virtual meetings are suffering from poor sound […]
We typically think of hearing loss as something that develops slowly. It can be difficult to detect the symptoms due to this. (After all, you’re simply turning up the volume on your TV once in a while, it’s nothing to worry about, right?) That’s normally the situation, yes, but not always. Sometimes, hearing loss can […]
It’s not difficult to observe how your body ages over time. Your skin starts to develop some wrinkles. Your hair turns gray (or falls out). Your knees start to be a little more sore. Some sagging of the skin begins to occur in certain places. Perhaps your eyesight and your hearing both begin to fade […]
For just a moment, imagine that you’re working as a salesperson. Now imagine that you have a call scheduled today with a really important client.

As long as you are having a hard time hearing sound, whether it’s related to an obstruction, age, loud noise, or whatever […]
Millions of years ago, the world was a lot different. The long-necked Diplacusis roamed this volcano-laden landscape. Thanks to its really long neck and tail, Diplacusis was so big that it was afraid of no predator. Actually, the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period is known as Diplodocus. Diplacusis is a hearing condition that causes […]
Finally, it’s summer!! That means it’s time to go out and enjoy all the exciting experiences that the season has to offer. But before you hit the beach, the concert, or the backyard barbecue, remember to protect your hearing. Loud noises can harm your hearing, even if you don’t feel like they’re that loud. In […]
When you take a shower, always remember to wash your ears. It’s hard not to say that in your “parenting” voice. Perhaps when you were a kid you even recall your parents telling you to do it. That’s the kind of memory that can remind you of simpler times as you wrap yourself in the […]
