You Know when you’re watching an action movie and the hero has a thunderous explosion nearby and their ears start ringing? Well, guess what: that most likely means our hero sustained at least a minor traumatic brain injury! To be sure, brain injuries aren’t the bit that most action movies focus on. But that high-pitched […]
You’ve seen the videos on TikTok. Babies, after they just get hearing aids, hearing the voice of their mother for the first time. Sometimes, at first, the baby is reluctant. They struggle when the doctor attempts to put the device in their ear. They might cry before they smile with joy. They’re overwhelmed with a […]
Pizza is a fascinating thing. You can change the toppings, sauces, even the cheeses concerned, but as long as it meets a few standard criteria, it’s still a pizza. Hearing loss is also like this.

When you’re hearing two sounds simultaneously, that’s […]
It’s a common first response – denial. Surely, my loved one’s hearing loss isn’t as bad as it seems. She’s not old enough for a hearing aid. Maybe, the both of you have started to joke around with each other about it. Your loved one always asks you to speak up. You joke about it […]
Finally, it’s summer!! This summer season has a lot of fun. But keep the health of your hearing in mind before you head out for a day on the beach, a rocking concert, or perhaps an enjoyable backyard get-together.
