The Truth About Ear Candling

Everybody loves a quick fix, especially when the fix is also a DIY fix. Sink Leaking? You can learn about how to fix that from a YouTube video. A plumber would most likely be a little more efficient but then you wouldn’t get that feeling of self-satisfaction that comes with doing it on your own.

“Cheap Hearing Aids” What You Should Know

There are a couple different ways to interpret the term “cheap hearing aids”. For someone on a small budget, it means “affordability”. Conversely, it indicates low-quality, turning an apparently economical purchase into a not-so-smart decision, epitomized by the adage “You get what you pay for”. Unfortunately, determining whether you’re getting a great value from whether

Does Chemotherapy Cause You to Lose Your Hearing?

Coping with cancer is awful. Patients have to go through a very hard time and some of the side effects of chemotherapy are often disregarded. But for a great number of cancer survivors, there is a life after cancer and that’s a pretty important thing to keep in mind. And you want that life to

When do I Need a Hearing Aid?

Knowing when you need some medical advice is usually fairly easy. You know you need to go see a doctor immediately if you break a bone, for instance. With situations like this, simply “toughing it out” isn’t a possibility. At least, not for that long (especially if you want your bones to mend themselves properly).

Your Guide to Safe Driving With Hearing Loss

While hearing loss is a component to think about when operating a vehicle, a seasoned driver remains proficient even if they need to adjust the radio volume. For individuals

Three Ways Hearing Aids Can Fail

Have you ever had your internet disappear right as you’re getting to the best part of your favorite Netflix show? You sit and watch that spinning circle instead of learning about who won that cooking competition. And so you just wait. Is it your internet provider, modem, router, or maybe it will simply come back

Is it Better to go to a Hearing Specialist for Hearing Aids?

Individuals are more self-dependent than ever. Want to fix up your car? Just watch that YouTube video. Is your sink clogged? Again with the YouTube. Attempting to learn cursive writing? YouTube… look, you get the point. You can discover any information you may want to learn and self-learning has never been more accessible. So the

Understanding Hearing Loss During Pregnancy

It’s an awesome and incredible experience, having a child. But when it comes to how it can make you feel, it can be rather unpleasant, at least sometimes. There are all sorts of peculiar side effects, like morning sickness, health hazards, and changes to your body. None of this takes away from the happiness of

The Risk of Falls and How Hearing Aids Can Help

Kids tend to fall on a daily basis. Wiping out on your bicycle? That’s typical. Stumbling over your own feet when you’re running outside? Also fairly normal. Kids are pretty limber so, no big deal. They don’t typically stay down for very long. As you grow older though, that becomes less and less true. Falling

The Dynamics of Selective Hearing

You asked for help with one basic task: take the trash out. But, regrettably, it never was accomplished. “I Didn’t hear you”, they state. Crazy how that works, how your partner failed to hear the one thing you asked them to do. This “selective hearing” is a common sign that communication is breaking down. We

Tinnitus Might be Invisible but its Impact Can be Substantial

Invisibility is a very useful power in the movies. Whether it’s a mud-covered hero, a cloaked starship, or a sneaky ninja, invisibility allows people in movies to be more effective and, frequently, accomplish the impossible. Unfortunately, invisible health disorders are no less potent…and they’re a lot less enjoyable. Tinnitus, for example, is a very common

4 Ways Hearing Loss Can Impact Your General Health

Aging is one of the most prevalent indicators of hearing loss, and let’s face it, try as we might, we can’t avoid aging. You can take some steps to look younger but you’re still getting older. But did you know that hearing loss has also been linked to health problems associated with aging that are
