Don’t neglect cleaning your ears. It’s hard not to say that in your “parenting” voice. Maybe 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 nostalgia of childhood. But it’s also […]
Do you know what a cyborg is? You most likely imagine a half human, half machine when you think about cyborgs, particularly if you enjoy science fiction movies (these characters are typically cleverly used to comment on the human condition). You can get some truly wild cyborgs in Hollywood. But actually, someone wearing something as […]
You take good care of your hearing aids. When you go to bed, you always put them snuggly on the charger and you clean them daily. Suddenly and distressingly, your hearing aids are no longer working the way they once did. There are several things you can do to troubleshoot the problem, thankfully. Just don’t […]

Remember the old tale of Johnny Appleseed? In elementary school, you may have been taught that he migrated across the US, bringing the gift of healthy apples to every community he paid a visit to (the moral of the story is that apples are good for you, and you should eat them). Actually, that’s not […]
Have you ever been in the middle of the road and your car breaks down? It’s not a fun experience. Your car has to be safely pulled to the side of the road. Then you probably pop your hood and take a look at the engine. Who knows why? Humorously, you still do this even […]
There are three kinds of people out there: people who find history to be incredibly interesting, individuals who think history is horribly dull, and those who believe history is full of aliens. The history of hearing aids is not full of aliens (sorry not sorry). But the real story is probably pretty weird too. Hearing […]
