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
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
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
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
You might think of your favorite sci-fi movie when somebody starts talking about artificial intelligence (AI). But these days, AI is more science than just fiction.

You’re not really sure why, but you’ve been feeling cranky lately. Well, you did feel excluded earlier this morning when no one bothered to bring you into the meeting discussion at the office and that was aggravating. Last night your daughter seemed annoyed with you when you asked her to turn the tv volume up
Hearing loss is often a slow process, making it easy to disregard the subtle changes in your ability to perceive sounds. Even though children are regularly tested, most adults don’t even consider scheduling a hearing test like they would their vision. So why would your hearing be any less relevant than your eyesight? It’s worthwhile
Have you ever forgotten your Earbuds in your pocket and they ended up going through the laundry or maybe lost them altogether? Now it’s so boring going for a walk in the morning. Your commute or bus ride is dreary and dull. And the sound quality of your virtual meetings suffers considerably. The old saying
Hearing loss has a reputation for advancing slowly. It can be difficult to detect the symptoms because of this. (After all, you’re simply turning up the volume on your television once in a while, it’s nothing to be concerned about, right?) Sometimes that’s true but often, it isn’t. It turns out hearing loss can also
Most people are happy with their hearing aids: 91% of hearing aid wearers are pleased with the hearing aid experience when speaking one-on-one, based on a recent survey. When speaking about specific activities, 85% were satisfied in a group setting and watching TV, 78% while shopping, and 75% in a restaurant or on the phone.
As your body ages, it isn’t difficult to notice the changes. You get wrinkles. Your hair turns gray (or falls out). Your knees begin to hurt a little bit more. Some sagging of the skin starts to happen in certain places. Perhaps your eyesight and your hearing both start to diminish a little. It’s pretty
It might seem, at first, like measuring hearing loss would be simple. You can most likely hear certain things clearly at lower volumes but not others. Most letters might sound clear at high or low volumes but others, such as “s” and “b” may get lost. When you learn how to understand your hearing test
