A car isn’t really an impulse purchase (unless you’re really rich). So a great deal of research is most likely the first step you take. You look at reviews, you assess prices, and you evaluate gas mileage. (You’re on Google a lot.) This level of research is logical! For most people who aren’t wealthy, it
Millions of years ago, the world was much different. The long-necked Diplacusis wandered this volcano-laden landscape. Thanks to its extra long neck and tail, Diplacusis was so large that it was afraid of no predator. Actually, Diplodocus is the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period. Diplacusis is a hearing condition that causes you to hear
It’s a common first response – denial. My loved one must be simply making it seem like their hearing loss is more severe than it actually is. She’s not old enough to need a hearing aid. It’s possible, the both of you have begun to joke around with each other about it. Your loved one
Finally, it’s summertime!! This summer season has tons of fun. But before you go to the beach, the concert, or the backyard barbecue, remember to take care of your hearing. When you’re out appreciating summer, remember that your hearing can be harmed by loud noises. So it’s important to take steps to protect your ears,
Do you remember those gallon buckets of ice cream you used to get at supermarkets? As a kid, they were the best thing ever because they offered a whole gallon of ice cream, that’s a lot of frozen custard and high-fructose corn syrup! But you start to become more specific in your taste as you
When you shower, always remember to clean your ears. Whenever you say that, you inescapably use your “parent voice”. Perhaps you even remember getting that advice as a child. As you get wrapped up in past nostalgia, that sort of memory can take you back to simpler times. But that advice can be rather helpful.
Are you familiar with what a cyborg is? You likely imagine a half human, half machine when you think of a cyborg, particularly if you enjoy science fiction movies (the human condition is often cleverly portrayed with these characters). You can get some really wild cyborgs in Hollywood. But the reality is that, technically, anyone
You take good care of your hearing aids. Cleaning them every day, you make sure they’re safe and comfortable on their charger when you go to bed. Suddenly and discouragingly, your hearing aids are no longer working the way they once did. There are a few things you can do to diagnose the problem, luckily.
If you’re still wearing your older hearing aids, they might be better than no hearing aids, but they also may be costing you in some ways. Within the past few years, hearing aid technology has made substantial developments. It’s gone from analog to digital, for one thing, and there are features currently that weren’t even
Hearing loss is a common condition that can be alleviated simply by using hearing aids and assistive listening devices. However, hearing loss frequently goes undiagnosed and untreated. This can result in greater depression rates and feelings of separation in those who have hearing loss. It can also lead to a breakdown in personal and work
In the past they were known as “books-on-tape”. Naturally, that was long before CDs, not to mention digital streaming. Nowadays, people call them audiobooks (which, to be honest, is a far better name). With an audiobook, you can listen to the book as it’s being read by a narrator. It’s sort of like having someone
Remember the old story of Johnny Appleseed? In elementary school, you might have been taught that he traveled across the United States, bringing the gift of nourishing apples to every community he visited (you should eat apples because they are good for you and that’s the moral of the story). Actually, that isn’t the entire
