Isn’t pizza cool? You can switch up the toppings, sauces, even the cheeses involved, but as long as it meets some standard criteria, it’s still a pizza. That’s also like hearing loss. Symptoms and manifestations are a consequence of many different problems – loud noises, genetic factors, age, ear blockages – but as long as […]
The world was very different millions of years ago. This steamy, volcano-laden landscape is where the long-necked Diplacusis roamed. Thanks to its really long neck and tail, Diplacusis was so large that it was afraid of no predator. Actually, the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period is known as Diplodocus. Diplacusis is a hearing affliction […]
Finally, it’s summer!! That means it’s time to get out and partake in all of the exciting activities that the season has to offer. But before you hit the beach, the concert, or the backyard cookout, remember to take care of your hearing. Loud noises can damage your hearing, even if you don’t feel like […]

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 […]

Both partners can feel frustrated by the misunderstandings that are created by hearing loss.

Have you ever seen a t-shirt promoted as “one size fits all” but when you went to try it on, you were discouraged to find that it didn’t fit at all? That’s really aggravating. There aren’t really very many “one size fits all” with anything in the real world. That’s not only relevant with clothing, […]
