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. When it comes to hearing aids, this is particularly true. Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all hearing aids that merely raise the volume of sounds around you. AI is […]
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.

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 […]
Just picture for a minute you’re a salesperson. Now imagine that you have a call scheduled today with a very important client. Multiple agents from their offices have come together to discuss whether to hire your company for the job. As the call proceeds, voices go up and down…and are sometimes hard to hear. But […]
Pizza is a fascinating thing. You can adjust the toppings, sauces, even the cheeses on it, but as long as it satisfies a few basic factors, it’s still a pizza. That’s a lot like hearing loss. Symptoms and presentations are caused by a number of different problems, loud noises, genetic factors, age, or ear blockages, […]
