You Know when you’re viewing an action movie and the hero has a loud explosion close by and their ears start ringing? Well, at least some degree of mild brain trauma has likely happened to them. To be sure, brain injuries aren’t the bit that most action movies linger on. But that ringing in our […]
You’ve seen the videos on TikTok. Babies hearing their mother’s voices for the first time after being fitted for a hearing aid. Sometimes, initially, the baby is resistant. They fight when the doctor attempts to place the device in their ear. They may cry before they smile with joy. A range of emotions overtakes them. […]
Pizza is a fascinating thing. As long as it meets a few standard criteria (crust, sauce, cheese, etc.) whatever the toppings, it’s still pizza. That’s also like hearing loss. Symptoms and manifestations are a consequence of many different issues – loud noises, genetic factors, age, ear blockages – but as long as you have difficulty […]
Have you ever slept with the window in your bedroom open and woken up to the lovely sound of birds singing as the sun is coming up? Most people probably don’t even know that the name for those bird-songs is the “dawn chorus”. Birds see the sunrise and, for some reason, decide it’s time to […]

When you’re hearing two sounds simultaneously, that’s a […]
Denial is a typical first reaction. My loved one must be just making it seem as if their hearing loss is worse than it actually is. She’s not old enough for a hearing aid. Maybe, it’s become a joke between the two of you. She is always asking you to repeat what you said. It’s […]
Finally, it’s summertime!! This summer season has tons of fun. But before you hit 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 damaged by loud noises. In the summer you’re a lot more likely to be exposed […]
Do you remember those gallon buckets of ice cream you used to find at grocery stores? As a kid, they were the best thing ever because they promised a whole gallon of ice cream, that’s a lot of frozen custard and high-fructose corn syrup! But you begin to become more particular in your taste as […]
When you shower, always remember to wash your ears. Whenever you say that, you inevitably use your “parent voice”. Maybe when you were a child you even recall your parents telling you to do it. That’s the sort of memory that can remind you of simpler times as you wrap yourself in the nostalgia of […]
