When should you have your hearing tested? Here are four clues that you should have your hearing tested. I guess my TV is frequently turned up to the point where my kids recently complained. You know what my response was? I said, “What”? It was funny. Because it was a joke. But, in some ways, […]
The buzzing in your ear keeps getting worse. It began quietly enough, one of those “is it really there” sort of things. But you’ve observed how loud and persistent the tinnitus sounds have become after an entire day on the job at a construction site. These noises can take many forms, like ringing, buzzing, or […]
Your last family get-together was disheartening. Not because of any intra-family drama (though there’s always a little bit of that). No, the issue was that you couldn’t hear a thing over the boisterous noise of the room. So you didn’t get the chance to ask about Dave’s new cat or Sally’s new career. It was […]

Your ability to hear is valuable – once it’s gone, the likelihood of getting it back in its natural form is slim to nil. But strangely, the general public tends to disregard hearing loss. In the US alone, one in eight individuals over the age of 12 is dealing with neglected and permanent hearing loss. […]
When you think about hearing aids, intimacy most likely isn’t the first thing you consider. We get it. The advertising on these little devices is relatively straightforward. Love, conversely, is something better suited for poetry, music, and art. But you might want to begin viewing your hearing aid as an intimacy device because of the […]
It’s commonly said that hearing loss is a slow-moving process. It can be quite subtle for this very reason. Your hearing gets worse not in giant leaps but by little steps. And that can make the progressive decline in your ears challenging to track, especially if you aren’t looking for it. That’s why identifying the […]
