You know that scene in your favorite action movie where something blows up near the hero and the sound goes all high-pitched-buzzing? Well, guess what: that likely means our hero suffered at least a mild traumatic brain injury! Naturally, action movies don’t emphasize the brain injury part. But that ringing in our hero’s ears signifies […]
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. When the doctor tries to put the hearing aid in their ears, they put up a fight. They might cry before they smile with delight. They’re overwhelmed […]
Have you ever awoke after a night’s sleep and heard birds singing a pleasant song through your open window? Most people probably don’t even know that the name for those bird-songs is the “dawn chorus”. For whatever reason, birds see the sun rising and decide to start singing their favorite songs.

A car isn’t really an impulse purchase (unless you’re really wealthy). Which means you will probably do a ton of research first. You check out reviews, you assess prices, and you consider gas mileage. (You’re on Google a lot.) It is sensible to do this amount of research. For most individuals who aren’t wealthy, it […]

Finally, it’s summer!! That means it’s time to go out and partake in all of the exciting experiences that the season has to offer. But keep the health of your hearing in mind before you go out for a day on the beach, a rocking concert, or maybe a great backyard barbecue. Loud noises can […]
Do you recall those gallon buckets of ice cream you used to get at grocery stores? A whole gallon of ice cream, yum! But you start to become more particular in your taste as you mature. Your ice cream tastes become more specialized and you tend to opt for your favorite brand. Those smaller containers […]
Don’t forget to wash your ears. It’s hard not to say that in your “parenting” voice. Maybe you even remember getting that advice as a child. As you get caught up in past nostalgia, that kind of memory can take you back to simpler times. But that advice can be rather helpful. Your hearing can […]
