Sometimes, it’s easy to know when you need medical advice. You know you need to go see a doctor right away if you break your leg, for example. With situations like this, simply “toughing it out” isn’t a possibility. At least, not for that long (particularly if you want your bones to mend themselves properly). […]
Lots of older people experience hearing loss, but does that mean it’s hazardous for them to drive? Driving habits differ amongst different people so the response isn’t clear-cut. Even if some adjustments need to be made to the volume of the radio, hearing loss shouldn’t mean a competent driver needs to quit driving. Whether hearing […]
Have you ever been watching your favorite Netflix show when your internet suddenly cuts out? Instead of discovering who won the baking show, you have to watch a never-ending spinning circle. And so you just wait. Maybe it’s your modem, could be your router, possibly it’s the internet provider, or possibly it’ll just fix itself. […]
Individuals are more self-dependent than ever. Does your car need some repairs? You can learn how to do that by watching a YouTube video. Is your sink clogged? YouTube video.

Funny how that works, how your partner didn’t hear the one thing you asked them to do. This “selective hearing” is a common sign that communication is failing. This “selective hearing” […]

The characters can often do the impossible if they have the power of invisibility, whether it’s a spaceship with cloaking ability or a wizard with an invisibility cloak. Invisible health problems, regrettably, are just as potent and a lot less enjoyable. Tinnitus, for example, is a really […]
When someone mentions artificial intelligence (AI), it may arouse thoughts of your favorite sci-fi movie. But these days, AI is more science than fiction. This is particularly true with regard to hearing aids. The days when hearing aids simply increased the volume and were one-size-fits-all are gone for good. AI is at the root of […]
