As we get older we start to have trouble hearing clearly and we usually just accept it as a normal part of growing older. Maybe we start turning up the volume on the TV or keep asking our grandkids to speak up when they’re talking to us, or perhaps we start forgetting things? Loss of […]
You’re a fairly busy person, so it’s reasonable that you completely forgot about the hearing test you have scheduled for tomorrow. Fortunately, you just received that reminder text from us, and you still have a few hours to get ready. So… what should you do? You won’t need to stay up all night cramming for […]
You have an active summer planned. Some beach time and lots of swimming for sure. You’ll take in some live entertainment, you’ll get plenty of exercise jogging or perhaps playing some tennis, then it’s time to get to the grill. You’re going to be busy! And you want to ensure your hearing aids are up […]
Don’t take your eyes off the road. While this may be sound advice, how about your other senses? Your ears, for instance, are doing tons of work while you’re driving, helping you keep track of other vehicles, alerting you to info on your dashboard, and keeping you engaged with the other people in your vehicle.

So you didn’t get the details about Nancy’s promotion, and you didn’t have a chance to ask about Todd’s new puppy. It was frustrating. […]
You’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. You received your new hearing aids. You’re finally going to be able to get back into the groove of your social life again. Now, you won’t be missing elements of conversations or experiencing uncomfortable transitions. But your hearing aids just don’t sound quite right. The […]
You enjoy swimming and are all about going into the water. The pool is like your second home (when you were younger, everyone said you were part fish–that’s how regularly you wanted to go swimming). Today, the water sounds a little… louder… than normal. And then you recognize your oversight: you went in the pool […]
Your ability to hear is valuable – once you lose it, the likelihood of getting it back in its natural form is slim to nil. But strangely, the general public tends to neglect hearing loss. In fact, permanent hearing loss affects one in every eight individuals (about 30 million people) over the age of 12 […]
