The world was extremely different millions of years ago. This steamy, volcano-laden landscape is where the long-necked Diplacusis roamed. Thanks to its extra long neck and tail, Diplacusis was so big that it feared no predator. Actually, Diplodocus is the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period. Diplacusis is a hearing condition that causes you to […]
It’s a normal first response – denial. Of course, my loved one’s hearing loss isn’t as advanced as it seems. She’s not old enough to need a hearing aid. Perhaps, it’s become a joke between both of you. Your loved one always asks you to repeat yourself. You laugh about it as if it’s simply […]
Summer has finally arrived! That means it’s time to get out and partake in all of the fun activities that the season has to offer.

You go above and beyond to ensure your hearing aids are well taken care of. Cleaning them daily, you make sure they are safe and comfortable on their charger when you go to bed. Suddenly and discouragingly, your hearing aids aren’t working the way they used to. There are a few things you can do […]
While it could be true that older hearing aids are better than nothing, chances are what little benefit you get from them comes at a cost.
