If I Was Dealing With Hearing Loss, How Could I Tell?

Your last family get-together was disheartening. Not because of any intra-family episode (though there’s always a little bit of that). No, the cause of the stress was simple: it was noisy, and you couldn’t hear anything. So you didn’t get the opportunity to ask about Dave’s new kitten or Sally’s new career. It was difficult. […]

Your Love Life and Hearing Loss Have a Link That May be Surprising

When you imagine hearing aids, intimacy most likely isn’t the first thing you consider. We get it. These tiny devices are normally presented in very concrete terms.

Are There Treatments for Hyperacusis?

One way your body offers information to you is through pain response. It’s an effective strategy though not a really enjoyable one. When your ears start to feel the pain of a very loud megaphone near you, you know damage is taking place and you can take measures to move further away or at least […]

Are Hearing Aids Waterproof?

As a swimmer, you enjoy going in the water. The pool is like your second home (when you were younger, everybody said you were part fish–that’s how regularly you wanted to swim).

Oral Cancer’s Early Warning Signs

Each year over 50,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer (oropharyngeal cancer). And that’s sad because oral cancers can have a fairly high rate of mortality. Most of these people are over 60 years old, but not all. The mortality rate is not the result of oral cancer being especially aggressive. These cancers, instead, are […]

Public opinion about marijuana and cannabinoids has changed remarkably over the last several decades. Cannabinoids, marijuana, and THC products are now legal for medical use in many states.

The Yearly Visit You Probably Forgot to Schedule

You will still visit your eye doctor annually even if you already wear eyeglasses. Because your eyes change over time. Nothing in your body is static, not your eyes and not, it turns out, your ears either. That’s why, just as it is with your eyes, it’s essential to keep getting your ears examined even […]
