When you imagine hearing aids, intimacy probably isn’t the first thing you consider. We get it. The advertising on these little devices is relatively straightforward. Love, on the other hand, is something better suited for music, poetry, and art. And yet, the two are closely linked to the point where you might want to begin […]
It’s often said that hearing loss is a slow-moving process. It can be rather insidious for this exact reason. Your hearing gets worse not in big leaps but by little steps. And that can make the progressive decline in your hearing hard to keep track of, particularly if you aren’t watching for it. Because of […]
One way your body provides information to you is through pain response. It’s an effective strategy though not a really enjoyable one. When that megaphone you’re standing near goes too loud, the pain lets you know that severe ear damage is happening and you instantly (if you’re smart) cover your ears or remove yourself from […]
If you cut your arm, it heals. If you stub your toe, it may feel bruised and swollen but the inflammation will subside, and you’ll feel better pretty soon. Even a broken bone will heal if properly set. But what if you lose your hearing? Is it possible for the inner ear to heal? Can […]
An estimated 50% of individuals over the age of 75 have some form of hearing loss and that’s why most people consider it an issue for older people. But in spite of the fact that in younger people it’s completely preventable, research shows that they too are in danger of developing hearing loss. As a […]
We all love a good bargain. But when it comes to your health, be careful what you purchase and keep your eye on the little details. The names “hearing aid” and “hearing amplifier” may seem similar but they are actually very different devices. And making the wrong choice could have important ramifications for your hearing […]
Even if you use glasses (the kind you put on your face, not the kind you fill with liquid), you still visit your eye doctor yearly, right? Because, as time passes, your eyes change. Nothing in your body is static, not your eyes and not, it turns out, your ears either. That’s why, even after […]
Over the last several decades the public opinion about cannabinoids and marijuana has transformed considerably. Many states now allow the use of marijuana, THC, or cannabinoid products for medicinal reasons. The idea that some states (fewer) even allow the recreational use of pot would have been hard to imagine 10 years ago. Cannabinoids are any […]
No one’s quite certain what causes Meniere’s disease. But it’s hard to ignore its effects. Some common symptoms of this disorder are vertigo, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and hearing loss. Experts aren’t really sure why, but for some reason, fluid can build up in the ears and this seems to be the root cause […]
Finding a bargain just feels great, right? It can be exhilarating when you’ve received a good deal on something, and the larger discount, the more satisfied you are. It’s a little too easy, then, to make the cost your chief consideration, to always go for the least expensive option, to let your coupons make your […]
