Diplacusis was so big, thanks to its long tail and neck, that no other predators were a threat. Actually, the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period is known as Diplodocus. Diplacusis is a hearing condition that […]
It’s a normal first response – denial. Of course, my loved one’s hearing loss isn’t as bad as it seems. She’s not old enough for a hearing aid. Perhaps, it’s become a joke between the two of you. She is always requesting that you repeat what you said. You joke about it like it’s just […]
Summer has finally arrived! This summer season has a lot of fun. But keep the health of your hearing in mind before you head out for a day on the beach, a rocking concert, or maybe an enjoyable backyard barbecue.
