You have a buzzing in your ears and it’s not getting any better, if anything it’s getting worse. It started off quietly enough, one of those “is it really there” kind of situations. But you’ve noticed how loud and persistent the tinnitus noises have become after an entire day on the job at a construction […]
The last time you had dinner with family, you were rather frustrated. It wasn’t because of family crisis (this time). No, the source of the frustration was simple: it was loud, and you couldn’t hear a thing. So you didn’t get the chance to ask about Dave’s new kitten or Sally’s new job. It was […]
You love swimming and are all about being in the water. The pool is like your second home (when you were a kid, everyone said you were part fish–that’s how often you wanted to swim). The water seems a little…louder… than normal today. And then you recognize your oversight: you went into the pool with […]
Your sense of hearing is crucial in your life and when it’s gone, there will be no natural way for it to return But strangely, the general public tends to neglect hearing loss.

One way your body delivers information to you is through pain response. It’s an effective strategy though not a very enjoyable one. When that megaphone you’re standing next to gets too loud, the pain lets you know that major ear damage is happening and you immediately (if you’re smart) cover your ears or remove yourself […]
If you cut your leg, it heals. If you stub your toe, it might feel bruised and inflamed but the inflammation will subside, and you’ll feel better in a little while. Even if you break a bone, when properly set, it will heal. But if hearing is damaged what happens. Can the inner ear heal […]
Hearing loss is usually considered an older person’s issue – as a matter of fact, it’s estimated that nearly 50% of individuals aged 75 and older copes with some kind of hearing loss. But despite the fact that in younger people it’s entirely preventable, research shows that they too are in danger of developing hearing […]
We all enjoy a good bargain. But when it has to do with your health, be careful what you buy and keep your eye on the small details.
