Have you ever slept with your bedroom window open and awoke to the beautiful sound of birds singing just as the sun comes up? Most individuals probably don’t even know that those bird songs are called the “dawn chorus”. For whatever reason, birds see the sun rising and choose to start belting out their favorite
A car isn’t really an impulse purchase (unless you’re really wealthy). So a great deal of research is most likely the first step you take. You have a good look at things such as gas mileage, overall price, and customer reviews. (You’re on Google a lot.) It makes sense to do this amount of research.
Millions of years ago, the world was quite a bit different. The long-necked Diplacusis wandered this volcano-laden landscape. Diplacusis was so large, due to its long tail and neck, that no other predators were a threat. Actually, Diplodocus is the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period. When you’re hearing two sounds at the same time,
It’s a normal first reaction – denial. Of course, my loved one’s hearing loss isn’t as advanced as it seems. She’s too young to require a hearing aid. Maybe, it’s become a joke between the two of you. Your loved one always asks you to speak up. You laugh about it like it’s just a
Summer has finally arrived! This summer season offers tons of fun. But don’t forget about your hearing’s health before you go out for a day on the beach, a rocking concert, or perhaps a great backyard barbecue. When you’re out enjoying summer, do keep in mind that your hearing can be harmed by loud noises.
Remember when you used to be able to get those gallon buckets of ice cream at the grocery store? As a kid, they were awesome because they offered an entire gallon of ice cream, that’s a lot of frozen custard and high-fructose corn syrup! But you begin to become more specific in your taste as
Don’t neglect cleaning your ears. Whenever you say that, you unavoidably use your “parent voice”. Maybe when you were a child you even recall your parents telling you to do it. That’s the kind of memory that can take you back to simpler times as you wrap yourself in the nostalgia of youth. But that
What’s a cyborg? If you get swept up in science fiction movies, you most likely think of cyborgs as kind of half-human, half machine characters (these characters are usually cleverly used to touch on the human condition). Hollywood cyborgs can seem wildly bizarre. But actually, somebody wearing something as simple as a pair of glasses
You go out of your way to ensure your hearing aids are well cared for. Cleaning them every day, you make sure they are safe and comfortable on their charger when you go to bed. But you get pretty discouraged when your hearing aids suddenly stop working the way they did once. There are several
If you’re still wearing your older hearing aids, they may be better than no hearing aids, but they also may be costing you in some ways. Hearing aid technology has advanced a great deal in the last few years! It’s changed to digital from analog, for one thing, and there are features now that weren’t
Assistive listening devices and hearing aids can be utilized to treat the prevalent condition of hearing loss. But hearing loss is frequently ignored and untreated. For individuals with hearing loss, this can trigger feelings of social-separation and depression. It can also cause a breakdown in personal and professional relationships, which itself contributes to more feelings
In the past they were called “books-on-tape”. Of course, that was well before CDs, much less digital streaming. These days, they have a much better name; audiobooks. An audiobook allows you to read a book by, well, listening to it. It’s sort of like when you were a kid and a teacher or parent read
