Invisibility is a really useful power in the movies. Whether it’s a mud-covered hero, a cloaked starship, or a sneaky ninja, invisibility allows characters in movies to be more effectual and, often, accomplish the impossible. Invisible health problems, regrettably, are just as potent and much less enjoyable. Tinnitus, for instance, is a really common condition
Let’s face it, there’s no escape from aging, and with it often comes hearing loss. Sure, coloring your hair may make you look younger, but it doesn’t actually change your age. But did you know that hearing loss has also been linked to health problems related to aging that are treatable, and in some instances,
When someone mentions artificial intelligence (AI), it may arouse thoughts of your favorite sci-fi movie. But today, AI is a reality that we all better get used to. When it comes to hearing aids, this is especially true. Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all hearing aids that simply increase the volume of sounds around you.
You’re not really certain why, but you’ve been feeling cranky lately. Well, it was aggravating earlier today when you felt left out of the meeting at the office. Your daughter got up and abruptly left the house after becoming annoyed when you kept asking her to turn the volume on the TV up. What’s the

All of a sudden, your morning jog is a million times more boring. You have a dull and dreary train ride to work. And the sound quality of your virtual meetings suffers substantially.
We usually think of hearing loss as something that advances little by little. It can be easy to miss the symptoms because of this. (After all, you’re only turning up the volume on your TV now and then, it’s nothing to worry about, right?) In some cases that’s true but often, it isn’t. It turns
Most individuals are happy with their hearing aids: 91% of hearing aid wearers are satisfied with the hearing aid experience when speaking one-on-one, based on a recent survey. When breaking down results with specific activities, 75% were satisfied in a restaurant or on the phone, 78% were satisfied while in the supermarket, and 85% were
It’s not difficult to observe how your body ages over time. Your skin starts to develop some wrinkles. You start to lose your hair or it turns grey. Your knees begin to hurt a little bit more. Your skin becomes a bit droopy in places. Maybe you start to detect some fading of your eyesight
Measuring hearing loss is more technical than it may seem at first. You can probably hear certain things clearly at lower volumes but not others. Most letters may sound clear at high or low volumes but others, like “s” and “b” could get lost. It will become more obvious why you have inconsistencies with your
For just a minute, imagine that you have a job as a salesperson. Now imagine that you have a call scheduled today with a very important client. Your company is being looked at for a job and a number of people from your company have come together on a conference call. As the call proceeds,
Pizza is an interesting thing. As long as a few criteria are met, you can adjust toppings, cheese, and sauce, and it’s still a pizza. Hearing loss is similar. Symptoms and presentations are caused by a number of different issues, loud noises, genetic factors, age, or ear blockages, but as long as you have difficulty
