There are two kinds of vacations, right? One type is full of activities at all times. These are the vacations that are remembered for years later and are full of adventure, and you go back to work more worn out than you left. The other kind is all about relaxing. These are the trips where […]
Movies and TV shows tend to use close-ups (often extreme close-ups) when the action starts getting really intense. That’s because the human face conveys a lot of information (more information than you’re likely consciously aware of). To say that human beings are really facially centered is, well, not a stretch. So it’s not surprising that […]
It’s tough to be apart from your hearing aid after you get accustomed to having one. Your hearing aids are, after all, your link to the world around you. But just like all technology, though, it will need to be upgraded eventually. A hearing aid’s typical lifespan From 3 to 7 years will be the […]

Suddenly and discouragingly, your hearing aids aren’t working the way they used to. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to diagnose the problem. Not doing […]
While it might be true that older hearing aids are better than nothing, it’s likely that what little advantage you get from them may be costly. Hearing aid technology has advanced a lot in the last few years! It’s gone from analog to digital, for one thing, and there are features currently that weren’t even […]
When it comes to history, there are three distinct kinds of individuals: people who find history to be incredibly fascinating, people who think history is terribly boring, and people who think history is full of aliens.
