You asked for help with one simple chore: take the trash out. But, unfortunately, it never was accomplished. “I Didn’t hear you”, they declare. Why aren’t you surprised that your partner failed to hear the one thing they needed done? The popular term for this is “selective hearing,” and it’s often a sign of failed […]
In the movies, invisibility is a formidable tool. Whether it’s a mud-covered hero, a cloaked starship, or a stealthy ninja, invisibility allows people in movies to be more effectual and, often, achieve the impossible.

You have a dull and dreary train ride to work. And the audio quality of your virtual meetings suffers substantially. Sometimes, you don’t grasp […]
We normally think of hearing loss as something that advances gradually. It can be difficult to detect the symptoms because of this. (After all, you’re only turning up the volume on your TV once in a while, it’s nothing to worry about, right?) In some cases that’s true but in some cases, it isn’t. Sometimes, […]
Most individuals are pleased with their hearing aids: Based upon one recent survey, when talking one-on-one, 91% of people who use hearing aids are satisfied with their results.
