You have a buzzing in your ears and it’s not getting any better, if anything it’s getting worse. At first, you could hardly notice it. But after being at the construction site all day (for work), you’ve noticed just how loud (and how persistent) that buzzing has become. At times, it sounds like ringing or […]
The last time you ate dinner with family, you were quite frustrated. It wasn’t because of family drama (this time). No, the issue was that you couldn’t hear anything over the loud noise of the room. So you didn’t get the chance to ask about Dave’s new cat or Sally’s new job. It was frustrating. […]

Hearing loss is well known to be a process that progresses gradually. It can be rather insidious for this exact reason. Your hearing doesn’t deteriorate in giant leaps but rather in tiny steps. So if you’re not paying close attention, it can be challenging to track the decrease in your hearing. Because of this, it’s […]
One way your body provides information to you is through pain response. It’s not a terribly enjoyable method but it can be beneficial. When your ears begin to feel the pain of a really loud megaphone next to you, you know damage is happening and you can take measures to move further away or at […]
