Aging is one of the most prevalent indicators of hearing loss, and let’s face it, try as we might, we can’t escape aging.

Have you ever lost your earbuds? (Or, perhaps, unintentionally left them in the pocket of a pullover that went through the laundry?) Now it’s so boring going for a run in the morning. Your commute or train ride is dreary and dull. And your virtual meetings are suffering from bad audio quality. Sometimes, you don’t […]
Hearing loss has a track record for developing slowly. This can make the symptoms difficult to detect. It’s nothing to concern yourself with, you simply need the volume on the TV a little louder, no big deal, right? That’s usually the case, yes, but not always.

It isn’t like you just wake up one day, and suddenly can’t hear. Hearing loss, especially when it’s caused by aging, typically advances in degrees. Some signs appear earlier, though, and you don’t detect there is a problem right away. These early developing symptoms progress very subtly. Recognizing them sooner is crucial to slow down […]
