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 […]
Isn’t pizza great? As long as it meets a few basic criteria (crust, sauce, cheese, etc.) regardless of the toppings, it’s still pizza. Hearing loss is similar.
