Books-on-tape was what we used to call them, once upon a time. Naturally, that was long before CDs, not to mention digital streaming. These days, people refer to them as audiobooks (which, we won’t lie, is a far better name). With an audiobook, you will listen to the book being read by a narrator. It’s […]
Do you recall the old tale of Johnny Appleseed? In elementary school, you might have been taught that he migrated across the United States, bringing the gift of healthy apples to every community he visited (you should eat apples because they are good for you and that’s the moral of the story). Actually, that isn’t […]
Have you ever been in the middle of the roadway and your car breaks down? It’s not a fun experience. You have to pull your car off the road. Then you likely open your hood and have a look at the engine. Who knows why? What’s funny is that you do this even if you […]

Musicians are cool! They bring so much pleasure to our lives with their songs. But music is so much more powerful when it’s loud, and that can be a hearing hazard. Since musicians expose themselves to loud music frequently, their hearing is at greater risk of being harmed. Whether your income relies on music or […]
Hearing loss is challenging, if not impossible, to diagnose by yourself. To illustrate, you can’t really evaluate your level of hearing by merely putting your ear next to a speaker. So getting a hearing test will be vital in figuring out what’s going on with your hearing. Now, before you start sweating or anxiously fidgeting, […]
