Individuals are more self-dependent than ever. Does your car need some repairs? You can learn how to do that by watching a YouTube video. Is your sink clogged? YouTube video. Attempting to learn cursive writing? YouTube… look, you get the point. Anything you want to know, you can find, and there’s great potential to teach […]
It’s an awesome and incredible experience, having a baby. But it can also be kind of… uncomfortable, at least sometimes, and at least when it involves how it can make you feel. There’s the morning sickness, the changes to your body, the health challenges, and all kinds of weird side effects. None of this detracts […]
When you’re a kid, falling is just a part of life. Taking a spill on your bicycle? Not unusual. Tripping over your own feet while you’re running outside? Also pretty typical. Kids are quite limber so, no big deal. They don’t usually stay down for long. The same can’t be said as you get older. […]
You asked for help with one basic chore: take the trash out. But, unfortunately, it never was accomplished. “I Didn’t hear you”, they say.

In the movies, invisibility is a powerful power. The characters can often do the impossible if they have the power of invisibility, whether it’s a spaceship with cloaking ability or a wizard with an invisibility cloak.

You’re not really certain why, but you’ve been feeling cranky lately. Well, it was annoying earlier this morning when you felt left out of the meeting at the office. The other night your daughter seemed frustrated with you when you asked her to turn the tv volume up over and over again resulting in her […]
Subtle changes in your hearing can be difficult to recognize because of how slowly hearing loss usually advances. Unlike children, who get regular hearing tests in school, adults hardly ever even think of scheduling an appointment. You wouldn’t neglect a decline in your eyesight, so why wouldn’t you monitor your hearing health? It’s essential to […]
Have you ever misplaced your earbuds? (Or, maybe, accidentally left them in the pocket of a pullover that went through the washer and dryer?) Now it’s so boring going for a walk in the morning. You have a dull and dreary train ride to work. And the audio quality of your virtual meetings suffers substantially. […]
Hearing loss has a reputation for showing itself slowly. It can be easy to miss the symptoms because of this. (After all, you’re only turning up the volume on your TV now and then, it’s nothing to be concerned about, right?) In some cases that’s true but often, it isn’t. It turns out hearing loss […]
