You’re going to start seeing a lot of advertisements about Other-the-Counter (OTC) hearing aids. The federal government introduced a law in 2015, passed it in 2017, and put it in effect in 2020 that allows hearing aid to be sold directly...

The holidays are upon us. It seems impossible that it’s time for all the hullabaloo again. Don’t get me wrong, I love hullabaloo! But, it’s not that much fun for everyone. All the noise… all the activity… all the TV’s on all day long… This can really b...

We were reminded quite abruptly this week that winter is just around the corner. I like winter well enough. I actually missed it when I lived in Southern California.

National Mental Health Awareness month isn’t until October, but this was on my mind now. I’ve been doing a lot of work with Communication and Communication Strategies training lately. This quote by George Bernard Shaw made me stop and think. “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that...

I’ve been hearing a lot about a certain YouTube audiologist lately. I’ve been hearing a lot of questions I haven’t heard before and, some answers that just lead to more questions. Since I fully support learning and being completely informed, I thought I’d check him out.

He’s very entertaining. He a...
