You have a ringing in your ears and it’s not improving, if anything it’s getting worse. At first, you could hardly notice it. But you’ve observed how loud and persistent the tinnitus noises have become after a full day on the job at a construction site. These sounds can take many forms, like ringing, buzzing, […]
The last time you had dinner with family, you were quite frustrated. Not because of any intra-family drama (though there’s always some of that). No, the issue was that you couldn’t hear anything over the boisterous noise of the room. So you didn’t get the details about Nancy’s raise, and you didn’t have a chance […]
You’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time. You got your new hearing aids. You’re finally going to be able to get back into the groove of your social life again.

So if you’re not watching closely, it can be hard to measure the decline in your hearing. For this reason, it’s worthwhile to be […]
Pain is your body’s means of giving you information. It’s an effective method though not a very enjoyable one. When that megaphone you’re standing near goes too loud, the pain lets you know that significant ear damage is occurring and you instantly (if you’re wise) cover your ears or remove yourself from that rather loud […]
If you cut your arm, it heals. Before too long, your stubbed toe will feel better. Even a broken bone will mend if correctly set. But what if you lose your hearing? Is it possible for the inner ear to heal? Can you get your hearing back? Can that healing be helped by homeopathic remedies? […]
