You know that scene in your favorite action movie where something explodes next to the hero and the sound gets all high-pitched-buzzing? Well, at least some level of mild brain trauma has likely happened to them. Obviously, action movies don’t highlight the brain injury part. But that ringing in our hero’s ears represents a condition […]
TikTok has some really awesome videos you’ve most likely watched. Babies, after they just get hearing aids, hearing the voice of their mother for the first time.
