Tired of your AirPod or earbuds falling out? Click here to see how to get a secure fit and better audio with custom sleeves.
Hearing is a key aspect of human communication. Through hearing, we can hear the sounds in our surroundings.

Cliche as it may sound, preventing hearing loss is one of the best ways to improve your hearing. Once the hearing is damaged, it can
Have you considered getting custom sleeves for AirPods? If you have tiny ear canals like me, it’s easy to have your AirPods get loose and pop out of your ears, sending you into a panicked frenzy searching for them! One of the most frustrating things about wearing AirPods or earbuds is not having them stay in place, especially when you multitask, walk around, or try
Before I begin, I want to mention what an honor it was to work alongside seasoned audiologists across the country and having the opportunity to learn from them still (I am forever a student). In my hearing aid fitting room were Brandi, my officemate who is an audiology assistant and training to be a Hearing Aid Dispenser, and Al Turri’s high school daughter Gabriella, who

Hearing loss is the total or partial inability to hear in one or both ears. Hearing loss typically happens gradually over time. Some individuals overlook the early signs of hearing loss and find out about it in the later stages. About 25% of adults aged 65 to 74 suffer hearing loss, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). Age and

Earwax Earwax, technically known as “cerumen” is a bodily production that is actually pretty useful- in small amounts, that is. It naturally cleans as it moves from the inner part of the canal outwards. It gathers dead skin cells, hair, and dirt along the way. In normal circumstances, excess wax finds its way out of the canal and into the ear opening naturally, and then
