You’ve probably noted that when movies or television shows get really intense, they start using close-ups (possibly even extreme close-ups). That’s because the human face conveys a lot of information (more information than you’re probably consciously aware of). It’s no stretch to say that humans are very facially focused. So it’s not surprising that the […]
It’s tough to be separated from your hearing aid once you get used to using one. After all, your hearing aids are important to connect to your world. But just like all technology, though, it will need to be upgraded eventually. The normal lifespan of a hearing aid From 3 to 7 years will be […]
Your hearing won’t be simply gone one day when you wake up. For most individuals, hearing loss comes in degrees, especially when it is linked to aging.

Most people probably aren’t even aware that those bird songs are called the “dawn chorus”. Birds see the sunrise and, for some reason, decide it’s time to sing out their best melody. The songs of […]
A car isn’t really an impulse buy (unless you’re very, very rich). So a great deal of research is probably the first thing you do. You check out reviews, you compare prices, and you evaluate gas mileage. (You’re on Google a lot.) This amount of research is logical! For most individuals who aren’t wealthy, it […]
The world was extremely different millions of years ago. This steamy, volcano-laden landscape is where the long-necked Diplacusis wandered. Diplacusis was so big, due to its long tail and neck, that no other predators were a threat. Actually, Diplodocus is the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period.
