Remember the old tale of Johnny Appleseed? In elementary school, you may have been taught that he traveled across the US, bringing the gift of nourishing apples to every community he visited (the moral of the story is that apples are good for you, and you should eat them).

Have you ever been in the middle of the road and your car breaks down? It’s not a fun experience. You have to pull your car off the road. Then you most likely pop your hood and have a look at the engine. Who knows why? Humorously, you still do this despite the fact that […]
When it comes to history, there are three distinct kinds of people: those who find history to be amazingly interesting, individuals who think history is terribly dull, and people who think history is full of aliens.

The musicians themselves are at an increased risk of hearing damage since they are exposed to loud music just about every day. Whether your income relies on music […]
Hearing loss is challenging, if not impossible, to diagnose by yourself. For instance, you can’t really put your ear up to a speaker and subjectively calculate what you hear. Which means that if you want to understand what’s happening with your hearing, you need to get it tested. Now, before you start sweating or fidgeting […]
