Denial is a common first response. My loved one must be simply making it seem as if their hearing loss is more severe than it actually is. She’s not old enough to need a hearing aid. Maybe, it’s become a joke between the two of you. She is always asking you to repeat what you […]

Back in the old days they were known as “books-on-tape”. Naturally, that was long before CDs, not to mention digital streaming. Nowadays, people call them audiobooks (which, we won’t lie, is a much better name). With an audiobook, you can listen to the book as it’s being read by a narrator. It’s a bit like […]

Remember the old story of Johnny Appleseed? When you were younger you probably heard the tale of how Johnny Appleseed traveled around bringing fresh apples to communities (you should eat apples because they are a healthy choice and that’s the moral of the story).
