Let’s imagine you go to a rock show. You’re awesome, so you spend the entire night up front. It isn’t exactly hearing-healthy, but it’s fun, and the next day, you wake up with both ears ringing. (That part’s not so enjoyable.) But what happens if you can only hear out of one ear when you […]

Some activities are simply staples of summertime: Outdoor concerts, fireworks shows, state fairs, air shows, and NASCAR races (look, if you like watching cars go around in circles, no one’s going to judge you). As more of these events return to something like normal, the crowds, and the noise levels, are getting larger. And that […]

In conversation with friends, you like to be courteous. At work, you want to look engaged, even enthralled with what your boss/co-worker/clients are talking about.
