Millions of years ago, the world was quite a bit different. This steamy, volcano-laden landscape is where the long-necked Diplacusis roamed. Thanks to its really long neck and tail, Diplacusis was so big that it was afraid of no predator. Actually, the long-necked dinosaur from the Jurassic Period is known as Diplodocus. Diplacusis is a […]
Summer has finally arrived! This summer season has a lot of fun. But before you hit the beach, the concert, or the backyard cookout, don’t forget to take care of your hearing. When you’re out enjoying summer, do keep in mind that your hearing can be damaged by loud noises. So it’s important to take […]
When you take a shower, always remember to clean your ears. It’s difficult not to say that in your “parenting” voice. Maybe when you were a child you even remember your parents telling you to do it. That’s the type of memory that can take you back to simpler times as you wrap yourself in […]
