Invisibility is a really useful power in the movies. Whether it’s a mud-covered hero, a cloaked starship, or a stealthy ninja, invisibility allows characters in movies to be more effective and, frequently, accomplish the impossible. Invisible health disorders, unfortunately, are just as potent and a lot less fun. Tinnitus, for example, is a really common […]
Aging is one of the most common indicators of hearing loss, and let’s face it, try as we may, we can’t avoid aging.

(After all, you’re just turning up the volume on your TV now and then, it’s nothing to worry about, right?) That’s normally the case, yes, but not always. It turns out hearing loss […]
