Imagine for a minute you’re a salesperson. Now picture that you have a call scheduled today with a very valuable client. Numerous agents from their offices have come together to discuss whether to hire your company for the job. As the call goes on, voices go up and down…and are sometimes difficult to hear. But […]
Isn’t pizza fascinating? As long as a few criteria are met, you can alter toppings, cheese, and sauce, and it’s still a pizza. Hearing loss is similar. Symptoms and manifestations are caused by a number of different problems, loud noises, genetic factors, age, or ear obstructions, but as long as you have a hard time […]

Books-on-tape was what we used to call them, way back when. Back then, of course, we didn’t even have CDs never mind streaming services.
