Soon after receiving the implants, Abbi was not only able to hear, but she was also talking. [...]

While hearing loss is often blamed on aging, another survey found that 24 per cent of hearing loss is actually due to loud workplaces. What’s important about this survey is that it found that even those who didn’t work in loud work environments were [...]
